Technological innovations are reshaping the ever-evolving landscape of the financial industry, and at the heart of this transformation is one central need: the ability to connect.

Banks and credit unions need the ability to connect their cores effortlessly to leverage fintech advancements successfully. This brings us to a crucial question: How does OmniConnect serve financial institutions, especially banks, credit unions, and cores? Let’s explore.

The OmniConnect Advantage

In the current digital age, the fusion of finance and technology isn’t just about innovation; it’s about equipping financial institutions of all sizes with the right tools to stay competitive and relevant. The OmniConnect platform, developed by Kinective, manifests this very ethos. With a single connection, banks and credit unions can seamlessly bridge to over 80 cutting-edge fintechs, unlocking a horizon of opportunities.

Understanding the OmniConnect Platform

Born out of a rising demand for integrated fintech solutions, Kinective’s OmniConnect Enterprise API stands as a beacon of secure, comprehensive, and seamless connectivity. It powers a plethora of services ranging from money movement (payments) to digital banking solutions, knitting them into the institution’s core to form a cohesive ecosystem.

Digital adoption, as reflected by a whopping 91% of bank and credit union clients conducting online transactions as of July 2020, emphasizes the dire need for such integrated platforms. OmniConnect fills this gap, ensuring community financial institutions compete and level the playing field with their larger counterparts.
