Silicon Valley-based Mbanq, a BaaS provider has signed a strategic agreement with Temenos to launch a Credit-Union-as-a Service offering and to accelerate BaaS adoption across the US.
CUaaS is offered by Mbanq’s Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) and will be powered by The Temenos Banking Cloud.
This solution is a new end-to-end comprehensive service to help US Credit Unions of any size accelerate their digital transformation and deliver digital financial services and experiences to members.
Mbanq’s CUaaS combines Temenos’ modern cloud technology with operations, legal compliance and financial services solutions, wrapped into a single Credit Union ecosystem.
The two companies are already engaged in customer acquisition and proof of concepts in the US with Credit Unions.
According to the press release, many credit unions in the US are burdened by legacy systems unable to offer basic digital banking services such as digital onboarding, which emerged as a ‘must-have’ capability during the pandemic.
This way, Mbanq and Temenos are expected to offer rapid digital transformation so Credit Unions can deliver competitive financial services to their members through all touchpoints.
These capabilities will be powered by Temenos open cloud technology. The Temenos Banking Cloud, which combines Temenos Transact, Temenos Infinity and Lifecycle Management banking services, will connect via REST APIs to the Mbanq cloud platform.
Mbanq will also offer a fast-track solution based on Temenos’ technology to fintechs and e-commerce firms wishing to embed banking services. Furthermore, Temenos will offer value-added BaaS capabilities to banks such as lending, Buy Now Pay Later or credit card services through Mbanq.
