The insurtech group, the prosperity company AG, consisting of insurance company, digital brokerage portal and the Prosperity customer app, is expanding its range of services with a further product for private clients. In cooperation with the technology and software provider finleap connect and solarisBank banking functionalities will be added to the offering starting in the beginning of June to expand digital financial management for clients, simplify getting started in asset generation and offer more savings-based flexibility.
Contextual banking – Integration of a digital bank into existing products
“We are observing a growing demand for digital, integrated banking, independent of a traditional house bank. With our new “Digital Bank” product, we are offering our partner Prosperity the opportunity to integrate financial services into their own core business,” says Frank Kebsch, CEO of finleap connect.
The White Label product will become a seamless part of any partner’s existing product offering and will be made available to the end customers of a partner, complete with the partner’s name and branding. The app enables a completely digital account opening process as well as mobile banking and card management. The user experience is based on user-friendly functionalities, a clear design focus and maximum ease of use.
“With this new offering, we can now give our customers the option of handling both pension provision and banking digitally via our platform. This enables us to combine asset generation with greater flexibility for the client in terms of savings. All of this without any development effort on our part, and with a state-of-the-art banking app,” says Reto Näscher, CEO of the prosperity company AG.
Frank Kebsch, CEO finleap connect, emphasizes, “Digital Bank is by no means a challenger bank, rather an extension of the existing product range to include banking functionalities in the context of, for example, someone’s life situation, the specifics of a particular industry, the regional context, or even a business transaction – this is called contextual banking. It is precisely this addition that is relevant for different providers, even for completely new target groups and industries.
The Digital Bank is based on the full banking license and the APIs for digital bank accounts and payment cards of solarisBank. This technological and regulatory conjunction to banking allows finleap connect to build its mobile banking offering. finleap connect and solarisBank, the first Banking-as-a-Service platform with a full German banking license, are close partners and part of finleap’s fintech ecosystem.
