COVID-19 pandemic has been the year for digital service providers because brick and mortar businesses have gone deep into the ground because of the COVID-19 induced lockdowns. This factor has blown a critical hit to the country’s economy as well but any business that runs digitally has been afloat this whole time and Alkami Technologies has been one of those companies.
Since the lockdown began, every financial institution, bank and credit unions need an effective and secure digital platform to offer its services. Alkami has been providing this secure platform to financial companies. As mentioned in a report by Reuters, small banks and banking companies do not have the resources to set up an internal digital platform to offer their services. Thus, they turn their heads towards third-party companies such as Alkami to provide them with digital solutions.
