Maritime Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MSB), based in Vietnam, is a leading financial institution with a strong commitment to digital transformation. Serving over 5.5 million individual and 100,000 corporate customers, MSB has positioned itself as a pioneer in modernizing Vietnam’s banking landscape. Its goal is to become a leader in digital platforms while delivering exceptional customer service experiences.
MSB’s existing mobile app struggled to meet the increasing demands of both product development teams and transaction volumes. Frequent system overloads caused service interruptions, negatively impacting the customer experience and limiting the bank’s ability to grow its digital capabilities.
MSB’s existing in-house applications lacked unification, leading to inefficiencies in operations and customer experience.
Evolving customer expectations required seamless, omnichannel banking solutions to remain competitive. At the same time, reducing operational costs and achieving agility in product development were critical to scaling digital offerings efficiently.
MSB tackled these challenges by forming a strategic partnership with SmartOSC, leveraging its extensive expertise in Vietnam’s financial sector and its seasoned Fintech team. Together, they implemented the Backbase Engagement Banking Platform to unify systems, enhance scalability, and deliver a seamless omnichannel customer experience.
Key elements of the solution include:
This milestone marks a pivotal step in MSB’s journey toward customer-centric modernization, advancing its digital factory, and delivering seamless experiences that drive financial innovation in Vietnam.
