BaaS: What you need to know about the rise of Banking as a Service
Exploring the growth of Banking as a Service – and what it means for the industry.

Embedded Finance has become one of the hottest issues in the fintech space. The term was coined by Angela Strange at VC firm Andreessen Horowitz who also asserted that in the future “every company will be a fintech company” because every company will be able to embed financial services. But does that really mean every company will be a fully-fledged fintech company just because they have embedded financial services? Vicki Gladstone, Moorwand CEO, doesn’t think so.
Kani is now integrated with many of the world’s payments data processors – this, combined with its data and processor-agnostic approach, and the fact that Kani can easily and quickly ingest data from the multiple processors, banks and BIN sponsors that payment and fintech companies work with, makes onboarding and working with Kani fast and efficient. Raw data files in different formats can be imported and reconciled in just a few minutes, and parsed into much more understandable reports.
A dynamic landscape and the unprecedented pace of change make for an exciting and demanding marketplace, increasing the need for Capacity, Cost, and Competition. James Hodgson and Tim Tor from NatWest talk with Chris Peck of Bottomline and Teresa Connors of Payment Matters about the effectiveness of partnerships and collaborations and the difference it makes in better-serving customers.
Bottomline, a leading provider of financial technology that makes business payments simple, smart and secure, announced the latest API-based payments tracking service for banks worldwide, integrating SWIFTgpi data. The gpi data is captured on behalf of Bottomline clients and is integrated into their payments workflow, which simplifies and unifies the API access points.
The fintech industry is ultra-competitive and growth-oriented by nature. Even during the height of the pandemic, a time of suppressed economic activity, fintechs not only prevailed but also expanded operations and improved access to financial services across the globe.
As the world continues adapting to the pandemic, sales growth for the financial services industry has even more room to run. Payments, wealth management, asset exchanges — consumers expect these activities to be digital. They have an expanding appetite for new features and product differentiation, spurring even more competition and growth among fintech firms.
Long story short, it’s a good time to be in the fintech space.
But what happens when fintechs, like payment providers, grow too fast?
Your payments infrastructure could be costing you more than you realise. Using multiple providers costs time, costs cash and, more importantly, costs customers. Which is why we’re talking to clients who have moved away from traditional banking and moved towards Fintech-as-a-Platform. We’ll also be joined by Mat Megens, Founder & Chief Executive Officer from HyperJar for a fireside chat on their ‘journey’ to success, powered by Modulr.
The event will cover:
o BaaS vs FaaS: What’s the difference and what do you need to build financial products customers love?
o The key challenges faced by companies that offer payment or bank-like services
o How to avoid business inefficiencies by using a joined-up Fintech-as-a-Service partner (such as… well, Modulr)

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
