Backbase, the Engagement Banking platform provider, today announced the opening of its Global Development Center (BDC) in Hyderabad, India.
As Backbase’s second BDC worldwide, the facility’s infrastructure and access to talent as well as its partner ecosystem, will enable Backbase to better deliver end-to-end services for mobile and web development on the Backbase Engagement Banking Platform, with the goal of helping banks around the globe grow and scale.
