SCOTIABANK
As Matthew puts it : “ We prioritise resiliency , safety and soundness , ensuring that when clients place their trust in Scotiabank for their transactions , they can have confidence knowing that nearly 200 years of history stands behind their funds .”
Indeed , in an era where data breaches and financial fraud are increasingly common , Scotiabank ’ s commitment to security provides a compelling value proposition to clients .
Driving innovation through collaboration One of the ways Matthew has helped foster innovation is by making it easier to secure fintech partnerships . By launching a developer portal for APIs , Scotiabank has increased fintech engagement .
Matthew says : “ We created a dedicated partnerships team working with the fintech community , launching a developer portal for APIs that makes it easier for fintechs to engage with us and understand what we offer .
“ We ’ ve accelerated payment capabilities along with various other capabilities we ’ ve made accessible for our clients and partner community .” These partnerships go beyond simple integrations alone . Scotiabank is actively co-developing solutions with fintech partners , aiming to create bespoke value propositions for its clients .
“ We collaborate closely with our partners ,” notes Matthew . “ Our teams come together in the same room to brainstorm and whiteboard , ensuring not only are we integrated , but creating additional value for our clients .”
This collaborative approach allows Scotiabank to offer its clients the best of both worlds : the stability and reach of a traditional bank combined with the innovation and agility of a fintech . It also simplifies the decisionmaking process for clients who might otherwise struggle to navigate the complex fintech landscape on their own . scotiabank . com 11
