The vendor said that its cloud platform offered the digital lender pre-configured country-specific functionality. The capability enables the bank to deploy a full online banking system quickly, Temenos said.

Volt Bank received its licence approval in January 2019 by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). This gave it a head start over challenger rivals Xinja and 86 400.

However, 86 400 has secured a banking licence APRA. It granted the digital lender permission to operate as an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) in the country.

In a statement, the regulator said that 86 400 was granted the licence under the Banking Act 1959.

The approval from APRA will enable the 86 400 to initially offer savings accounts, transaction accounts and home loans.
