Case Study: BKN301 Group achieves rapid, scalable BaaS and payments launches with Finastra Essence (Finastra)

BKN301 Group achieves a rapid time to market for its BaaS and payment white-label solutions with Finastra Essence

BKN301 Group is a London‑based Banking-as-a-Service provider (founded 2021, 100+ employees) offering white‑label account management and payment services to fintechs, digital banks and traditional banks across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Facing a fast‑evolving market and an in‑house core that couldn’t support its growth ambitions, BKN301 needed a secure, scalable core banking platform—so it chose the Finastra Essence cloud‑based core.

By building the BKN301 BaaS Orchestrator on Finastra Essence, BKN301 gained a cloud-native, API‑first core that integrates with its BaaS ecosystem and supports diverse regulatory environments. With Finastra’s support they deployed, configured, tested and went live in less than six months, accelerating time‑to‑market, enabling tailored banking products for small and mid‑sized institutions, and securing early commercial traction with 8+ leading bank and fintech customers.
