ABOUT MONUMENT TECHNOLOGY LTD
In building its core UK banking business, Monument has developed an open, scalable, cloud native and world-leading banking technology platform, the third pillar of the Banks’ strategy, which has allowed it to make significant inroads fast into the asset-rich, time-poor, and under-served mass-affluent market. The platform was designed from the start to be modular, flexible and extendable into other banking products and channels which also makes it easy to power other banks and to travel globally.
Monument has received significant inbound interest from local and legacy players worldwide to licence its technology on a “Software-as-a-Service” (SaaS) basis and has established a Subsidiary business, Monument Technology Limited (“TechCo”) to take advantage of the opportunity and to unlock the value in our platform through licencing and partnerships around the world.
Monument Technology provides everything needed to build and run a bank with an open, configurable, end-to-end, banking platform as a service which uses best-in-class components to empower small and medium-sized banks around the world to thrive in the digital age. Our plug-and-play model eliminates the risk and complexity of legacy software, enabling our clients to rapidly deploy, scale and innovate at a fraction of the cost. From front end mobile apps, through core banking and CRM to the general ledger and a data lake, the platform can be consumed in whole (“bank in a box”) or in part as required.
Our technology stack has gained positive attention from multiple players globally and over the past 12 months we have engaged and continue to engage in meaningful discussions and over the coming months, we will prioritise empowering business in the UK and Neo Banks globally to revitalise their existing technology stacks and to develop innovative new platforms.
Our dynamic integration frame and architecture allows the platform to scale globally with many components adaptable to other geographies.
