Vault Core is a highly configurable platform which, through industry-standard APIs, easily connects and plugs into an ecosystem of technology vendors, allowing banks to build a best-in-class technology stack. In the past, clients would have had to undergo a comprehensive vendor selection process and build out integrations for each of their selected vendors. A costly and resource-intensive task. 

Our Integration Library drastically simplifies this challenge for our clients. It is a curated collection of technology vendor integrations, interoperable with our core banking platform Vault Core, built either by us, or by our best-in-class partners. The library acts like an accelerator, making it both easier and faster to select and build integrations to the other vendors needed around Vault Core.

The Integration Library is available for all new and existing clients, and we will detail some of the benefits these partnerships and integrations bring to our clients running on the Vault platform below.

It complements our existing Product Library, which includes a full array of financial products written as smart contracts. The Product Library contains financial products for accounts, cards, mortgages, loans, and more – ready for deployment or modification by our clients, before they go live.

Our strategy

We select our partners from multiple banking and fintech domains, providing our clients with a wide set of documented integrations. Currently we have over twenty integrations built and ready to use across a range of use cases, along with several in build. 

These integrations de-risk and accelerate the implementation of Vault Core for clients, making it quicker and easier to stand up a full technology stack around their bank.

Our API-driven architecture makes these integrations simple – allowing the solutions to seamlessly plug into Vault Core.

Included in the library

All integrations are supported with documentation and testing to give our clients full confidence that their chosen solution will connect seamlessly with Vault Core, accelerating build time and reducing the cost of integration.

The integrations are built by either our own in-house team of experts or our technology and consulting partners. In all cases, we validate and approve the integration before shipping.

Benefits to clients

Clients see a significant increase in speed to market – underpinned by pre-built, pre-tested, and fully-documented solutions – removing much of the overhead associated with selecting and plugging-in third-party technology into an existing core system.

We work with best-in-business vendors in four categories – Moving Money, Data & Risk, Customer Interaction and Customer Knowledge. Our team actively scours the fintech and banking technology ecosystem and we are in conversation with the leading players in every fintech sector from KYC, FX, risk, onboarding, crypto, and beyond. We partner only with vendors we believe are the right fit for our core banking system, who share the same culture of technology excellence, and will deliver material value to our clients.

When they choose to integrate solutions from our Integration Library, our clients benefit from the resources and effort our team has invested into each solution. With every solution tested and validated, clients have full confidence in the vendor technologies they select, both in their performance and their compatibility with Vault Core.

Partners and their technologies

The Integration Library consists of 20+ partners covering a large breadth of the fintech and banking ecosystem. The library is constantly evolving and expanding – and over time we will offer a complete ecosystem of solutions with regional coverage in all domains.
