Australia-based API platform Basiq has recently launched a partnerships programme aimed at bolstering customer capabilities and improving overall value, according to Australian Fintech. The programme will foster collaborations with a select group of Open Banking-enabled integration partners, as well as development and community partners, catering to the needs of fintechs, financial institutions, and lending providers.

Many organisations that rely on customer financial data for delivering products or services often encounter challenges in accessing data from diverse sources and ensuring its suitability for their purposes. This process can be cumbersome and technically intricate, particularly in the context of Open Banking. The introduction of Basiq's partnership programme seeks to alleviate this burden for businesses, saving them precious time, money, and reducing stress.

The Head of Accounts and Partnerships at Basiq, expressed enthusiasm while unveiling the flagship integration partners, including Simpology, Moroku, Zeal, Nimo, Authsignal, and Codat. These partners have reportedly demonstrated excellence in lending, collections, fraud operations, and financial management, both for businesses and individuals. ‘We recognise that businesses rely on multiple cloud-based platforms and data points to automate decisions, manage processes, and enhance customer conversion.

Our primary goal is to provide a frictionless experience so they can focus on their core expertise – growing their business,’ said the company executive. She emphasised that Basiq's commitment lies in supporting the end-to-end experience of customers. By granting access to a range of reputable partners specialising in various areas, from loan origination to customer authentication, Basiq strives to offer a better solution.

All Integration Partners have been certified as Consumer Data Right (CDR) compliant Outsourced Service Providers (OSPs) through Basiq, signifying a milestone for the advancement of Open Banking in Australia. This move provides businesses access to specialised, CDR-enabled service providers, broadening the scope of new use cases that can promote and expedite the adoption of Open Banking. The launch of Basiq's partnership programme is expected to have a profound impact on the maturation of Open Banking.

By simplifying the integration process and collaborating with CDR-compliant partners, Basiq aims to unlock a plethora of possibilities, encouraging the uptake of Open Banking and driving innovation in the financial industry. In conclusion, Basiq's innovative partnerships programme represents a significant stride towards facilitating Open Banking adoption and empowering businesses with improved access to reliable data sources and specialised services. As the financial landscape evolves, this initiative is poised to revolutionise the way businesses operate and interact with their customers, ultimately fostering growth and efficiency in the financial sector.
