The first phase is the launch of SFF’s new mobile application (available on iOS and Android) developed by Backbase before further focusing on improving the rest of the bank’s existing banking platforms.

Backbase Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions

In July 2020 Backbase, launched its new offices in Sydney and Melbourne. With the expansion, Backbase is well-positioned to cater to the evolving digital banking landscape in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). The new ANZ office follows the launch of its Asia Pacific (APAC) headquarters in Singapore, highlighting Backbase’s commitment to helping banks and financial institutions to digitally transform their businesses.

While the ‘Big Four’ banks are expected to retain their stronghold in ANZ, small and mid-sized banks as well as digital challengers will be competing for a larger share of the pie. The region will also see an acceleration of investment in digital banking in pursuit of efficiencies and new revenue sources to offset shrinking revenues, with 35% of IT budgets among Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks to be spent on new technologies.

With a comprehensive digital banking platform and deep industry expertise, Backbase will enable banks in ANZ to transform and keep pace with customer expectations as more turn to digital services for their banking needs. The decision to establish offices in Sydney and Melbourne comes as Backbase ramps up local support for new business signed this year.

With the latest customer win in the UK with leading insurance provider Hiscox, Backbase expanded its operations in the United Kingdom.

Backbase Customer Experience Platform specialist has revealed that they will begin an aggressive hiring campaign to find the right candidates for their growing operations in the UK. The innovative software provider currently employs 150 senior technology and usability experts in their Amsterdam, New York, and Singapore offices. Backbase’s London office is located in the heart of the city’s historical financial district and their UK expansion will create at least a dozen new positions for the vendor to fill.

Backbase Risks and Challenges

Banks should take note that deepening involvement and encouraging growth in the SME sector does not necessarily revolve around extending credit. Many SMEs report that they feel that they are let down by their bank through a lack of relationship and business service rather than for financial reasons. Just as there is a shift towards a customer-centric approach in retail banking online, there needs to be a similar push to nurture relationships with SMEs. Banks need to address the issue of how they are serving SMEs on their digital channels.

By creating better experiences and offering more tools online, banks will be better able to tailor products and services to specific segments of the SME sector. However, while the digital channel for SMEs remains fragmented, requiring multiple sign-ins, difficult to navigate through and practically devoid of the mobile capabilities so readily available to retail and corporate customers, SMEs are unlikely to move away from branches.

Keeping SME interactions chained to branches does nobody any favors. It is far more costly for banks and it limits the number of services SME customers could be taking advantage of to improve their business operations.

Zensar Technologies has collaborated with Backbase. Globally, banks are making the shift to delivering compelling customer experience across multiple channels to customers. This alliance will allow Zensar’s Mobility Services to implement a digital-led customer experience for its banking clients.

Zensar will offer this platform to implement Omnichannel workflows to existing and new customers while working together on joint go-to-market offerings and innovative value propositions. This partnership will involve initially projects in the United States and the United Kingdom. The highlight of the partnership lies in the benefits available to customers of both companies.

Zensar has proven expertise in offering world-class agile and outcome-based mobility solutions, and Backbase brings in industry proven customer experience and digital solutions for the banking, financial services, and insurance segment. The partnership will bring the much-needed business agility as enterprises embark on their digital transformation journey.
