What problems are we solving?
7
Banking interfaces are out-dated
‣ Access to traditional financial service provider is complicated
‣ Maintenance and care is expensive and often not worthwhile for many companies
‣ Security is key for banking services
‣ Interfaces are still national not global
figo enables developers to connect to every financial service provider without specific bank know-how
Digitalization requires speed
‣ Implementation of all financial service providers would require a months long project
‣ Connecting to some specific providers will be very clumsy
‣ Additional comfort features are not even taken into account
‣ Companies are often deciding against a banking implementation due to all these problems
Target groups
