Plaza

Your app, their gathering place.

The super-app layer that turns your banking or lifestyle app into a destination — social commerce, community, loyalty, and content inside the same trusted shell customers already opened for a balance check. Retention that compounds. Engagement that earns itself.

01 — Capabilities

Four destination layers that turn a utility app into a place customers choose to stay.

01 / COMMERCE

Social commerce

Merchant catalogs, checkout, group buying, and promotions native to the host app. Payment flows use the same Sentinel-hardened session as the core banking transaction.

  • Merchant catalog
  • Checkout & payment
  • Group & flash buys
  • Affiliate attribution
02 / COMMUNITY

Feed & content

A moderated, identity-bound social layer where customers follow merchants, share purchases, and discover content — without the toxicity of the open web.

  • Curated feed
  • Creator tools
  • Moderation
  • Identity-bound posts
03 / LOYALTY

Rewards & stickiness

Points, tiers, offers, and gamification built natively into the host app — not bolted on from a separate loyalty vendor with a separate password and a separate data silo.

  • Points & tiers
  • Offer targeting
  • Referral mechanics
  • Partner redemption
04 / LIFESTYLE

Events & experiences

Local events, partner deals, lifestyle content, and sponsored experiences — all inside the app the customer already trusts with their money.

  • Local events
  • Partner marketplace
  • Experience bookings
  • Curated editorial
02 — How it works

A super-app layer that ships as an SDK — not as a separate app customers have to download.

01
Embedded SDKNative · iOS & Android
Plaza ships as a native SDK embedded inside your existing banking or lifestyle app. No second app to download, no second password to remember, no second identity to manage.
Integrate
02
Merchant & content onboardingCuration · Managed
Merchants, creators, and partners are onboarded through a managed curation layer — not a self-serve flood. You decide the tone, the vertical mix, and the quality bar of the destination you're building.
Curate
03
Identity-bound participationTrust Platform · Verified
Every post, purchase, and referral is bound to a verified platform identity. No anonymous spam, no sock puppets, no bot commerce. The community is as real as the banking relationship that underpins it.
Trust
04
Transactional engineSentinel-secured · Reach-measured
Checkout uses Sentinel's hardened session integrity. Every commerce and loyalty event feeds back to Reach's journey engine for retargeting, abandonment recovery, and attribution.
Transact
05
Revenue shareEconomics · Transparent
Merchant commissions, loyalty sponsor fees, and sponsored placement all settle through the host institution's ledger — turning the mobile app from a cost center into a revenue line.
Monetize
03 — Use cases

Where Plaza earns its keep.

Regional banking

From transactional utility to regional destination

Regional development banks whose apps are currently single-use — balance, transfer, bill-pay — and whose customers close the app within ninety seconds of opening it.

Session duration and daily active use improve meaningfully, and merchant revenue becomes a real contribution to the app's P&L.
Consumer banking

Lifestyle & community without the acquisition cost

National banks watching super-app competitors (Gojek, Grab, ShopeePay) capture wallet share through community and commerce features the bank's own app doesn't offer.

The host bank becomes the destination instead of losing ground to it — with lower CAC because the customer is already there.
Lifestyle apps

Monetizable community, trustworthy by default

Lifestyle, wellness, and affinity apps that need commerce, community, and content — but without the content-moderation nightmare of an open social network.

Identity-bound community with built-in commerce, launched in weeks on infrastructure that's already regulator-ready.
04 — In the portfolio

Plaza is the destination layer. What turns Trusted Channel into a place, not just a product.

Sentinel
Security · Foundation

Protects every Plaza transaction with the same hardened session that protects the core banking flow.
Enclave
Communications

Powers identity-bound messaging between Plaza participants — merchant to customer, customer to customer.
Reach
Engagement

Receives Plaza's commerce and loyalty signals as journey triggers for retargeting and abandonment recovery.
Plaza
Destination · Stickiness

The commerce, community, loyalty, and lifestyle layer. A utility app's route to becoming a destination.

05 — Where it sits

Plaza addresses an under-served middle ground — enterprise-grade super-app components, not a marketplace platform.

Category
Nexilis Plaza Gojek SDKs Mirakl Salesforce Commerce Cloud Tencent mini-program stack

Super-app and embedded commerce components — category references for context. Most super-app components are kept internal to the parent platform.

What makes Plaza different
Embedded SDK Identity-bound community Sentinel-secured commerce Sovereign hosting

A super-app component layer designed to be licensed by an institution that already has the customers and needs the destination layer.
