CONVENTIONAL STRUCTURE FOR UNCONVENTIONAL FINANCE
CORE BANKING FOR NEW FINANCE
MISSIONENABLE BANKS TO OPERATE LIKE FINTECHS
• Fintech is progressing faster than banksBanking innovation remains expensive and complex,
regulation is becoming more onerous and costly, and it’s
only getting worse as technology progresses.
• Everything is becoming more and more digital Society, including finance, is becoming more and more
digital, creating further pressure on banks to innovate.
• New software has created costing efficienciesAdvances in software means that banking technology can
now be efficiently developed and supplied, while
remaining flexible.
WHY NOW?“WE BUILD TOO MANY WALLS AND NOT ENOUGH BRIDGES.”
- Isaac Newton
PROBLEM: CORE SYSTEMS ARE TOO COMPLEX, EXPENSIVE, AND DIFFICULT TO INTEGRATE WITHYET NEW TECHNOLOGY IS INTEGRAL
FOR BANKS TO SURVIVE.
CUSTOMISATION Many smaller banks aren’t taken seriously by existing providers
and don’t get the functionality they require prioritised. Often they have to pay large licensing fees to cover features that are not required by them.
CORE BANKING COSTS Existing core banking systems are expensive to implement, license and
maintain. Many existing providers have to inflate their cost to support the hundreds of functionality sets they offer and the large teams required to maintain them.
REGULATION Banks struggle to integrate new technical solutions that can reduce
high compliance overheads, resulting in up to 65% of total expenses going to compliance. This is only increasing as regulation expands to meet new technology risks.
WE ENABLE BANKS TO RUN LIKE FINTECHS
BVNK ENABLES BANKS TO SAFELY INTEGRATE NEW TECHNOLOGIES
INTO THEIR BUSINESS, BY PROVIDING MODULAR AND SCALABLE
CORE BANKING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SUPPORTS NEW
TECHNOLOGIES, BUSINESS MODELS AND REGULATION.
• Customisable: API first to easily
integrate new technologies and reduce
turnaround times, and modular to
create a truly bespoke solution.
• Light-Weight: costs are significantly
reduced with modern technology and
small efficient teams.
• Digitally Native: enable truly digital
banking solutions like Machine
Readable Regulation, AI and Digital
Assets
BVNK solves many of the risks that face banks when dealing with
financial innovation.
• Technology: we are a technology first company and have
designed the system with the pace of technology in mind. • Interoperability: being an API first allows us to replace or
complement existing systems, and integrate easily with others.
• Multichannel: users can bank with multiple digital assets through
SMS, USSD, QR Codes, Facebook Messenger and more.
• Machine Readable Regulation: we codify regulation to reduce
overhead costs, compliance risk and human error.
• Alpha Friendly: fixed scope, fixed cost pilots perfect for market
and product testing.
• Digital Assets Natively Integrated: we incorporate support for
digital assets beyond just cryptocurrencies, including security
tokens, digital identity, deeds, commodities, and more. Banks and
regulators can gain previously unavailable visibility, control and
regulative authority over digital assets and transactions.
• Enterprise Security: security is woven into everything we do to meet the challenges of a digital, cloud-based world,
• Multitenancy: multi-tenant business accounts for all currencies.
