Mobile Banking Solution from Amdocs, Bankinter
Amdocs, provider of customer experience systems, and Bankinter collaborate to
provide mobile banking solution that enables banks to offer mobile banking
services. The Amdocs Mobile Banking Solution is installed at Bankinter and based
on Bankinters mobility solution. Amdocs and Bankinter will work together to
deliver the solution and associated professional services to banks worldwide.
While Bankinter will offer the solution to banks in Spain and Portugal, Amdocs
will offer it to banks in the rest of the world.
The solution allows financial services firms to provide simple,
convenient, and secure access to a bank from a mobile device through SMS, mobile
Internet, and smart phone services. It also helps banks improve customer
relationships while reducing costs by shifting services to lower-cost mobile
banking channels.
The solution enables banks to utilize the SMS channel for
two-way conversations with customers via text messages. Banks can send alerts
about banking actions and targeted product purchase opportunities that the
customer can easily respond to. It also gives customers the ability to perform
banking transactions through a mobile Internet interface in a secure and
convenient way. An extension of the Amdocs Mobile Banking Solution for customers
with smart phones is the Mobile Broker application, which allows the users to
conduct stock market transactions and queries, anytime and anywhere. Banks can
also fully automate new product deployments to customers, including the
authentication and execution process. Automating this process reduces costs
while increasing customer convenience.
