Neobank startup Bambu has selected FIS’s core banking platform to launch mobile-only banking services for unbanked Americans.

Through its mobile banking application, the banking startup aims to launch banking services for underbanked Hispanic and other segments of populations who currently lack access to traditional financial services.

The app offers FDIC-insured prepaid accounts, domestic and international bill payments and remittances, peer-to-peer transfers, check deposits, retail cash loading and other services.

FIS banking and merchant solutions president Bruce Lowthers said: “Our Modern Banking Platform is being chosen by the largest financial institutions as well as new startups to drive their digital banking business, demonstrating the tremendous power and flexibility of the new platform.”

Bambu needed a component-based core banking platform as it prepared for the launch to serve its consumer group and support its business needs.

FIS claims that its platform’s cloud-native, the modular architecture will enable Bambu to launch new products to market quickly while supporting future growth.
