Let's discuss how we can help with your banking product launch

Design your retail banking solution with productivity in mind

Convenient back office

In-product CRM

Commission fees & limits

Flexible pricing plans

Ensure team efficiency

SDK.finance consumer banking platform’s back-office caters for team agility. It features an uncluttered UI, a convenient dashboard with analytics data on all business areas, system management, and the capability to automate certain tasks (e.g. reconciliations).
This enables every team member of the retail banking software to shift their focus from routine operations to important business or customer service tasks, boosting their efficiency. This will reflect on the overall client management and revenue growth.

Understand & retain your customers

Our retail banking software allows collecting useful info about the users’ activity within the system, which helps improve the customer service and allows to promptly satisfy the customers’ needs, driving increased loyalty and gross profit.

Maximize your revenue

Use flexible transaction fees and limits configuration to monetize each customer segment and reach the balance between providing value and growing your business profit.

Use case example
Here’s how you can leverage custom fees and limits for money transfers to increase your gross profit:
For transfers up to $1,000, you can set a 2% fee
For sums in the $1,000 – $2,000 range, you can offer a 2%+$5 fee.
For larger sums, a fee can make 3% from the transaction amount or a flat fee of $55+.

In this case, you can use pre-configured limits based on the type of operation and period, to ensure that the pricing plan is beneficial not only for the end-users, but also for your business.

Acquire new customers

Attract and retain customers via personalized pricing plans. Acquire new client segments by setting up appealing tariffs for the target audience, and profit from other operations’ fees plus an increased LTV.
Use case example
Here’s how you can use a custom pricing plan to attract new customers to your neobank – immigrants who send an average of $1,000 per month to their families:

Instead of a 2% regular money transfer fee that makes $20 per $1000 transfer,
you can offer them a $5-worth monthly subscription for transfers up to $1,000 total.
So, your customers will benefit from a 75% ($15) discount from the regular P2P transfer fee ($20 per month), which will motivate them to choose your neobank.
You benefit from monetizing other financial operations the newly acquired users perform in your bank.
