Backbase releases Engagement Banking Revolution book

AMSTERDAM – June 27, 2022 – 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
