Open Banking- The way we see it
Open Banking is a foundational shift in the way banks do business, who they do business with and what they sell. While the term itself has come to be synonymous with an API Economy, the nature of change that it brings goes beyond technology developments, product innovation or regulatory edicts.
Open Banking requires banks to reinvent and reposition their businesses to remain relevant within customer lifestyles and customer journeys. A range of rapidly evolving collaborate-compete business models define the ways of interaction between banks, FinTechs and a wide ecosystem of financial and non-financial partners.
HCL's Open Banking solutions comprise a set of techno-functional frameworks, a well-curated FinTech partner ecosystem, an innovation infrastructure and a depth of engineering and design thinking expertise that help a bank create differentiated Open Banking strategies and implement them.
