  • Publication number: 20250265618
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method enable secure connectivity between the computer systems of a financial institution and software for Brand On Banking. Embodiments of the system include an Identity Platform, Know Your Customer (KYC) processes including ID card verification, face verification, document verification such as utility bills as proof of address, and biometric verification, and bank servicing features such as checking, savings, debit, payments, loans, and bill-pay. The secure connectivity is established in various embodiments through private or public Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) over a network service provider, thus eliminating third-party risk for the financial institution. Additionally, the system allows for displaying alternate brands and identifying customers associated with a specific product brand other than the financial institution. The mobile interface is user-friendly and consolidates all financial accounts in one location, reducing customer friction.
