With increasing levels of interest and commitment, financial institutions are finding value in adopting innovative solutions and business models formed in partnerships with FinTech players. COCC has a history of executing integration projects resulting in approximately 200 system integrations today. COCC’s industry-leading, modern suite of APIs is made available to any third party engaged by our client to develop integration with their core banking solution. FinTech integrations are achieved through COCC’s mature integration framework, enabling third party solution providers to build seamless integration with secure access to core. These APIs were designed to reduce development costs and increase speed to market. Beyond APIs, the core banking platform itself can be customized to meet unique needs as defined by a specific financial institution. Over the past several years, integrations have occurred in the spaces of digital lending, cloud computing development environments, mobile banking apps, digital deposit account opening, voice banking, web banking, and more. COCC has interfaces with over 35 third party platforms handling mobile banking, web banking, and related functions and 25 third party solutions for loan origination. A few examples of recent FinTech integrations are as follows:
- The sole partner bank behind a very unique national digital business banking solution. This FinTech firm offers small business owners a better business banking experience through their checking account and debit card solutions that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help businesses better understand their finances.

As the fastest way to integrate new software, they provide a universal adapter that plugs into banking systems, allowing the institution to securely and easily connect with Fintech applications.
