Choose your model for open platform banking
June 5, 2018
Open Banking APIs and a regulatory push to open business models are driving banks to become platform businesses. A platform strategy can facilitate an efficient value exchange and create connections with new customers and new partners.
There are four platform banking models to consider as a bank makes the pivot to an Open Banking platform strategy.
Proprietary platform
1 Sponsor : 1 Provider
In financial services, proprietary platforms use open APIs to make data accessible to developers and to offer finalized products to customers.
Joint venture platform
Many Sponsors : 1 Provider
In a joint venture model, a single provider may encourage collaboration among sponsors, such as fintechs, to create and control a shared interface.
Licensing platform
1 Sponsor : Many Providers
A licensing platform enhances network effects by using a single sponsor and a variety of providers to bring a visible interface to producers and consumers.
Shared platform
Many Sponsors : Many Providers
In a shared platform, no single party controls development, and multiple parties may bring the interface to producers and consumers.
