Financial institutions are facing more competition for customers than ever before. Innovative FinTechs, and digital savvy traditional institutions are attracting new customers with attractive offers and seamless digital experiences. Gone are the days of branch-based in-person onboarding, customers today are more likely to open new accounts with a financial institution that provides a completely digital and easy experience. This requires existing banks and credit unions to rapidly deploy new digital capabilities to both retain existing customers and win new ones.
The Persistent Digital Bank & Credit Union Solution™ with Red Hat empowers financial institutions with flexibility and speed to modernize their existing IT systems and deliver completely digital experiences for various banking services, including new customer onboarding. The services, accelerators, and pre-integrated components enable fast adoption and execution of digital banking capabilities, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform offers maximized flexibility, faster time to market, and thoughtful approaches for development and operations teams.
See how easy it can be for your new customers to quickly sign-up for a digital deposit account in only a few simple steps using their mobile device.
The combination of Red Hat’s technology and Persistent’s deep financial industry expertise enables you to rapidly build digital banking capabilities and offer hyper-personalized digital customer experiences that co-exist with your current systems.
