OVERVIEW

OmniWire, Inc. is seeking $10 million of equity to grow its innovative Banking-as-a-Service that provides next generation, secure cloud-based infrastructure issuer processing to a network of over 1,200 banks and their FinTech clients. 

 

  • Its core banking and card issuing platforms allow FinTech and financial institutions access to Banking-as-a-Service solutions with easy integration and accelerated go-to-market strategies

 

  • Integrated with Shazam, the premier member-owned debit network providing network processing

OPPORTUNITY

  • Most current bank systems do not allow instant settlement of transactions between banks 

 

  • It can take hours and even days to settle a transaction and often requires third party providers to move funds 

 

  • Issuer processors face challenges connecting to multiple banks 

 

  • Many processors and banks are running legacy systems which are not compatible with the feature rich requirements of digital payments 

 

  • They are faced with the challenge of re-building their infrastructure, which significantly increases their costs and time to market

  • Open Banking: Introducing new to market instant payments from any card to any card and any bank account to any bank account

  • Issuer Processing: Next generation secure, cloud-based core banking and issuer processing platforms are agnostic and modular in structure and connected to a network of 1,200 banks 

 

  • Neobank/Card Issuance:  Provide a fully managed Neobank that can issue cards on major card schemes and for any BIN Sponsor 

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

  • Through unique partnerships and relationships, OmniWire provides banks, FinTech and financial institutions access to its fast payment hub giving instant any-card-to-any card and any-bank-account-to-any-bank account settlement that complements open banking solutions  

 

  • OmniWire Issuer processing is connected to a network of 1,200 banks
