CAPABILITIES
The first stage of National Bank
of Iraq’s digital upgrade is now
complete. Backbase, and its
implementation partner, Bring
Global, were selected due to the capabilities
of the Backbase Digital-First Banking
Platform, which offered both sophisticated
technology and the ability to scale and adapt
with changing needs.
Agility was also key to this project’s
success, a key tenant of Backbase’s Digital
Transformation method. Backbase helped
coach the bank’s teams on agile best
practices, allowing them to better serve
their customers and capitalise on the
platform’s capabilities.
Ayman Abu Duhaim, CEO of the National
Bank of Iraq, said: “We wanted the best for
our customers now but it was very important
to find the right partner who would help
us scale over time. It wasn’t just about the
platform but we equally wanted a platform
that enables us to continue adding value to
our customers in a seamless manner.”
The project consisted of four separate
tracks that went live in just one year. This
was also the first time a bank has launched
over cloud in Iraq. This success is a testament
to the dedication of the teams at both
companies. But the implementation partner,
Bring Global, also deserves credit. Backbase
recently awarded them Regional Partner of
the Year due to their success on this project,
as well as with Capital Bank of Jordan.
Jouk Pleiter, CEO at Backbase, added:
“We’re thrilled to work with the National
Bank of Iraq on the first cloud launch in the
region. The scope of the project and the time
frame also proves what we always tell our
clients: being agile is the most efficient and
effective way to work.”
Backbase and National Bank of Iraq
will continue to work side-by-side, ensuring
that the bank’s customers continue to
have the best products and services in the
years to come. •
This success is a
testament to the
dedication of the teams
at both companies.
