Benefits from Banking Software as a Service (SaaS) solution
Access to ready integrations and powerful partner ecosystem
With Core banking modules and applications, you receive ready-to-use integrations with banks, payment services providers, KYC/AML providers, currency exchange, card issuers. Each new integration can take quite a lot time, but you receive them free, depending on your package. You can pick required integrations from the list of ready-to-use integrations and start using them.
Fast-to-market strategy
You can launch new products and services faster with pre-integrated services. For example, building your solution, including end-user applications, may take more than twelve months. But with a ready-to-use Banking SaaS, you can receive access to the full-fledged system in three months.
No huge initial investments
Usually, in-house software development, purchasing a software licence or software codes, require enormous investments at the very start. SaaS will help you eliminate or even avoid additional setup costs. With Banking SaaS, you receive a solution on a subscription model and with reduced or even eliminated (for some packages) setup fee.
Simple budget management
You can calculate your budget beforehand. Plan a setup payment if you have got this in your package, use free man/hours for customisation, add additional customisations if needed and budget monthly fee payments. No more unexpected expenses.
Cost-Efficient solution
Banking cloud-based SaaS solution provides a cost-effective pricing model that allows banks and fintechs to avoid substantial capital expenditures (Capex) required for up-front IT investments. It will allow companies to limit high recurring expenses to ensure that infrastructure and software are up to date.
Besides, you don’t need to manage the actual infrastructure and solution. Meaning that, there are no investments in IT resources, including recruitment of internal IT teams and professionals for development, implementation, testing, and support.

In which cases you shouldn’t choose Banking cloud-based SaaS solution for your business
No integrations on-demand available
Keep in mind that Banking cloud-based SaaS solution offers only ready integrations. If you need specific integrations – you need to go for a software license or purchasing codes of our Macrobank.
Lack of support for massive changes
With Banking Software as a Service (SaaS) solution you can make different customisation, e.g. to change business processes logic, brand your apps, add/delete fields, set up modules for your business. However, the solution is pre-designed and won’t provide any massive changes. If you have a project with unique requirements – look at a software license or consider purchasing codes of our Macrobank.
High-priced model for large companies
This model can be less cost-effective when your business starts growing. Banking Software as a Service (SaaS) solution`s pricing usually depends on transaction volumes and how many customers you have. If you are snowballing, we recommend you to transit to a software license or purchase software codes. In case of our Macrobank, your payment for setup for SaaS will be deducted from the price of a software license or software codes.
