Equinix.com Confidential The emergence ofBanking as a Service Payments White Paper 4 In October 2020 in Australia, Westpac announced a partnership with Afterpay, one of the world’s leading Buy Now, Pay Later brands, to provide deposit accounts as part of its new Banking as a Service strategy, commencing in Q1 2021. The agreement makes Afterpay the first third-party fintech to be launched on Westpac’s cloud-native “10X” digital banking platform, which is provided by Future Technologies. The move is part of Westpac’s new digital strategy to engage and work with fintech partners through the 10X platform, a system that is operated separately from the main Westpac banking system. As part of the agreement, Afterpay’s 3.3 million Australian customers will be able to open transaction and savings accounts with Afterpay and undertake transactions without needing an external bank. Afterpay would then have access to all of the spending data from the deposit accounts, from which it plans “to assist them [their deposit account holders] in budgeting more effectively and avoiding debt traps” through the provision of budgeting and spending tools. The data could also potentially be used in the credit-decisioning process for future Afterpay credit/loan products. Although Afterpay does not hold a banking license in Australia, it is able to use Westpac’s own license as part of the BaaS arrangement. Therefore, Afterpay deposit account holders would be covered for up to AUD250,000 as part of the Australian Government’s deposit guarantee scheme.

  • Next-Gen Technology Transformation in Financial Services
    April 2020 Next-gen Technology transformation in Financial Services Introduction Financial Services technology is currently in the midst of a profound transformation, as CIOs and their teams prepare to embrace the next major phase of digital transformation. The challenge they face is significant: in a competitive environment of rising cost pressures, where rapid action and response is imperative, financial institutions must modernize their technology function to support expanded digitization of both the front and back ends of their businesses. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 situation is putting immense pressure on technology capabilities (e.g., remote working, new cyber-security threats) and requires CIOs to anticipate and prepare for the “next normal” (e.g., accelerated shift to digital channels). Most major financial institutions are well aware of the imperative for action and have embarked on the necessary transformation. However, it is early days—based on our experience, most are only at the beginning of their journey. And in addition to the pressures mentioned above, many are facing challenges in terms of funding, complexity, and talent availability. This collection of articles—gathered from our recent publishing on the theme of financial services technology—is intended to serve as a roadmap for executives tasked with ramping up technology innovation, increasing tech productivity, and modernizing their platforms. The articles are organized into three major themes: 1. Reimagine the role of technology to be a business and innovation partner 2. Reinvent technology delivery to drive a step change in productivity and speed 3. Future-proof the foundation by building flexible and secure platforms The pace of change in financial services technology—as with technology more broadly—leaves very little time for leaders to respond.

  • The Future of Banking Is Open
    Visa Consulting & Analytics The Future of Banking is Open 1 Visa Consulting & Analytics Open banking What it is, why it matters, and how banks can lead the change If a consumer wants to block out the world around them, a single app gives them access to hundreds of thousands of songs and podcasts; over time, this app learns about their tastes and suggests new tunes for their listening pleasure. As technology evolves and artificial intelligence becomes more pervasive, consumers are beginning to ask why managing money cannot be as intuitive as managing music? Data is a key ingredient in offering personalized financial services, but it has been traditionally hard for consumers to share sensitive information with third parties, in a secure and consistent way. In response, financial innovation globally by both traditional and emerging players has taken place. This has led to an increase in financial innovation globally that is driven partly by the market and partly by regulation. As the world responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the clear outcomes is accelerated digital engagement, something that can only be done quickly and at scale through an open ecosystem and the unbundling of financial services. In this paper, we look at what open banking is, the way some of the world’s most forward-thinking banks are responding, and how Visa Consulting & Analytics can help in transforming your business. 2 Contents What is open banking, and why does it matter? What is driving open banking? What are the consumer considerations? What are the commercial implications for ecosystem players? How are banks responding? Five strategies to consider How can Visa help you take the next step on your open banking journey? 3 What is open banking, and why does it matter? Broadly put, the term open banking refers to the use of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to share consumers’ financial data (with their consent) to trusted third-parties that, in turn, create and distribute novel financial products and services.
