Banks and Fintechs – behind the scenes

Ever had a word that makes you stop and think every time you hear it? Ours is ‘innovation’. This is what we do and what we want to integrate in all our services in the upcoming years.

We partnered with Bizz Magazine for their 5-day business event, where each day had a special focus. We joined on Day 2 when ‘innovation’ was the rule of the day. We were there as the only bank courageous enough to talk innovation alongside other tech companies.

Our charismatic Olga Gulkova, SVP Lean and Innovation, grabbed the attention together with Sergiu Negut, the co-founder of our keen partners FintechOS. Together, they presented on the topic of integrating innovative features into the banking system – basically what our cooperation is all about.

They talked about the relationship between banks and fintechs, how TBI Bank was the first bank on the market to launch an e-commerce platform using video identification and electronic signature to give customers the chance to shop and pay in just 10-15 minutes without any visit to the bank, 24 hours a day.

Olga and Sergiu discussed intricate behind-the-scene processes that people don’t see; how ideas are materialized into final products only to give customers the service they that would ease purchasing; how these ideas and adapt and improve nowadays lifestyle. It’s not easy, but it’s the challenge TBI Bank and its partners have set.

The event brought together banks, fintechs, software companies, as well as inventors. It was a stimulating bet, a winning one even, as it often happens when innovation diggers share the floor.
