With digital transformation hitting the banking sector worldwide, banking entities are in need of a rapid digitisation of their processes. Customer-centricity has become ever-more pervasive, and time-tested in-house banking operations no longer fit the requirements of an increasingly demanding consumer base. As banking and insurance processes undergo disruptive changes and technological upgrades, it is not always possible for banks to handle all workflows in-house. The need for outsourcing and collaborative efforts with financial institutions and fintechs is pressing in such an economy. Banks are posed with two options to achieve digital business – by proving to be a strong customer interface provider for digital partners or as a navigation platform in an ecosystem of financial services.
Enter Next Digital Banking (ndgit), a market-leading open finance platform for innovating banking and insurance in the European banking and insurance sphere. ndgit provides a toolset that enables banks to implement new use cases in less time and with greater user optimisation. Acting as a middleware, ndgit has been implemented in as many as 30 banks across Europe. Founded in Munich in 2016 by Oliver Dlugosch and Florian Pahl, the organisation has centred on the theme of connected banking technology right from its inception. “ndgit facilitates thousands of small and highly-specialised micro-services for developers simultaneously, aiding efficient infrastructure integration,” says Dlugosch, co-founder and CEO of ndgit. “With our platform, banks are decoupling from the constraints of their back-end systems and opening themselves up to third-party access.”
ndgit comes with a comprehensive application processing interface (API) for management and business and security concepts of digital banking. The platform offers banking as a service (BaaS), ecosystem banking, digital lending, open wealth, foreign exchange (FX) payments and Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) compliance under its service range of operational functions. With PSD2 acting as an important catalyst for European banks to prepare for the future of connected banking, electronic payments are regulated to allow the entry of third party providers (TPPs) into the transaction.
