Open Banking is fast becoming a standard, and Banks are beginning to embrace new distribution channels. While the BIAN model has been around for a number of years, in this conversation shot at our offices in London earlier this year, Biju Suresh Babu, Managing Director of Fioranos Banking & Financial services practice catches up with Hans Tesselaar, Executive Director of BIAN to discuss:
  • Why the BIAN model is relevant to Banks today
  • How BIAN can be used as a template to build the Bank of the future, and
  • How Fiorano technology brings BIAN based standardisation to-life, through APIs and microservices.

Building the Bank of the Future


Fiorano technology helps:

  • Banks deliver on requirements for Embedded Finance / Embedded Banking / Banking as a Service.
  • Banks with legacy systems, retain and re-use these assets, adapting to next generational business models with minimum disruption and risk.

With BIAN on Fiorano, banks can progressively modernize, in the process moving away from closed, proprietary formats to open, standards based models. Most important, BIAN on Fiorano offers a model for Banks to introduce microservices and API-centric architectures at their cores, so they are future-ready.
