Powered by Kony DBX, CFG Bank\u2019s Digital Banking App Provides a Unique Digital Experience to Meet Customers\u2019 Modern Banking Needs<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas– (BUSINESS WIRE<\/span><\/a><\/span>\/AETOSWire<\/span><\/a><\/span>)–\u00a0Kony, Inc.<\/span><\/a>, a leading provider of digital banking solutions, and CFG Bank, an innovator in retail commercial banking in Morocco, today announced their collaboration on CFG Bank\u2019s digital banking application. With customers expecting a simple yet robust digital banking experience, CFG Bank has selected Kony to partner on its long-term digital transformation strategy built on the pillars of simplicity, transparency and sustainable customer relationships. Central to that strategy is CFG Bank\u2019s dynamic app built on Kony\u2019s digital banking platform,\u00a0Kony DBX<\/span><\/a>, which provides a more modern digital banking experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to succeed in our banking environment, it\u2019s essential to be unique. It\u2019s not enough to provide the same services or similar features as other banks. Rather, we must craft a customer experience that is tailored, simple and that empowers customers with the ability to complete services and transactions how and when they want,\u201d said Driss Benchafai, General Manager, CFG Bank. \u201cKony has played a significant role in helping us standout from other banks. Our customers set a high standard for what they expect from a digital banking experience, and the Kony-powered CFG Bank app empowers our customers with the functionality and services they need right at their fingertips.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kony and CFG Bank first connected on the bank\u2019s long-term digital transformation strategy in 2016. Working together, Kony and CFG Bank developed a digital banking app designed so that customers could retake control of the vast majority of banking transactions, and rely on physical branches for \u201clife moments,\u201d such as plans for funding educational goals or detailed processes around investments and inheritance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers enjoy the autonomy and freedom that digital banking supports, and we plan to stay ahead of those preferences in experience with the right digital strategy,\u201d said Benchafai. \u201cThe objective is to have our clients conduct the majority of their transactions outside of the branch office. With a sustained commitment to digital innovation and support from our knowledgeable partners at Kony, we\u2019re well on our way there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

CFG Bank customers can now conduct several different banking transactions at their leisure and well beyond the working hours of a typical branch. In addition to helping customers with functions like check depositing and personal financial management, CFG Bank is responsive to what customers desire in their banking experience and is integrating features at a rapid pace to correspond to customer preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always had the belief that innovation in digital banking services is an absolute must-have for banks and credit unions,\u201d said Jeffery Kendall, senior vice president and general manager, Kony DBX. \u201cCFG Bank is a great partner that embraces a fast-paced commitment to technology and digital innovation, and then leverages the Kony DBX community and platform to enact change and standout from the competition. CFG Bank has the digital solutions in place today to enable exceptional digital banking, even as banking in general continues to evolve. As the bank remains committed to servicing its customers in a digital-first world, Kony DBX stands ready to help CFG Bank stay ahead of the digital banking innovation curve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the successful implementation of the CFG Banking app, Kony and CFG Bank are exploring additional ways to provide customers with more capabilities. These include data analytics, behavioral analysis and artificial intelligence to improve future iterations of CFG Bank\u2019s digital banking experience.<\/span><\/p>\n
