但是，在短期内，“我们正在使用令牌来调查有趣的市场机会，这使我们登上了驾驶席位，并为我们准备PSD2的制定做好了准备。”

The partnership with Token also falls in line with OP’s new way of working with start-ups in general, says Kristian Luoma, head of OP Lab, the banking group’s programme that works with fintech start-ups.

与Fintech初创公司合作的Banking Group计划负责人Kristian Luoma说，与Token的合作关系还与OP与一般初创公司合作的新方式一致。

“We are looking for interesting use cases that we can build together quickly. We prefer to test and learn in small increments with promising start-ups in order to innovate faster,” Luoma explains.

Luoma解释说：“我们正在寻找可以快速共同建立的有趣用例。我们更喜欢用有希望的初创企业进行少量增量测试和学习，以便更快地进行创新。”

“Working with Token allows us to deliver better experiences to our customers faster than we could ourselves.”

“使用令牌可以使我们能够比自己更快地为客户提供更好的体验。”
