The proposition is as simple as it is profitable: the Norwegian fintech company offers banks and other financial services providers a turnkey white-label mobile payment platform that can be implemented almost instantaneously at minimal cost. The cloud-based platform offers those implementing it a competitive edge with a clear potential to increase market share.
Don’t take Auka’s word for it either: the company’s tried and trusted technology stack has already been deployed by 17 banks and over 4,500 merchants to excellent results. Auka’s mobile payment platform is used by more banks in Scandinavia than any other.
Auka provides the integrated backbone, the apps, and – crucially – the knowhow. Clients, in turn, are left to do what they do best: conduct their business and enjoy technology that adds value instead of complexity. Auka’s stack is entirely built on the Google Cloud Platform. The Norwegian firm is the only one to offer a fully-regulated and compliant cloud-based financial solution using Google’s state-of-the-art cloud platform. The US tech giant actively supports Auka’s use of its technology and works in tandem with the firm to ensure performance excellence.
The CFI.co judging panel recognises Auka as a true fintech pioneer, driving innovation and simplifying life for both service providers and their clients. The judges declare Auka winner of the 2017 Best Mobile Payment Platform Europe Award.
