Contracts

Any agreement between a bank or a financial institution and a customer regarding the usage of a banking product is documented legally with a contract.

FintechOS Core Banking allows financial institutions to create banking product agreements (contracts) for their customers based on approvals. This is how Core Banking indicates the selling of a banking product, recording a contract to reflect the product and negotiated details within the origination process.

Contract Implementation Notes

  • The contract approval is made according to the specifications of the financial institution set during the implementation process.

  • The integration is done according to the financial institution's requirements.

  • The contract should be approved only after the advance is paid. This should be applicable for loan contracts with a stipulated advance amount or percent to be paid on the first disbursement day (for merchant loans), in order to avoid having to close newly created contracts if the process of collecting the advance and potential fees fails.
