Fidor partners with Van Lanschot in the Netherlands to create the first PSD2-inspired Payment Avenue
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, 9 March 2017
Fidor, the innovative provider of digital banking solutions that helps firms
launch and run their own digital banks, today signed a partnership agreement
with Van Lanschot (Euronext: LANS), the leading wealth management firm, founded
in 1737 in the Netherlands.
The partnership will enable Van Lanschot to upgrade their payments software and
infrastructure using the Fidor digital banking solution.
As part of the agreement, Fidor will manage user and account data and will
process Van Lanschot's payments flows within its fidorOS (fOS) platform in
addition to modernising the user experience with iOS and Android native mobile
applications and a desktop internet banking platform front end.
This agreement means that, over time, Van Lanschot clients will enjoy an
improved and modern user experience across a range of value added services: an
innovative and modern mobile payment app, On-us real-time payments, multiple
accounts in multiple currencies, global money transfers, P2P transfers in
addition to special services for the Dutch market such as iDEAL payments and
Acceptgiro.
This partnership comes at a time where banks will soon be facing pressure to
comply with the new Payment Services Directive (PSD2). The fidorOS platform is
built using open APIs and geared for the future. The integration of fidorOS will
provide Van Lanschot's platform with added benefits such as significant cost
efficiencies, added flexibility and fast implementation while reducing risks for
Van Lanschot to enter into a major and costly infrastructure change on their
back end.
"To be working with the most reputable wealth management bank in the Netherlands
shows how far the belief in the effectiveness of digital banking has now
progressed. This partnership with Van Lanschot marks the launch of Fidor's
Payments Avenue, which will be extended to other European countries and offered
to banks that wish to join our payment business model as a service," said Ge
Drossaert, Chief Commercial Officer and Member of the Board at Fidor AG.
Richard Bruens, member of the Executive Board of Van Lanschot, said: "This is an
important step, as it will allow us over time to provide our clients with state-
of-the-art payments services and products. In Fidor Solutions, we believe to
have found the best partner to improve our offering and focus even more on our
core business, wealth management. Fidor's Payments Avenue also opens up a
multitude of opportunities as banks are given more chance to collaborate
together".
