"With Backbase Engage we are offering an out-of-the-box solution for banks and credit unions that want to be able to compete with both their big rivals and the new banks that are starting to nibble at their customer base. We are giving these banks a fighting chance by providing them with a superior user experience across every device, and all the most commonly used and requested apps, along with a flexible back-end architecture that allows them to choose best-of-breed functionality from different vendors.
