Tech giants including Gojek, Grab and Shopee have been establishing direct links between their apps and the digital banks they own to provide more seamless payment options for users. The new method bypasses e-wallets, which have been the preferred payment method on those apps for the past decade, and offers additional benefits, such as monthly interest. Analysts say this could provide digital banks with much-needed access to capital and lower their overall cost of funds. It would also aid the tech giants’ quest for profitability in the current high-interest rate environment. #business #finance #transaction #payment #digitalbank

XYB, the Coreless Banking Pioneer, Appoints Derek Joyce as CEO Commenting on his appointment, Joyce says: “Banking institutions are facing one of the greatest crises in their recent history. Standing between legacy technology, increasing regulation, greater competition from modern organisations and increasingly cost-conscious customers, they’re finding themselves chained to legacy technology and underserved by modern providers. They’re aware that building themselves is fraught with risk – they’ve been there, done that – so who can they turn to?” “That’s why I’m so excited to build and scale XYB. Now, as an independent PaaS company, we are ready to charge forward with enormous potential. We are poised to help banks refresh and revolutionise their tech stacks with the digital financial services of today and tomorrow. We empower banks to transform and modernise their legacy systems, integrate new services, and help them prepare for regulatory change with minimal risk. https://lnkd.in/g_gRikxU Jonas Kiiver #fintech #finance #banking #paytech #payments #fintechnews #paymentsnews
