Openfinance, BME's fintech subsidiary, SIX, has celebrated its 20th anniversary with the launch of its new service, Openfinance Ecosystem, a marketplace that incorporates the best wealthtech solutions in the market, fully integrated with Openfinance products. It is an open ecosystem that, together with other wealthtech companies, offers its clients the opportunity to take advantage of the wave of innovation in the wealth management sector.
Through Openfinance Ecosystem, financial institutions will benefit from simple and instant access to an entire ecosystem, which brings them countless advantages such as reduced integration costs and operational risks. The solution’s partners are Clarity, Fexer, Finveris, Flanks, Inveert, Neuroprofiler, Pibisi, Serfiex and Talento Mobile.
Conceived as an open innovation platform, Openfinance Ecosystem seeks to unify the entire wealthtech offering from a single user experience, bringing it together under different layers, such as ESG, account aggregation, business intelligence, customer prospecting and registration, signature solutions, portfolio optimisation, investment algorithms, financial planning and behavioural finance.
This offering will be constantly complemented by the most disruptive companies that are part of the Open Wealth Challenge programme, promoted jointly with F10, the world's leading fintech accelerator. Through this initiative, the best projects in the programme will be accompanied in their integration, co-creation and subsequent commercialisation processes.
This new service was presented yesterday to the financial and fintech community at an event held at La Marina de Valencia, which commemorated the company's 20th anniversary. The event was opened by Jorge Yzaguirre, Deputy Head of Securities Services at SIX, who gave a speech and reviewed Openfinance's business trajectory.
