Banking as a Service (BaaS)

In Banking & Capital Markets

Based on decades of banking and FinTech experience and powered by a team of over 4,000 dedicated industry and technology professionals, EY BaaS solutions are designed to align with your bank’s needs while alleviating such burdens as regulatory response, risk identification and management.


Transforming BaaS risk and compliance challenges into operational success

In the rapidly evolving Banking as a Service (BaaS) landscape, regional and community banks are strategically positioned to make a significant leap forward. Leveraging existing infrastructure and deep industry knowledge, these banks are forging invaluable partnerships with FinTech companies to diversify and grow their businesses. The result? Innovative, seamless digital finance services and products offered to a wider customer base.



The rise of FinTech has transformed the financial services industry, presenting both opportunities and challenges for traditional banking institutions. By creating a BaaS platform, traditional banks open up application programming interfaces (APIs) for FinTechs and other non-bank companies to develop new financial products and white-label banking services that appeal to consumers. The EY team is committed to helping you strike the right balance between innovation and compliance so that your bank can capitalize on the benefits of FinTech partnerships while safeguarding your operations.

Overcoming challenges and creating value with BaaS

The EY approach sets the stage for long-term success by addressing the immediate challenges that BaaS providers face regarding compliance, AML, data, risk management and governance.

The future of financial services lies in collaboration between banks and FinTechs. Together, we can navigate the complexities of BaaS, promoting resilience and competitive strength for your bank. With the EY team by your side, you can transform your risk management capabilities, unlock the full potential of your FinTech partnerships and build a sustainable, innovative banking model that meets the demands of today’s consumers while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.

As community and regional banks seek to leverage advanced technologies and services, they must also contend with heightened regulatory scrutiny and the need for robust risk management frameworks.
