Tap Global Group plc
("Tap Group" or the "Company")
Tap Global Partners With tell.money to Integrate Open Banking Gateway
A key step in Tap Group's 'Super App' strategy
Tap Global Group plc (AIM: TAP), the innovative digital finance hub that
brings money payments and crypto settlement services together in a single
user-friendly app, is pleased to announce it has entered into a strategic
partnership with tell.money to integrate its open banking gateway into the Tap
Group platform. Open banking is a framework that allows consumers to securely
share financial data with third-party providers through standardised APIs,
with their consent.
tell.money's gateway solution provides the regulatory-compliant infrastructure
required to meet the requirements of the Revised Payment Services Directive
("PSD2"), a critical component for offering users a true payment account
experience for their fiat balances. This integration enhances the Company's
platform architecture, ensuring compliance with the highest standards of open
banking regulation.
This development is a cornerstone of Tap Group's strategy to build a fully
regulated bridge between traditional finance and blockchain technology. By
integrating this advanced open banking architecture, Tap Group can expand its
product offering for its growing base of over 390,000 individual and business
registered users. The new functionality establishes a foundation for a future
suite of advanced financial services, powering a more personalised offering
through seamless connectivity with banks and financial institutions,
strengthening the Company's competitive edge and its commitment to
regulation-first innovation.
Arsen Torosian, Chief Executive Officer of Tap Group, commented:
"This represents a pivotal step in Tap's ambition to become the ultimate
FinTech 'Super App'. We have always focused on doing the hard work first,
building a fully regulated and profitable business. This partnership goes
beyond the integration of a new feature on our platform; we are installing the
foundational banking infrastructure that will unlock a new tier of financial
services for our 390,000+ registered users.
"By integrating tell.money's robust, PSD2-compliant technology, we are
enhancing our regulatory architecture and delivering a top-tier open banking
experience for our customers. This is a fundamental building block that
strengthens our platform and provides the launchpad for future product
innovation, moving us decisively closer to offering a complete, all-in-one
financial solution."
David Monty, Chief Executive Officer of tell.money, commented:
"We are thrilled to partner with Tap Group, a company that is clearly at the
forefront of financial innovation. Tap's regulation-first approach and its
vision for bridging the crypto and fiat worlds make it the ideal partner for
us. Our mission is to make it simple for forward-thinking companies like Tap
Group to meet their regulatory obligations and build competitive, secure
products.
"By leveraging our solution, Tap is demonstrating a clear commitment to
compliance and innovation. We are proud to welcome them into the open banking
ecosystem and look forward to supporting their growth as they continue to
build the next generation of financial services."
