Who’s ready to bridge fiat and crypto today?

The global pandemic has undoubtedly catalysed the drive to digitisation in Financial Services.  There was an increasing trend to move to digital banking already, the pandemic has accelerated this by perhaps a decade, and across all age groups. Traditional banks were already under pressure from neobanks, whose slick user experiences delivered through mobile offerings raised customer expectations. Simultaneously, the way that payments are made is also changing fast. The emergence of crypto-currencies as a mechanism to store and transfer value also needs to be taken in to consideration by mainstream banks that are typically constrained by legacy applications never designed for this type of customer interaction and transaction processing. There is a real need for banks to support digital customer payment journeys using technology that leverages the capabilities and data bound into legacy applications but insulates their deficiencies. Episode 6's Tritium platform brings unrivalled value to help banks innovate digital solutions. 

Our modern, cloud native platform delivers valuable key capabilities:
A multi asset class ledger and digital wallet management that enables the transfer of value through a range of mechanisms – true multi- fiat currency, crypto currency and other tokens such as loyalty and reward points; Market leading configurable products, with a user-driven design tool so business users can easily customise product attributes such as FX margins, fee structures, risk profiles and compliance safeguards all in real time without waiting for lengthy development cycles; This functionality is all accessible through an API framework for integration with mobile apps, web portals and adjacent space applications and networks such as card rails, payment gateways, KYC/AML and FX and liquidity providers.
 
Legacy applications have been the beating heart of banks for many years, decades in some cases, and there is a reticence to make changes that could have ripple effects across the organisation in terms of cost and risk.  E6 Tritium delivers a modernised, digital banking customer experience working co-operatively with legacy applications without unnecessary operational disruption.  Banks can embark on digital transformation in timeframes that are not possible in evolving existing technology or starting projects from scratch.  
 
There is a compelling business case waiting to be unlocked through innovation, competitive differentiation, customer retention, growth and acquisition.  There is an urgent need for financial institutions to upgrade existing payments infrastructure to meet changing consumer expectations and regulatory requirements. There is a lot at stake here, too: $250 billion worth of payments revenue could move to non-financial institutions by 2030 if banks cannot keep up, according to IDC’s estimates. Financial services propositions are developing faster than ever before, now is the time for action.
