As financial institutions face increasing competition and customer demand for seamless, digital-first experiences, the pressure to modernize operations is at an all-time high. According to BCG, financial institutions with clear digital strategies outperform those that are lagging in transformation. The FinTech Magazine highlights how 2024 will see increasing pressure on banks to innovate, driven by customer expectations for faster, more flexible services. Institutions that embrace digital transformation can stay competitive and meet these demands, while those that do not, face stagnation and falling behind.
Digital transformation has moved from being a future goal to a current imperative for banks looking to scale their operations, manage regulatory compliance, and deliver personalized services. FiveDegrees and Fyndoo offer financial institutions the tools to meet these challenges head-on. The integration of FiveDegrees and Fyndoo supports the full spectrum of banking operations.
Cloud lending: Streamlining the lending lifecycle with Fyndoo
The lending process has historically been a bottleneck for many financial institutions. Manual processes, isolated systems, and outdated technology make it challenging for financial institutions to efficiently manage loan origination, servicing, and collections. According to The Financial Brand, legacy systems prevent seamless communication and create inefficiencies, leading to disjointed workflows, increased errors, and delays in servicing loans. To overcome these issues, adopting modern, integrated systems is critical for streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.
Fyndoo simplifies lending, making it effortless for financial institutions to digitize the entire lifecycle—from loan origination and credit risk assessment to servicing and collections. Built as a cloud-native platform, Fyndoo supports the rapid digitization of complex lending operations, reducing the reliance on legacy systems that traditionally slow down decision-making and reduce operational efficiency. Fyndoo's low- and no-code environment enables financial institutions to configure workflows, set business rules, and automate compliance checks without any development effort.
Fyndoo sets up your custom risk assessment policies directly in its environment, allowing you to run borrower applications through your model for automated results. We also offer the flexibility to include human oversight in the process—enabling you to review, adjust, or approve outcomes as needed. This adaptability is crucial for institutions looking to reduce administrative overhead and scale operations.
"The admin time per file has dropped from 12 to less than 4 hours, a massive efficiency gain!"
Fyndoo’s modular design and comprehensive integration framework enables seamless integration with existing infrastructure, making it easier for banks to scale operations without a full overhaul of their technology stack. Fyndoo’s bank/label structure allows bankers to quickly set up new business propositions within separate labels, all under the same bank. These labels inherit the bank’s overarching policies while offering the flexibility to customize each proposition to meet specific needs This modularity ensures that as the bank grows, Fyndoo can support new lending products or additional services without complex reconfiguration.
By digitizing loan origination, servicing, and collections, banks can reduce manual data entry, minimize error rates, and offer a smoother, more responsive customer experience—all while maintaining strict adherence to industry standards.
Core Banking as the backbone: Five Degrees Core Banking platform
While Fyndoo revolutionizes the lending process, the FiveDegrees Core Banking platform forms the secure foundation for banks to handle deposits, accounts, payments, and transaction processing with confidence. FiveDegrees is designed to be a cloud-native solution that not only simplifies core banking functions but also ensures that financial institutions can meet regulatory and compliance requirements seamlessly.
The FiveDegrees Core Banking platform's microservices architecture allows each banking module—whether it's account management, deposits, or payments—to function independently. This design enables banks to perform upgrades, add new features, or scale services without impacting other areas of the system. For example, the platform’s API-driven architecture enables banks to integrate third-party services and fintech solutions with minimal disruption. This ensures that financial institutions can continue to innovate and meet customer demands while maintaining operational stability.
“The financial benefits of FiveDegrees are amazing. We can easily upscale our business without the doubts of security, time, or cost.”
The platform's “skinny core” design prioritizes essential functions, providing a leaner, more efficient system compared to traditional core banking platforms. This allows banks to focus their resources on customer-facing innovations and value-added services while maintaining a strong foundation of operational stability and regulatory compliance. Moreover, with built-in support for multi-currency processing, real-time data access, and advanced analytics, the FiveDegrees platform offers the flexibility and agility needed to manage complex transactions and rapidly changing financial environments.
The Power of Integration: Digital-first experience
Individually, both FiveDegrees and Fyndoo offer transformative benefits, but when integrated, they deliver unparalleled value. The combined power enables financial institutions to build a fully digital, end-to-end banking experience, from loan origination to transaction processing.
The integration of FiveDegrees Core Banking platform’s secure, scalable backbone with Fyndoo’s agile lending capabilities, allows banks to digitize all aspects of their operations. The seamless flow of data between lending and core banking functions enables real-time data sharing and processing. For example, loan origination processes managed by Fyndoo feed directly into the FiveDegrees platform, ensuring that customer data, compliance checks, and risk assessments are synchronized in real time. This eliminates the need for manual data transfers and ensures operational continuity.
Moreover, this integration offers financial institutions the flexibility to scale their services and add new products as needed without being constrained by outdated systems. With an integrated platform built on a modern, API-driven, cloud-native infrastructure, banks can rapidly innovate and introduce new products to the market while maintaining security and compliance. The result is a truly digital-first experience for customers—faster loan approvals, personalized product offerings, and secure transactions—empowering financial institutions to stay competitive in an increasingly digital world.
