Estonia-based core banking provider Tuum has announced a strategic partnership with Zenus Bank, a US digital bank, to jointly launch a global Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform. This collaboration will enable fintech companies, banks, super apps, and businesses around the world to seamlessly embed US banking services into their offerings.
As part of this partnership, Zenus Bank has successfully integrated Tuum’s Accounts and Payments modules, enhancing its existing technology infrastructure and vendor integrations. This move aligns with Zenus Bank’s broader goal of creating a comprehensive global BaaS platform.
The initiative is designed to expand access to US banking services for businesses and consumers globally. With Zenus Bank’s ongoing growth in the digital banking space, Tuum will serve as a key partner, supporting its expansion efforts and enhancing its reach.
Scalable Banking-as-a-Service Solutions
Zenus Bank’s decision to partner with Tuum was driven by the need for a flexible and scalable core banking solution that could optimize its existing infrastructure. Tuum’s platform empowers Zenus Bank to further develop its services, allowing for global access to the US banking infrastructure.
This partnership builds on Tuum’s recent collaboration with Flexys to improve debt management for banks. Together, Tuum and Zenus will provide businesses with new opportunities to incorporate US financial services into their product offerings.
By going live with Tuum’s Accounts and Payments modules, Zenus Bank is better positioned to scale its commercial banking capabilities and establish a solid foundation for its BaaS offerings. These modules will enable Zenus to advance its cross-border transactional banking strategy, leveraging both regulatory and technological expertise while integrating with existing systems.
Zenus Bank’s Strategic Growth in BaaS
Zenus Bank representatives highlighted the value of Tuum’s flexibility and quick time-to-market, which allowed the bank’s developers to overcome operational complexities. This strategic partnership positions Zenus for further growth as it continues to expand its BaaS services.
Several BaaS partnerships are set to go live by the end of Q4 2024, as Zenus Bank remains focused on increasing global access to US banking solutions.
This collaboration not only strengthens Zenus Bank’s position in the digital banking sector but also marks a significant step towards creating a truly global BaaS platform, capable of serving businesses and consumers worldwide.
Conclusion
The partnership between Tuum and Zenus Bank is a pivotal moment in the development of a global BaaS platform. By combining Tuum’s flexible, scalable solutions with Zenus Bank’s innovative digital banking approach, businesses worldwide will soon have unprecedented access to US banking services, helping to shape the future of cross-border financial services.
