Everything has to be more digital, more online, and easier to handle remotely \u2014 <strong>for both employees and customers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, financial institutions have had to change not only the way they deal with internal, back-office operations but also how they <strong>interact with clients<\/strong>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/blog\/10-benefits-of-a-digital-acceleration-strategy\/\" title=\"10 benefits of a digital acceleration strategy for your business\">digital transformation<\/a>, despite its challenges, has given these institutions the chance to shift away from their old, traditional departments towards more modern virtual platforms, reducing the number of costly physical service points that are needed. Plus, when the transformation is run wisely, <strong>it opens up new streams of revenue<\/strong> in the form of new customer-centred services.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what kind of digital solutions do they leverage, exactly? Below, you will find a few powerful examples (that we, at Future Processing, are proud to be associated with).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Marketplace as a Service&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>One of the greatest examples of a digital transformation solution is <a href=\"https:\/\/21.finance\/solution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marketplace as a Service<\/a> (MaaS) from <a href=\"https:\/\/21.finance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">21finance<\/a>, which offers banks and financial intermediaries <strong>the possibility to create and run their own digital online shop for financial products<\/strong>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/blog\/digital-transformation-in-finance-what-you-must-know-now\/\" title=\"Digital Transformation in finance: what you have to know now\">fintech\u2019s customers<\/a> can optimize their sales channels to increase assets under management, reduce operating costs, acquire new customers and ultimately open up new revenue channels.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"o-icon-box__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"o-icon-box o-icon-box--big o-icon-box--italics m-cool-gray-light\">\n            <div class=\"o-icon-box__text f-headline-extra-big\">\n                The white label solution gives them access to software and support services to provide a fully digital and regulated investment experience for their investors. In addition to traditional financial products, it is also electronic securities, Security Token and cryptocurrencies that can be offered and traded on their own marketplace.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>MaaS works great for both financial institutions and their customers, including investors and issuers. Thanks to <strong>client confidentiality<\/strong>, a 24\/7\/365 help desk, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/blog\/so-you-think-your-data-is-secure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"So you think your data is secure?\">data protection<\/a>, full compliance, low service fees, transparency, access to a qualified partner network, very fast time-to-market, and much more \u2014 everyone gets a <strong>truly holistic experience<\/strong>, tailored to their individual needs. If wished, MaaS clients can co-place products across multiple marketplaces of banks, asset\/wealth managers, and other intermediaries or book additional banking services such as crypto custody &amp; brokerage, liability umbrellas, and many more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Blockchain-based systems&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Another great example of innovative digital solutions is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/client\/smart-valor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blockchain-based systems<\/a>. Designed to make the financial services sector noticeably less vulnerable to fraud and much more transparent \u2014 blockchain also allows customers to <strong>benefit from lower costs of services <\/strong>(thanks to, e.g., reduced fees). Systems like this are now being leveraged by financial institutions that have to deal with large datasets \u2014 in order to build and maintain data integrity and security.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Blockchain in finance- the main benefits:<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Better transparency, higher security<\/strong>: money transfers, payments, and other activities all become more traceable. Also, cryptographic algorithms secure the information flow between all parties involved.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bloom of the cryptocurrency market<\/strong>: blockchain lowers the threshold of entry for alternative digital currencies, and provides seamless exchange services.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faster payments<\/strong>: thanks to a decentralised ledger for payments, blockchain enables high-speed payments.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This technology is still being developed, perfected, and tested across many industries. However, it has already managed to transform the financial industry to a great extent.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"b-button\">\n            <a class=\"o-button o-button--primary o-button--s o-button--icon-right o-button--arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/software-services\/data-science-engineering\/\">\n            Discover Data Science Services\n            <svg class='o-icon o-icon--16 o-icon--arrow '>\n            <use xlink:href='#icon-16_arrow'><\/use>\n          <\/svg>\n                            <svg class='o-icon o-icon--24 o-icon--arrow '>\n            <use xlink:href='#icon-24_arrow'><\/use>\n          <\/svg>                    <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Banking as a Service Modules&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/21.finance\/banking-as-a-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Banking as a Service Modules<\/a> (BaaSM) is another solution offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/21.finance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">21.finance<\/a> \u2014 dedicated to marketplace operators (financial and non-financial organisations) and their issuers who want to integrate different banking services into their platforms and under their own brand.

Bearing this in mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coconet.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CoCoNet<\/a> developed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coconet.de\/en\/corporate-banking-solutions\/security-token\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MULTIVERSA Token<\/a> not only for mobile applications, but for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.future-processing.com\/client\/coconet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">desktop<\/a> users as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Token apps &#8211; 2 safe solutions:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The token app for smartphones<\/strong> holds the required RSA keys for user authentication and authorisation in all of the connected applications, such as banking portals. It supports biometric access modes, including fingerprint ID and face recognition.\u00a0<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The token app for desktop<\/strong>, on the other hand, doesn\u2019t need any other devices, and all private keys are securely stored on the user\u2019s computer (with Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS systems), which makes things a lot easier. It fulfils the security requirements of PSD2 and complies with the EBICS standard.\u00a0<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both <strong>MULTIVERSA <\/strong>apps replace complicated (and often very expensive) tools for user authentication and authorisation, without compromising security. Actually, just the opposite \u2014\u202fthey take security to another level.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>There is more to do&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The solutions mentioned above are some examples of the possibilities of new technologies that are constantly evolving and disrupting the financial industry.
