Cooperation
Delivering personalized and timely information to clients, while at the same time, offering ways of operating their accounts, is today’s imperative in the banking industry. APS Bank has therefore decided to partner with NF Innova – to make this available through its digital channels (internet and mobile banking), to both its retail and corporate clients.
Implementing this solution requires connecting to the core system, and the bank’s employees are able to use the administration panel (admin panel) to administrate all front-end channels, including layout and applications design, as well as to create client segments (groups of users), and to perform other administration-related activities.
NF Innova has provided a platform that can serve all client groups. This enables lean implementation and fast time to market, at the same time making the future management of customer channels much more convenient. The subject of this cooperation is the implementation of an omni-channel banking platform that includes internet banking module and mobile banking. Some of the features that the solution brings are mobile onboarding, segmentation and various native applications.
“Keeping pace with today’s consumer expectations can be a daunting thought for most traditional banks. It requires strategic decision-making because it involves the transformation of banking as we know it and as it has been practiced by most banks. Our aim is to encourage such transformation by providing the right solution and expert support. The solution that NF Innova has developed can satisfy all modern business requirements, offering a single platform that can accommodate both business and private clients. Mobile onboarding, channel hopping, the iBanking solution is all in one place for more convenient banking,” says Aleksandar Lenov, Sales Executive at NF Innova.
“NF Innova provided a platform which is integrated, scalable and futureproof, allowing the Bank to provide an omni-channel experience across various devices. The platform should serve as the foundation allowing further incremental developments with the ultimate goal to make the customer experience simpler like never before.” commented Jonathan Caruana, Chief Technology Officer at APS Bank.
