Company mission
To simplify the complexity of banking infrastructure and compliance operations, so their customers can focus on what they really care about.
Our take
Griffin is working to change the banking world, which they see as exclusive, opaque, and not particularly technology-friendly. Their aim is to lower barriers to entry for fintechs and increase transparency.
To achieve this, they are designing a wholesale bank from the ground up, focusing on the problems their customers face and following steps to solve them.
Griffin is taking a novel approach, offering a bank-as-a-platform model with integrated compliance to allow customers to get their financial products to market quickly and cost-effectively.
Their systems have the capability to move faster than existing banks burdened by legacy tech and provide new opportunities to financial technology firms over a wide range of business models.
