Looking for something else?
Meet Selby Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer-in-running for a bank in the UAE. His dream was to set up a neo bank, a digital-only bank that would stand out for its services in the region. Fast and innovative was how he described his bank, and he wanted it up and ready in a span of five months.
He reached out to the TCS BaNCS team with the following requirement: All I have is the concept, myself, and the CTO, with a few office desks and chairs, and 2,000 square feet of space for my future team. How can you help us set up and run our digital only bank? How can we onboard customers in a few minutes/seconds?
Today, Selby’s bank stands out for being one of a kind in the region, a digital-only, born-in-the-cloud bank, servicing 70,000 customers with a two member IT team.
Yes, the bank was set up in five months, and Selby and his team are onboarding customers in 90 seconds - all on the mobile. With TCS BaNCS and its partner ecosystem solutions hosted on the cloud, Selby and team have been able to introduce innovative products like mobile check deposit accounts, tailor-made for children as part of fostering financial literacy, AI/ML-driven face recognition, and much more.
His customers can seamlessly connect with the financial ecosystem in the region for additional services, benefiting from the ease of convenience and speed they are looking for. TCS manages all their operations, networks, and security applications.
