Have you met PortX?

Throughout my time in banking and now with BankTech Ventures, something I’ve heard consistently from financial institutions of all sizes when discussing new technology is “does it integrate with my core?” The trauma we’ve all experienced from having to get multiple vendors to talk to each other, let alone convince one to allow the other to plug into their systems, was probably the cause of my first few gray’s (thanks, vendor I won’t name).

‍

The cost and slow-moving speeds associated with having to work with core restrictions slows innovation, halts momentum, and brings projects to a standstill. Having to do multiple point-to-point integrations as you’re expanding your product and feature offerings is draining on resources and opens your bank to additional risk as you attempt to manage individual vendor access across your platforms. 

‍

If this sounds like you and your bank – good news! Our friends over at PortX have built just what you need. PortX creates a consistent integration layer that enables much more predictable and cost-effective integrations to build and operate on top of existing core technology. PortX helps FIs and hub operators eliminate dependencies on banking core vendors and leverages the core for what it does best; implement API agility layers for rapid integration and the freedom to easily add or remove systems. As FIs continue to innovate, PortX allows customers the ability to reuse assets in the form of custom APIs, reducing the time to integrate future features or products whether built internally or externally across financial services.
