The Engagement Banking Platform
The open platform to rapidly modernize your bank
Say goodbye to vendor lock-in and legacy systems with a truly open digital banking platform. Don’t limit your choices to either build or buy, and move beyond the traditional platform model. Now, you’ll have the option to buy for speed and then build for differentiation, allowing you to get to market fast with a solution that’s all your own.
Break free from vendor lock-in & tech debt
In the traditional banking model, too many banks are stuck with outdated, expensive, siloed tech that’s hard to change — and even harder to stitch together when attempting to serve the customer.
Seize the opportunity to break free and shift to a new-generation Engagement Banking model. By leveraging a single omni-channel banking platform, you can adopt a customer-centric approach, orchestrate user journeys across all your touchpoints, and innovate at the speed of digital.

It’s time to rethink your modernization strategy
The traditional banking model is built on legacy systems that are costly to maintain and provide little differentiating value to customers.
But things are already changing. There’s been a major paradigm shift towards a new operating model that’s centered around customer engagement orchestration and the bank’s ability to create differentiating value propositions. And with Backbase, you’ll be poised to capitalize on this change.

Accelerate your digital banking transformation
Buy plus build: get the best of both worlds
We believe banks shouldn’t be forced to decide between “buy” and “build.”
With our out-of-the-box platform capabilities and customer journeys, your bank can leverage readily available functionality, covering up to 80% of what you need to build a modern mobile or web application on top of your core banking infrastructure.
That means your engineers will be able to focus on your unique, differentiating value, rather than building the basic functionalities from scratch. Leverage industrialized platform capabilities and ready-to-adopt customer journeys so you can differentiate by building unique features on top of a robust, industrialized, battle-proof architecture.
Polyglot architecture: maximum flexibility
Our platform can be adopted within your bank’s existing polyglot landscape, enabling you to continue leveraging multiple programming languages and technology frameworks.
Polyglot front-end
Continue exploiting the thriving ecosystems and communities of popular front-end technologies like Angular, React, Flutter, Vue.js, Swift, and Kotlin. Using micro-frontends and module federation, our polyglot architecture allows you to tap into these ecosystems and leverage a vast array of tech-specific libraries, tools, and community support. By limiting the need for rework and reducing complexity, you can quickly integrate with our platform.
Polyglot back-end
Adopt a containerized approach to deploy components for system integration, data sharing, and bespoke microservice software development. Leverage the strengths of different frameworks, enhance developer productivity, optimize performance, and enable flexible, modular development.
Polyglot ecosystem & infrastructure
Ensure seamless interoperability across diverse infrastructural components in a polyglot setting. No universal solution exists: choose the best persistence layers and runtime engines to suit your specific banking needs. Opt for document-based storage, non-relational databases, or distributed key-value systems. Use event-based communication or integrate serverless functions for highly scalable small tasks.
Turbocharge your Digital Factory
The Backbase platform is the “construction site” for digital transformation. On top of the platform, you work with your own cross-functional teams that are dedicated to change-the-business projects. All your teams leverage the same industrialized platform capabilities, including reusable building blocks and repeatable processes, to build tailored journeys and value propositions for your key client segments. The secret to the Digital Factory’s success? Small teams, working closely with the business side, function as a start-up accelerator and help your bank to rapidly modernize its customer journeys.
Reallocate budget from “run” to “change”
The Backbase platform enables your bank to progressively modernize its IT stack. By eliminating the burden of maintaining outdated, bespoke systems and processes, we empower you to shift your focus back to innovation. You can even reallocate these cost savings to fund modernization efforts that drive innovation, enhance customer experiences, and boost the bank's competitive position in the market.
