Episode Six’s strategy of development

Episode Six is a payment technology firm that offers customers and clients the possibility to design and bring digital payment propositions to market in a fast and secure way. The company specialises in digital wallets, credit, issuer processing, deposits, loyalty rewards, as well as savings and account management tools. Its platform was created to transfer multiple kinds of products, such as fiat currency, cryptocurrencies, gold, or brand value points. 

In March 2023, the company partnered with US-based First Fidelity Bank in order to launch a new Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) solution. 

This product was designed for a new generation of embedded financial solutions companies and businesses, and the first to employ it was Unifimoney, a multi-asset digital wealth management platform that enables community banks and credit unions to provide investment tools to their clients through online banking. 

According to the official press release published at the time, there were around 100 sponsor banks that offered BaaS-type solutions, in addition to a large number of intermediary platforms that were designed to act as a link between the client companies and banks. 

The new BaaS service was built to support embedded finance at a low cost, providing customers with its quick-to-deploy architecture, as well as real-time payment services, including OCT and RTP. Other features incorporated in the solutions were the digital KYC/AML/IDV and fraud detection and management system, card issuing and processing offerings, and controls including Astra Finance, Prove, and Sardine.
