How they describe their product/innovation: The App Store is one of the key innovations within Backbase Portal Manager, which is the dashboard that helps e-business professionals optimize their Bank 2.0 Portal. App Store brings together best-of-breed functional modules (e.g. PFM, Chat, Content and Data feeds, andTransactional Systems) that can easily be added to your Bank 2.0 Portal. The App Store is populated with functionality provided by Backbase, the financial provider (their existing banking apps) and third-party software and data vendors in the financial services industry.

In today’s Web 2.0 world, banks need to offer a superior online customer experience that goes way beyond offering only online transaction capability. In order to be customer centric and optimize the online customer journey, financial services firms need to be able to create the right blend of functionality and content that serves their customer in a more personal way. Think PFM, interactive calculators and simulation tools, personal inbox and targeted advice.
