Engagement Banking Platform
The open platform to progressively modernize your bank
Legacy systems and silos are holding banks back, draining resources and stalling progress. With Backbase, you can break free and embrace a modern, composable approach — your foundation to progressively modernize, unlock growth, and become the primary bank for your customers.
Is legacy weighing your bank down?
Tied to legacy systems, banks are stuck in a costly cycle of outdated, disconnected tech, with billions of dollars in business value lost each year. This isn’t just a drain on resources — it’s a roadblock to survival in an industry that demands agility and innovation.

1/3
of developers' time at traditional banks goes to new features; the rest is lost to maintenance
Break free from vendor lock-in and tech debt
Breaking free from legacy limits doesn’t have to mean tearing everything down or taking unnecessary risks. Instead, banks can take a progressive approach to modernization: keep the core systems and trusted partners while Backbase unifies everything into a harmonious tech ecosystem. This incremental process gives you the flexibility to adopt new technology and systems at your own pace, hollowing out your core to unlock new possibilities one silo at a time. Simultaneously, it enables you to deliver innovative and impactful customer experiences that build loyalty and maximize lifetime value.
