A full-service digital bank
Virgin Money is committed to making its 6.5 million retail and business customers ‘happier about money’. The digital bank launched Project Omega in 2020, a program designed to support businesses in new and disruptive ways using data and insights. Discover how Virgin Money is achieving this goal with the creation of M-Track, a hub for business financial management, powered by Codat.
Creating robust integrations on a deadline
Virgin Money’s M-Track solution is designed to help businesses make more informed decisions by pulling together all their data in one handy place, so they can get a better view of their business. Achieving this required Virgin Money to develop extensive connectivity with the many systems businesses use, from accounts to HR and eCommerce to social media platforms. To power the capability to allow businesses to do this, Virgin Money chose to work with Codat rather than trying to tackle this challenge alone.
“We knew it would be incredibly difficult to deliver what we wanted within our timescales. So, we decided to work with some best-in-class fintechs like Codat to help us deliver key components of the solution.”
- Chris Johnson, Product Lead at Virgin Money
Data is siloed across many different systems
To drive uptake of M-Track, Virgin Money needed a provider that could integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of its customers' existing platforms.
Achieving depth of coverage is a challenge
Coverage isn’t just about accessing data but accessing the right data. To provide the depth of insight to make M-Track most valuable to businesses, Virgin Money needed a solution to cover many different endpoints & data types.
Building integrations requires expertise and resources
Without the right provider, the depth and breadth of the integrations required threatened to delay the launch of M-Track altogether.
Data connectivity made simple
Virgin Money uses Codat to enable its customers to connect their various applications to M-Track securely so that they can get a holistic view of their financial performance in a matter of minutes.
“We chose Codat because we were really impressed by both the simplicity and their ambition. Being able to connect our customers with so many of their software applications in a simple and standard way is brilliant.”
