Fintech Hotseat Head-to-Head: Bank Connectivity and Data Transformation | September 12

by Brian Weeks | Aug 14, 2024 | Replays, Webinars

Ready access to data from banks is foundational. The richness of that data impacts various operational and analytical areas, from treasury and accounting to accounts receivable and accounts payable. Data is required to feed our developing analytics engines to support better decisions. Meanwhile, it is increasingly important but challenging to execute transactions across many platforms with different banks for multiplying payment formats – all while still supporting robust controls.
Some formats are on track to be retired, while new payment rails and formats add complexity alongside opportunity. Legacy systems continue, but new connectivity methods (such as APIs) expand. Keeping up with the technology “debt” while supporting the new presents technologists and treasury professionals with a conundrum that must be solved gracefully.
Fintechs are addressing these concerns in various ways, using different tools and a multiplicity of partnerships and strategies. Evaluate their approaches as they show and explain how they solve for the hyper-expanding complexity to simplify the missions of both the corporate treasurer and corporate technologist.
