Following the acquisition of Laurel Road, a digital consumer lending business, KeyBank launched an initiative to build a national digital bank focused on doctors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals looking to refinance student loans and buy homes. The initiative is viewed as a growth engine for KeyBank, which is already among the nation’s largest bank-based financial services companies, with assets of approximately $170.5 billion.
Confluent’s platform for data in motion is helping to fuel the national digital bank initiative and the wider digital transformation underway at KeyBank. A major motivation for this transformation was reducing time to market for new products by democratizing data and decoupling systems across the IT landscape.
