Financial products & Digitalisation

The only constant is change.

Digitising traditional banking products is a key step towards modernising the financial sector and strengthening financial inclusion. Our goal is to empower people to use complex financial products and benefit from the advantages of digital transformation.

Paydentity

Credit-financed goods for commerce. Mobile & digital.

Paydentity enables our customers to conclude loans for financing goods digitally and locally. A registered user has the opportunity to purchase credit-financed products from any merchant offering Paydentity. No need to wait, just by using your mobile phone. Just scan the QR code, check out and take the product along.

Advantages

How financing works

In cooperation with the BO1 partners, Paydentity handles the legitimation and creditworthiness check completely digitally. The identification required before any loan financing can thus be simplified and carried out more quickly.

Kredit und Bonität

Loan and Credit Rating

During registration, our partner Solarisbank AG checks the customer’s creditworthiness and, if successful, provides the consumer loan. The credit rating determined by Solarisbank is completed by data from our partner Boniversum and leads to the user’s individual paydentity score.

Kontozugriff

Account access

Thanks to the PSD2 licence by FinTecSystems GmbH, we receive access to the customer’s bank account after the customer’s permission. Via the Open-Banking-Interface, risks can be assessed more precisely under high security standards and all income and expenditure can be analysed on a daily basis.

Identitätsnachweis

Proof of identity

At each checkout, the identity must be confirmed with the KYC process. In just a few minutes, the AMLA-compliant identity check is completed using VideoIdent from IDnow. The process is fully integrated into the checkout process – there is no need to leave the application.

Real-time simulation

Check your credit rating in advance.

Paydentity offers a non-binding credit check before the completion of an instalment purchase. Based on a requested amount, it can be checked whether and at what conditions a credit agreement is possible. The customer receives the result immediately.

In this way, if the customer is interested in a particular product, it can be determined whether the planned instalment purchase is within the customer’s financial capabilities.

How do the goods get into the Paydentity system?

With the web tool developed by BO1, traders can decide which products should be offered via credit financing. The system also generates sales statistics, is easy to use and provides the interface between the merchant and the customer.

For a new transaction, a QR code is generated with which the customer can start a credit process directly in his Paydentity app.

Overview of the functions

How does the transaction work?

All products that have been registered with the BO1 merchant portal can be financed immediately.

Briefly explained

KYC means “Know your costumer” and is a procedure for identifying people. As a credit intermediary, we are required by law to identify our clients before entering into business transactions. We use the VideoIdent procedure from IDnow for this process.

In order to promote innovation and competition, uniform standards for electronic payment transactions (PSD2) have come into law in the EU. The financial institutions were obliged to provide interfaces (API) to enable third-party providers to access customer data.

The exchange of data, which takes place under high security standards, is generally referred to as Open Banking and only takes place if the customer has given his explicit consent.

Paydentity is a combination of the terms payment and identity. The term is intended to express the user’s financial identity, especially in the context of advancing digitalization.

Hybrid bank accounts

Your money deserves more.

The BO1 account is a simple, all-digital bank account that is currently in development. As a first or second account, it’s perfect for finally earning interest on your money again. We are planning a pre-onboarding later this year – with benefits for everyone who registers in advance. It could be around the end of the year, so be sure to keep checking back.

Blockchain-based creditworthiness

Determine individual score values only with relevant data.

Maqnet is a tool under development for the automatic real-time rating of users, products and services. Maqnet functions both as an applicative solution and as a systemically integrative API interface.

Advantages

What does Maqnet offer?

Create a profile

Users create a profile and fill it with all relevant data. This data provided by the user is combined with already existing scoring data and the user’s credit rating is calculated automatically and in real time. Simultaneously, providers of a service or product define the parameters that are necessary and obligatory for them to fulfil the service.

Comparison
The user’s scoring data is compared with the provider’s fixed parameters and shows in real time whether and how a user has a sufficient credit rating for the service or offer of the provider.
Traffic light system
The result is displayed to the user as a traffic light system. Maqnet only passes on the user’s scoring result to the provider if it is positive. If the request is rejected, solely the user is informed, not the provider.

Custody is a secure storage solution for crypto/digital assets and is used to store large amounts of tokens. Its main objective is to ensure the availability of private keys and the necessary information to recover them in order to access the specific assets.
