About Our Platform... for business leaders 💼

Fintech teams want speed, control, and trust. Legend Bank delivers all three with a bank‑owned, API‑driven platform that functions as the bank’s core for fintech programs. We provide real‑time data, centralized payments, segregated program environments, and direct contracting with the bank—no middleman. The result: lower risk, better economics, and faster go‑to‑market.

What Makes Legend Bank Different

• Bank‑Owned & Bank‑Controlled
  Customer accounts are held on a bank‑controlled ledger with settlement to our FFIEC‑compliant core. There are no external ledgers to reconcile and no third‑party data transfers required for the bank to access customers, accounts, or transactions. That means less operational risk and clearer compliance.
• Direct Bank–Fintech Contracting
  Work directly with Legend Bank—not through an intermediary. You get clear governance, shared visibility, and simpler economics from day one.
• No Middleman, Better Economics
  Because there’s no platform middleman, Legend Bank and the fintech share economics directly, with flexibility on revenue, interest, and fee splits that align to your program strategy.
• Real‑Time Data Access
  Access real‑time and intra‑day data for both end‑user accounts and fintech operating accounts. Build experiences that update instantly rather than waiting for batch files.

Built for Control, Scale, and Resiliency

• Fully Defined Funds Flow
  From end‑user accounts to bank operating accounts, funds flow is documented and bank‑controlled. Automated settlement operations calculate partner revenue, interest, and fees and post them into segregated program operating accounts, so no money gets lost.
• Program‑Level Segregation
  Every program is segmented—customers, accounts, operating accounts, APIs, data, and access—so each partner only sees their own environment.
• Configurable by Program
  Products, features, rates, and fees can be configured for each program, enabling rapid, compliant iteration without re‑engineering your entire stack.
• Resiliency with Access to Funds
  Built‑in deposit resiliency and a documented contingency plan enable the bank to provide customer access to funds in DR scenarios.
• Scale Across Multiple Banks
  As you grow, you can disperse deposits across additional banks using the same platform capabilities to support business continuity and resiliency—without new integrations.

Centralized Payments—One Console, One Version of Truth

• Unified Payments Hub
  A centralized payments platform supports ACH, wire, FedNow® instant payments, and debit card issuance/processing. View all payment activity across all programs in one place for security, reporting, and compliance.
• Two Ways to Move Money
  Use rail‑specific APIs (ACH, wire, instant) or a Universal API with smart routing to simplify orchestration.
• Bank‑Defined Rules & Decisioning
  Payments are bank‑controlled with bank‑defined rules and decisioning to help manage risk while preserving customer experience.

One Console for Bank & Fintech Teams

• Centralized Console Access
  Both bank and fintech teams get role‑based access to a shared console—a single source of truth for customers, accounts, money movement, and servicing.
• Self‑Service Tools
  Self‑service features streamline operations and reduce manual activity, spanning applications, account servicing, statements, transaction history, payments, operating accounts, case management, event logs, and webhooks.
• Integration Support
  You also get an enterprise API portal, sandbox, Postman collections, and direct integration support calls when you need them.
