Banesco Panamá selects Backbase to fast-track its digital banking transformation
Banesco Panamá has selected Backbase, the Engagement Banking Platform provider, to transform its web and mobile banking platforms. With the appointment, Backbase will utilize its Engagement Banking Platform to revamp Banesco Panamá’s legacy banking systems, enhancing their speed and agility to develop new innovations and differentiate through customer experience.
The Backbase platform gives Banesco Panama access to cutting edge technology and continuous innovation. Running on a single platform with a unified architecture, having access to ready to go apps will enable Banesco Panama to accelerate the deployment of customer-centric banking innovations and to better serve its Retail and Business customers.
With the commitment to build a digital economy and society, the Panama Government has brought mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 people to 147 percent and provided access to free public Wi-Fi for 84 percent of the population. As the society continues to digitalize, banks like Banesco Panamá can provide innovative and hyper personalized solutions by offering a seamless customer experience through digital banking channels.
We are excited to work with Banesco Panamá to strengthen their digital banking offerings. As customers in LATAM get increasingly accustomed to using the internet and their smartphones to complete everyday tasks, banks are now expected to provide financial services seamlessly on digital platforms. With a digital-first approach, Banesco Panamá will be able to react swiftly to changing customer demands through innovation.
