Platform economics for the bank

What we know about platform economics

Traditional banking economics — interest margin + fees. Platform economics adds: BaaS revenue per API call, partnership revenue share, data monetisation via clean rooms, identity bridge fees.

Discipline is needed — without a clear framework all these streams become accounting confusion.

Our expertise:

Per-stream economics. CAC, LTV, margin, scaling characteristics.

BaaS pricing. Per-call vs subscription vs revenue share. Per-partner negotiation.

Data partnerships pricing. Subscription, query-based, custom analytics.

Identity bridge fees. Per-verification, volume-based.

Capital efficiency analysis. Platform business has higher ROIC than traditional banking with proper scaling.

Cross-stream synergies. Platform stream feeds back into core banking (e.g. partner-acquired customers eventually adopt direct products).
