Lead Bank’s partnership with Finzly allows the Bank to offer sophisticated payment services for technology-focused businesses and fintech companies via APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Because of Finzly, Lead Bank gives fintech companies the ability to access multiple customizable and secure banking services.
Finzly’s digital core and Payment Galaxy, run as a parallel core to the Bank’s legacy platforms, offer an API middleware while also replacing the legacy payment infrastructure at the Bank. Finzly’s digital core offers a real-time multi-asset ledger with FBO (For Benefit Of) and virtual account capabilities to track any assets. Finzly’s Payment Galaxy is a full-service platform with API middleware that processes all payment types (ACH, wires, RTP, FedNow & SWIFT), exceptions, and returns, with direct settlement and clearing connectivity with The Federal Reserve, The Clearing House, and SWIFT payment networks.
“Lead Bank continues to invest in technology and to offer best-in-class business payment solutions. Finzly enables Lead Bank to provide payments processing services to a wider audience of clients and lays the foundation for Real-Time Payments (RTP) and FedNowSM services in the future. We are excited to debut this cutting-edge API origination solution with PointChain,” says Peter McVey, Director of Payments, Lead Bank.
“We are proud of this milestone where PointChain was able to develop and integrate with Lead Bank and launch rapidly. In the modern financial world, banks’ new customers are developers and fintechs, and banking will be available from any brand. The future is bright for those institutions that enable a connected banking experience with instant real-time updates. Lead Bank is leading the way in this financial transformation, and we are proud of our partnership and accomplishments together,” remarks Murthy Balusu, CTO, Finzly.
