Our take
Many obstacles in place prevent companies from offering their own financial services. Complex and high-cost processes mean that companies find it difficult to build their own banking systems or even apply for a banking license. This can stunt development as it reduces a company's growth and expansion options.
Solaris offers a Banking-as-a-Service platform that allows companies to seamlessly integrate financial services within their existing operations, removing traditional hurdles that companies would have to face. The company differs from the competition through the use of an API for optimal integration. It also holds a full German banking license, granting it an efficient position to deal with any red tape and complex processes, taking this strain away from companies.
Through moves such as its acquisition of MER, as well as many other collaborations, Solaris has paved the way for increased operations across Europe to now offer significant market coverage. In the long run, the company aims to be the core banking service across Europe and a foundational platform through which all companies integrate financial services into their ecosystem.
