Platea Banking has been designed to empower banks and enable them to compete with fintechs and neobanks, by quickly launching new business models and differentiated services
NTT DATA, a recognised leader in consulting and IT services for the banking and financial services industry, announced the launch of Platea Banking, a new digital banking platform. Platea Banking helps banks to address transformation challenges with their legacy technology, and to launch new services or innovative new business models faster.
Banks are slowly adapting to modern banking, hindered by legacy systems and a lack of resources to create the digital experiences that consumers demand. As long-term partners to some of the world’s largest retail banks, NTT DATA has experienced these challenges for traditional banks first-hand and witnessed changes in the structure of banking created by the Open Banking era. As a result, Platea Banking has been built to help banks around the globe move away from monolithic models and enable them to create new operational models through a platform-based approach, which facilitates a more customer-centric focus to banking.

This cloud-focussed approach grants both elasticity and flexibility, so banks can use Platea Banking to grow their digital offering at a pace that suits them, without being locked into a specific vendor.
