Introduction of AI in the banking sector
With the new Intelligence Fabric, Backbase will enable banks to implement AI capabilities that will unlock massive productivity gains across their service and sales operations. Using advanced reasoning and leveraging cross-bank data through the Backbase platform, banks can now orchestrate customer journeys in tandem with underlying workflows, integrations and real-time data interpretation.

With unified, real-time access to bank-wide data, insights, tools and workflows on the Engagement Banking Platform, Backbase AI agents can understand and interpret contextual insights to deliver personalized responses. They can also execute action plans, whether handling small tasks like finding transactions or scheduling bill payments, or managing entire processes like onboarding customers. Ultimately, AI agents have the potential to reinvent customer journeys and workflows across banking. Built-in mechanisms will ensure robust security, allowing banks to implement strict levels of compliance and governance.
Jouk Pleiter, founder and CEO of Backbase, said: “Backbase is leading the way with its AI platform capabilities for banking. The introduction of the Intelligence Fabric marks an important moment in our mission to enable banks to harness the power of data and AI at scale. Today, we’re taking a big step forward by unveiling our agentic AI strategy. We see a future where AI agents work autonomously, taking care of tasks, managing processes, and collaborating with customers and employees. The adoption and evolution of these next-generation powerhouses will significantly reduce internal and external labor expenses for overhead costs such as sales, marketing, customer service and compliance operations.”
Leverage data connectivity with the Grand Central integration platform
The Intelligence Fabric leverages Backbase’s Grand Central – the first integration platform as a service for banking – which seamlessly unifies data from a variety of sources, including core banking systems, payments, fintech capabilities and non-fintech systems such as CRMs. This robust integration platform provides a single source of transparency for banks, consolidating data from all these sources. In addition, this improvement democratizes data, making it accessible not only to Backbase, but also to banks, their partners and their suppliers.

Conversational banking: leverage extended language models (LLMs) to manage everyday banking tasks such as account access, payments, checking transaction history, and card management across digital channels.
