The Exchange Connection Hub

The Operating System
for Bank–FinTech
Partnerships.

Banks spend 7–18 months vetting a fintech before going live.
Fintechs spend 18–24 months finding the right bank.
TECH compresses both.

See how TECH closes
the right partnership faster.

A walkthrough of SHIELD, PRISM and CORTEX — how each engine eliminates a specific failure point in the bank–FinTech partnership lifecycle.

The current process is broken
for both sides.

Every bank-fintech partnership that eventually works first endures a process designed to make it fail.

Without TECH
18 months of friction,
cost, and uncertainty.
01
Month 0–3
Cold Outreach
2–5% response rate. Hundreds of emails to LinkedIn contacts you've never met.
02
Month 3–9
Due Diligence
The bank's legal and risk team requests 5 years of legal history, audits, AML programs. Most fintechs aren't ready.
03
Month 9–15
Compliance Gaps Found
40% of deals die here. The bank walks. The fintech starts over with another prospect.
04
Month 15–18
Partnership Fails
Even when it closes, 40% fail to operationalize. $250K–$500K burned per failed deal.
18 months. $400K+ burned. 40% failure rate.
With TECH
6 weeks from first match
to active partnership.
01
Day 1–2
SHIELD™ Verifies You
KYB, sanctions, PEP, adverse media — completed before your profile goes live. Banks see a Trust Score, not a pitch.
02
Week 1
PRISM™ Finds Your Match
AI fit score 1–10 with written explanation. Only high-signal matches reach your feed. No guesswork.
03
Week 2–4
First Conversation
Both sides already verified. No cold start. Your AI-generated outreach opens the conversation right.
04
Week 4–6 → Ongoing
CORTEX™ Monitors It All
Health scores, predictive alerts, deal pipeline. The relationship never goes cold without you knowing.
6 weeks to active partnership. 95% retention.

Three engines.
One partnership lifecycle.

01
SH
SHIELD™ — Verify
Arrive pre-qualified.
Skip the vetting queue.
Every member completes KYB before their first match. Banks don't start due diligence from zero — you arrive with a published Trust Score, compliance history, and verified identity.
02
PR
PRISM Engine™ — Connect
Find the right partner
before the first email.
Three-layer AI matching — vector similarity, LLM scoring, behavioral feedback — produces a fit score 1–10 with a written explanation. Only high-signal matches reach your feed.
03
CX
CORTEX™ — Retain
Never let a partnership
go silent again.
Real-time health scores, predictive alerts, deal pipeline, and AI advisor. CORTEX monitors every active relationship and surfaces actions before problems become failures.
SHIELD™

Banks spend 6 months
on due diligence.
You spend zero.

↑ Without TECH: 3–6 months of compliance requests before a bank agrees to talk.

Every TECH member arrives with KYB completed, sanctions cleared, Trust Score published, and compliance history verified — before the first introduction. Banks don't start from scratch. Neither do you.

  • KYB identity verification via Persona API — completed pre-launch
  • Dynamic Trust Score (0–100) visible to all potential partners
  • Continuous monitoring: sanctions, PEP, adverse media, business registry

COMPETITIVE POSITION — 2026
While Treasury Prime owns BaaS distribution and Crossbeam owns account mapping, TECH owns the entire partnership lifecycle — from first verified contact to active relationship intelligence. No other platform compresses the 18-month bank–FinTech cycle from both ends simultaneously.

Three engines.
One operating system.

SHIELD verifies. PRISM connects. CORTEX retains.
Each face of the engine solves a specific failure point.

Built for regulators
before it was built
for customers.

TECH was architected around regulatory requirements before the first line of product code was written. For FINRA-registered broker-dealers, SEC-regulated advisers, and FDIC-supervised institutions — compliance is not a feature. It is the prerequisite for adoption.

FINRA RULE 4511
Communication Archiving

Every message is immutably archived with a SHA-256 integrity hash. No edits. No deletions. Full audit trail exportable as FINRA-format PDF.

SEC 206(4)-1
AI Content Labeling

All AI-generated content is flagged with is_ai_generated: true and visually labeled in the UI. AI content is never auto-sent.

CCPA / CPRA
Privacy & Consent

Consent records on onboarding. Data export endpoint. Account deletion endpoint. Consent logs retained for audit. California-compliant by default.

BSA / AML
Identity & Sanctions

KYB verification required for all institutional members before accessing matching. Continuous sanctions, PEP, and adverse media monitoring via Persona API.

GLBA
Financial Data Protection

No financial account numbers stored on platform. Rate limiting on all financial data endpoints. Encryption at rest and in transit. US-East-1 primary data residency.

DORA — EU READY
European Expansion

Incident reporting (4h notification), third-party risk tracking, and resilience testing hooks. Ready for EU market expansion via Velatix AI GmbH's German entity.
