## What is Finhost?

**Finhost** is a white‑label digital banking platform that ships:

* **Customizable front‑end apps** (web & mobile) that connect to your Core via APIs
* A secure **Auth layer** (Cognito) and app‑side session management
* **KYC/KYB** flows integrated with providers (e.g., Sumsub)
* An **Admin Back‑Office** for operations, compliance, and support
* Integrations with **EMIs/PSPs/Custodians** (e.g., OpenPayd, BCB, Fireblocks, Intercash, Kraken) to issue accounts, move money, and manage crypto rails

## How the pieces fit together

1. **Auth & Sessions** → The app authenticates users against Cognito and stores tokens client‑side for secure API calls.
2. **Signup flow** → Users register, confirm, and initialize their profile in Core. Contracts (fees/limits) are accepted as part of onboarding.
3. **KYC/KYB** → The app requests a provider access token and opens the Sumsub Web SDK with your theme configuration. On result callbacks, the app updates user state.
4. **Backoffice** → Admins sign in with 2FA and manage users, accounts, transactions, and cards; compliance can monitor AML and manual review queues.
5. **Reports** → Daily‑computed KPIs with on‑demand refresh for balances, plus onboarding and reconciliation views.
6. **Providers** → Operational calls (IBAN issuing, payments, custody, cards) are routed via configured providers per currency/rail.

<Tip>
  Building a custom app? Start with **Before start**, then **Auth**, then **Sign Up/Sign In**, and finally **KYC**. Operators should begin with **Backoffice › Introduction**, then **Reports** and **Bank management**.
</Tip>
