The digital revolution has taken a leap in the financial services industry the last decade. In APAC alone, there have been 20 new bank licenses issued with more to come in Malaysia.
Oliver Wyman and technology and software engineering leader GFT are supporting Al Rajhi Bank Malaysia (ARBM) to design, build and launch a cloud-based digital bank.
Oliver Wyman and GFT to provide scalable technology
To set new standards of excellence for Islamic banking in Malaysia, ARBM will undertake a complete digital redesign of their products, services, and channels for this new digital bank.
“We are tapping into the potential of partnering with key experts to provide added value to our clients and better serve the Malaysian market, and ARBM is seizing the opportunities in both digital banking and Islamic finance by striving to become the number one Islamic finance innovation bank in Malaysia,” said Arsalaan (Oz) Ahmed, Chief Executive Officer, ARBM.
“The technology stack we’ve recommended will allow ARBM to provide disruptive, mobile-first, and highly scalable banking services,” said Dan Jones, Partner, Oliver Wyman Digital.
“After our success with the mobile bank Mox in Hong Kong that was awarded the 2021 Celent Model Bank Award for Retail Digital Banking, we are thrilled to be collaborating with Oliver Wyman.” said Chris Ortiz, Global Markets and Region Manager APAC and UK at GFT.
“GFT supports the design, build and launch of ARBM’s digital bank. This new digital bank will enable ARBM to respond to its clients’ needs for simpler, faster and better banking.”
