OutSystems, provider of the number one low-code application development platform, today announced that its customer, thinkmoney, has won the prestigious 2019 Banking Technology Award for “Best Use of IT in Retail Banking.”

Now in its 20th year, the Banking Technology Awards aims to recognise excellence and innovation in the use of IT in financial services worldwide with 18 judged award categories. The award evening, held in London, brought together 97 banks from around the world and their technology partners.

“We’re delighted to receive this recognition for the hard work of our digital transformation team over the past year,” said Michael Aldred, managing director of thinkmoney. “We started working with OutSystems in September 2018. By April 2019, we launched three new digital services that have greatly improved customer experience.

“The new digital services include an improved customer onboarding process, a new mobile banking app, and a new internet banking service,” continued Aldred. “I’m immensely proud of the pace with which we’ve improved customer experience and the ability of our staff to adopt new agile ways of working. I believe those aspects of our story impressed the award judges and account for this win in the face of stiff competition from several international banks.”

“We’re proud that thinkmoney’s hard work was recognised,” said Garry Larner, regional director, financial services and insurance at OutSystems. “The exciting thing is that thinkmoney now has the agility needed to continually improve their digital services across all channels, at a pace that their industry peers can only dream of. That’s good news for thinkmoney and their customers. We expect to see more great things from thinkmoney in the future.”

thinkmoney’s award submission was accompanied by a detailed case study video filmed at their offices in Manchester. The video and more details of thinkmoney’s digital transformation success are available here. www.outsystems.com/thinkmoney
