Customer success stories: Engagement banking at its best

ENGAGE Asia 2024 showcased the region's advancement toward Banking 4.0, highlighting the success of five banks using the Engagement Banking Platform. These banks have designed digital banking solutions, omnichannel experiences, personalized and humanized banking, as well as beyond-banking initiatives to achieve steady growth in customer acquisition and satisfaction, along with differentiated digital journeys that enhance brand preference and drive business benefits.

* Techcombank's new-to-bank acquisition has grown 20x in two years and has become a pure digital play. Digital now accounts for over 94% of transactions, driving not only better customer engagement but also stellar financial performance and substantial financial gains, accelerating the bank's achievements.
* EastWest Bank, the 9th largest bank in the Philippines has honed its ability to provide banking services tailored to different life stages. Within just one month of its launch,, their EasyWay app tracks over 619,000 installs and has maintained a rating between 4.6 and 4.8 on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, along with strong return rates.
* ABBANK launched its ABBANK Business app three months ago and has successfully migrated 100% of its business customers onto the new platform very quickly. The app is now the preferred choice for active users, making up the majority of total transactions.
* OCB launched its OMNI 4.0 app in just six months - three times faster than the industry norm for omnichannel banking platforms. This accelerated implementation delivered an estimated 40% in time savings. The app achieved a 61% year-on-year increase in transactions and a 25-fold increase since 2018, setting a new benchmark in Vietnam's banking sector.

AI and customer-centricity: driving Banking 4.0 objectives

Intelligence Fabric is an expansion of the Engagement Banking Platform incorporating a powerful set of natively embedded data and AI capabilities to empower banks to foster stronger relationships with customers throughout key stages: acquisition, activation, expansion, and retention. As digital banking platforms evolve into growth engines, they are increasingly designed to maximize customer lifetime value.

In acquisition, AI-based recommendations leverage open banking data to deliver personalized product suggestions, treating each customer as a unique individual and segment of one at scale. In activation, the platform uses scheduled triggers and smart nudges to encourage product usage, replacing traditional push marketing methods. For banking employees, AI-driven insights streamline new audience identification and enable fast, efficient segmentation opportunities. In expansion, AI analyzes spending patterns to match consumers with the most suitable credit products. For retention, predictive analytics encourage repeat usage by anticipating customer needs. Backbase's platform, with its move towards enhanced UI/UX for conversational banking and AI-driven dialogue, will drive advancements in the banking community.

Banking 4.0 focuses on creating seamless, customer-centric experiences by leveraging technology to tailor services to individual needs. AI is crucial in this evolution, enhancing customer interactions and streamlining operations to drive efficiency and engagement. At ENGAGE Asia 2024, Chris Shayan, Backbase's Head of AI, led a CXO panel with PT Bank Sinarmas Tbk, VietinBank, and Chinabank to discuss AI's transformative role in banking. Additionally, Greg Fahy, SVP of Technology, presented a session titled "Enhance Customer Value Through AI and Automation," which highlighted how AI fosters personalized experiences and efficient operations.
