FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market
12CM partners with Korea’s biggest cloud service provider, Naver
Business Platform, to launch cloud-based FinTech solution, expects change in
the domestic FinTech market landscape
12CM’s Jeong
Gyoun Han, CEO, announced that the smart stamp software platform provider has
recently inked a collaboration deal with Naver Business Platform (NBP). NBP is
a fully independent subsidiary company of Naver Corporation specializing in
cloud IT infrastructure and services (Naver being Korea’s largest search engine
as well as operating LINE, the #1 chat service in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.)
The deal will see the Echoss Stamp developer’s Open API and Finance Microservice
implemented in a FinTech SaaS solution aimed at financial institutions.
Traditionally,
such financial services have required strict security measures making
cloud-based service development difficult. The fact that cloud technology makes
use of a wide variety of frameworks and open source code means that financial
institutions have found adoption of these technologies less than ideal. smart stamp manufacturer
That being
said, NBP is the first cloud operator in the S. Korean domestic market to
receive top marks from the Financial Security Institute for infrastructure
security. 12CM itself will be providing its service security level protocols,
developed and tested over years of R&D and real-world applications, to this
collaborative partnership.
Large
financial institutions already offer a variety of remote services, such as
mobile apps and over-the-phone consultation. However, moving these to the cloud
will allow not only faster implementation of entirely new service channels
(such as mobile web apps) but also alliance service channels enabling
cooperation. The collaboration between 12CM and NBP is slotted to provide a
home in the cloud to accommodate these innovative new services. loyalty card supplier
“The recent
trend of financial institutions moving towards ‘non face-to-face’ services means
that FinTech is in a state of constant innovation. Like financial institutions’
websites, the demand for convenient financial service via diverse cooperation
channels is always increasing. NBP and 12CM are planning to provide a SaaS solution
that emphasizes security and flexibility in financial services to the market as
soon as possible,’’ announced Sang Young Han, director at NBP.
Meanwhile,
12CM CEO Jeong Gyoun Han stated, "For our initial loan service model, the
whole process including security, identification, Open API integration, as well
as certificate submission will be structured as a complete self-contained service.
The SDK itself will also be provided in order for users to customize their own
mobile web pages. For a smooth and successful launch, in addition to our
alliance with NBP, we have also tapped UniFinTech Corp., a consulting company
specialized in mobile commerce and IT."
It is a fact
that there is a global trend of more and more software companies moving onto
the cloud, and while doing so adopting more SaaS or other “as a service”
business models. This Fintech service alliance in the Korean domestic market
marks the next step of mobile evolution in the finance IT industry, and we look
forward to what it may mean for the future of Fintech.
