Upcoming changes are forced by European PSD2 directive that has already been approved by the European Parliament. So-called Open Banking movement in Europe will increase competition from IT-based solutions and will facilitate the growth of digital banking applications and user proficiency.
ORCA Alliance already made a showcase of instant crypto to fiat withdrawal, the transfer from a cryptocurrency exchange straight to user’s bank account was completed under 6 seconds during a livestreamed event this June.
“The whole banking sector is being disrupted […] A couple of years ago it had been inconceivable to think that a startup can enter the closed market of retail and investment banking and take over a part of its market share,” said ORCA representative.
ORCA’s platform will enable integration of multiple bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets, and exchanges into a single app of a device screen and will allow users to make transfers, payments, and deposits into and between connected accounts without ever leaving the application.
