  • They diverge on capability: Episode Six covers Tritium API platform, Fintech Farm covers End-to-end neobank stack.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Episode Six

  • Deployment on premise or in a private tenancy means the institution carries infrastructure, upgrade and PCI scope work that a hosted processor would absorb.
  • Implementation runs to quarters and involves core banking, network certification and fraud system integration, so time to first card is far longer than with a self serve issuer processor.
  • Pricing is entirely bespoke and weighted to large programmes, which prices out fintechs and small issuers who would be better served by a hosted platform.
  • Being smaller than the incumbent processors, its network certifications and operational presence vary by region, so a global rollout can find gaps in specific markets.
  • The flexibility of six hundred APIs and a configurable product engine shifts design responsibility onto the buyer, and institutions without strong internal payments architects end up dependent on professional services.

Fintech Farm

  • The performance-based model means a bank is entering an ongoing revenue-sharing relationship rather than buying a one-time or fixed-fee software licence, which changes long-term cost dynamics as the neobank grows.
  • It requires the partner bank to already hold a banking licence and balance sheet, so it is not usable by a company wanting to launch banking services without any existing regulatory status.
  • Focus on emerging markets means less proven track record in developed, heavily regulated markets such as the US or Western Europe.
  • As a smaller, founder-led company relative to Mambu or Temenos, its longevity and ability to support partner banks over a decade-plus relationship carries more vendor-risk uncertainty.
  • Being compensated on customer and revenue growth creates a natural incentive to prioritise growth-driving features over, for example, deep compliance tooling that does not directly move those metrics.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Episode Six: Can Episode Six run inside our own data centre?

Yes. On premise and private cloud deployment is the main reason banks choose it over hosted only processors.

Episode Six: Is it suitable for a startup issuing its first cards?

Not really. The licence, implementation timeline and cost are aimed at banks and large institutions.

Fintech Farm: Does the bank need its own licence?

Yes, Fintech Farm partners with banks that already hold a banking licence and balance sheet; it does not provide the licence itself.

Episode Six: Do we still need a card licence or sponsor?

Yes. Episode Six is a processor. Network membership, licensing or a sponsor arrangement remains your responsibility.

Fintech Farm: Which markets does it focus on?

Emerging markets, including operations across regions such as Vietnam, Nigeria and increasingly India.
