Definition ∞ White-label banking allows a company to offer financial services under its own brand using another bank’s infrastructure and regulatory licenses. This model enables non-bank entities to provide services like accounts, payments, and lending without obtaining a full banking charter themselves. The underlying banking operations, regulatory compliance, and technological backbone are provided by a licensed financial institution. It facilitates rapid entry into the financial services market for various businesses, including those in the digital asset space.
Context ∞ White-label banking is increasingly prevalent as fintech companies and digital asset platforms seek to integrate traditional financial services into their offerings. Discussions center on the regulatory responsibilities of both the white-label provider and the underlying bank, particularly concerning customer protection and anti-money laundering. A critical debate involves ensuring adequate oversight of these partnerships to prevent regulatory arbitrage. Future developments anticipate further growth in this model, bridging the gap between innovative digital services and established financial infrastructure.
