Who makes the SPB work? Central Bank, Traditional Banks, and Fintechs
The efficient functioning of the SPB depends on integrated collaboration between the Central Bank, traditional banks, and fintechs. While the Central Bank structures and regulates the system, traditional banks execute most of the financial transactions with their consolidated infrastructure, and fintechs bring innovation, agility, and new solutions. Interoperability between these institutions is ensured through common infrastructures, such as Pix and Open Finance, for example, which enable communication and integration between different financial systems and services. This collaboration is essential to balance innovation with the security and stability of the system. The coexistence of these actors generates a positive dynamic, where the experience and robustness of traditional banks complement the agility and innovation of fintechs, all under the supervision and firm regulation of the Central Bank. However, this ecosystem also faces challenges, such as the constant need to adapt to cyber threats, regulatory updates to keep pace with rapid technological evolution, and the balance between financial inclusion and risk mitigation.
