Unified Financial Operating System for Banks

Powering the Future of Digital Banking

We’re here to close the gap between legacy banking systems and today’s digital demands. Whether you’re launching a digital-first product or expanding existing services, UNIFOS gives you the tools to deliver seamless retail banking: a digital bank in your own brand, or UNIFOS Super SDK modules inside the app you already have.

UNIFOS is a Banking as a Service (BaaS) platform designed to help banks and fintechs deliver full-scale digital banking: secure, compliant and feature-rich products and services, launched faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Microfinance banks and fintechs launch a complete Standalone App in their own brand, on BALANCE core banking. Commercial banks add Super SDK modules to the app they already run, connected to their own core. Either way, every product is plug and play, live in weeks on a revenue share, and run from one Partner portal.

Two Ways to Launch, One Engine Underneath

Pick the way that fits your bank. Both run on the same platform, the same products and the same Partner portal.

Your own bank, in your brand

Mobile app and online banking in your name, with BALANCE core banking underneath. Front end and back end arrive together.

Super SDK · Commercial banks

Our modules, inside your app

One integration inside the app your customers already use. You place the entry points. A tap opens the module, and one tap brings the customer back to your app.

  • Your login, your brand, your home screen
  • Pick the modules, go live fast
  • IMS, our Institution Management System on your premises, connects your core
  • New accounts on your core or BALANCE

One Family of Products

Each product does one job well. Switch on the ones you need. ScanPay lets customers pay any merchant by QR, and Guida, your in-app assistant, answers questions on your products and manages support tickets through to resolution.

Why UNIFOS?

UNIFOS enables banks and fintechs to offer a full spectrum of retail products and services with a better customer experience, more cross-selling and leaner operations that cut costs. Commercial banks add the UNIFOS Super SDK to the app they already have, without building a front end. Microfinance banks and fintechs launch a complete app in their own brand.

001

Super SDK Offering

Our plug-and-play Super SDK integrates easily into the mobile apps of commercial banks. It delivers a wide variety of use cases without the bank building them from scratch.

002

Standalone App

Microfinance banks and fintechs get a complete mobile app and online banking in their own brand. Front end and back end arrive together, on BALANCE core banking.

003

Your Brand

Customers see your name, logo, colours and font, in light and dark modes. You set them on the Partner portal with a live preview, and a second approver publishes them.

004

Your Core

Super SDK banks keep their own core. IMS, our Institution Management System, sits on premises in the bank’s own environment, posts payments and loans on its books and scores customers on its own data.

005

Superior Customer Experience

Our suite covers digital banking, card issuing, merchant acquiring and digital lending, supported by digital KYC, a soft token for two-factor authentication, loyalty management and the Guida in-app assistant. Together they drive scalable growth, operational efficiency and a superior customer experience.

006

Market Firsts

The Universal card: one physical card that links to any Instacard the bank issues. The patented DTS: credit on the debit cards customers already carry. A soft token customers set up alone, with 30-second codes that work offline. ScanPay: merchants collect payments without a POS, from any Instacard or account issued and managed on UNIFOS, and from cards issued by non-partner banks.

007

Regulatory Compliance

Customer data and payment rails stay in your country. Every digital payment needs the PIN first and the Verifyed soft token second, and Sonar checks every payment for fraud, risk and AML.

008

Revenue Share Model

Our partnership goes beyond technology. It is about growing revenue for our partners. Our revenue share model ensures:
  • Low initial investment.
  • Revenue tied to the success of the partner.
  • End-to-end business and process enablement.
