Backbase releases Engagement Banking Revolution book
Co-authored book defines rationale and path to engagement banking, with proceeds going to financial literacy campaign
Backbase, the engagement banking category-leader, has released The Engagement Banking Revolution book for sale on Amazon. The book is co-authored with experts and practitioners in the banking industry who have embarked on the paradigm shift to re-architect banking around the customer.
For too long, banks have had technology at the center and customers at the periphery. Like the dominant platform companies of this customer-first era (Netflix, Spotify, AirBnB), the authors explain what it takes to build a bank around a unified platform that places the customer, and their needs, at the center.
“This book represents insights drawn from decades of banking experience and technology leadership, distilled into a clear pathway to move banking into the customer-first era,” said Jouk Pleiter, CEO, Backbase and one of the co-authors. “We believe there’s a better way for banks to engage with their customers – as do all of our distinguished co-authors – and we’re excited to share what we’ve learned.”
In addition to Backbase executives, the co-authors come from Standard Bank Group, Washington State Employees Credit Union, Salesforce, IBM, and Platformation Labs. Chapters cover topics, such as:
- Why do people love platform businesses?
- Platform economics: how to increase banking revenue and delight customers
- The path to business model innovation
- Discarding old biases and norms to embrace disruption
- Defining the KPIs for Engagement Banking transformation success
- Five crucial decisions: how to successfully start your Engagement Banking transformation
- Culture: the driving force of your bank’s transformation
- The technology choices that empower change
- How the digital officer can drive sustainable Engagement Banking transformation
