This new service, however, does not imply that Amazon intends to launch its own full-fledged bank; rather, the new service will allow users to pay for online purchases and replenish their accounts without having them connected to a bank card. This will allow Amazon to receive more information about customer transactions and attract customers (especially millennials) who do not want to use bank cards. It will also allow the retailer to save on commissions that, for purchases with other cards, are sent to outside organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Amazon has begun to position itself more and more as an entire ecosystem, including an online store, a Whole Foods product network, gadget production and a delivery service. In January 2018, the company also launched a supermarket without cash registers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-9564 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Video: the \u2018bank as a platform\u2019 approach'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/video-the-bank-as-a-platform-approach\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Bank-as-a-Platform-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-10475\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-10475'>\n\t\t\t\tVideo: the \u2018bank as a platform\u2019 approach\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Video: banking on digital innovation \u2014 APIs'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/video-banking-on-digital-innovation-apis\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Banking-on-Digital-Innovation-APIs-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-8604\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-8604'>\n\t\t\t\tVideo: banking on digital innovation \u2014 APIs\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Forget why FinTech is good;\u200ahere\u2019s why cash is bad'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/forget-why-fintech-is-good-here-s-why-cash-is-bad\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/forget-why-fintech-is-good-here-s-why-cash-is-bad-1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-10951\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-10951'>\n\t\t\t\tForget why FinTech is good;\u200ahere\u2019s why cash is bad\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon, the world\u2019s largest online retailer, has created special accounts as part of a new banking service.
