Areteans & Pega: Journey of a Digital Bank

As a Pega Gold Partner, Areteans is always very proud and happy to be a continuous part of the digital transformation journey for one of the largest Digital Bank of South Africa.

This bank operates fully digitally and is branchless, hence the need for a proper Business Process Modelling implementation was very critical and sensitive.

As Pega fitted exactly into their strategic objectives the robust implementation of their omnichannel modules and applications in Pega were very important.

Areteans helped them scale up their objectives and the bank achieved to onboard a million customers over a period of just one year.

The benefits achieved by the Bank by using Areteans services and Pega were the following but was not limited to it.

  1. Pega’s cloud-based solutions as was proposed by Areteans seamlessly merged with the bank’s cloud-only digital infrastructure and services which provided scalability of operations.
  2. Areteans gathered and structured the requirements quickly to give hand in hand solutions which were implementation ready for faster time to market.
  3. The technology behind the services needed to be dynamically scalable and agile to support the digital expansion of the bank. Areteans leveraged Pega’s Low Code -No Code platform which enabled swift changes in quick turnaround time while assuring continued quality service to the bank’s customers
  4. Since the bank provides branch-less banking, the back-office service center is used to serve the customers where they use Pega CS-FS. By using Pega’s industry solution of Customer Service for Financial Services (CS-FS) the service center representatives could serve customers better and faster in a first contact resolution with advanced case management features.

The capabilities of using bots for customer interactions, using machine learning and AI to intelligently aggregate, route, and resolve customer queries/requests or complaints, etc all were used in omnichannel modules for the bank.
