Backbase is proud to announce that the Backbase Engagement Banking Platform is now listed in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. Backbase customers can take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.

After launching a global collaboration with Microsoft in November 2021 to re-architect banking around the customer, integrating its Engagement Banking Platform with Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services, this listing is the next exciting step in bringing customer-first banking to more financial institutions and Azure customers.

Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services is an industry-specific, integrated set of cloud solutions, with the Backbase Engagement Banking Platform serving in the engagement layer and fully using Azure’s underlying capabilities. Backbase offers out-of-the-box customer journeys as well as an engine room of capabilities to empower banks to build differentiated offerings. Banks can also leverage Backbase’s integration with leading core banking providers and best-of-breed fintech fulfilment partners through the Backbase Marketplace.

Microsoft then adds the powerful cloud-based infrastructure layer while facilitating security, compliance and interoperability, allowing banks and credit unions to move quickly and embrace an end-to-end cloud-based operating model.

“This is an exciting next step in Backbase and Microsoft’s collaboration,” said Jouk Pleiter, Backbase Founder and CEO. “With Microsoft as the cloud platform of choice, we’re making it easier for banks and credit unions to select the Engagement Banking Platform in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, enhancing the benefit of all new Backbase and existing Microsoft customers.”

“Through Microsoft Azure Marketplace, customers around the world can easily find, buy, and deploy partner solutions they can trust, all certified and optimized to run on Azure,” said Jake Zborowski, General Manager, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp. “We’re happy to welcome the Backbase Engagement Banking Platform to the growing Azure Marketplace ecosystem.”
