    Backbase multi-device demo illustrates innovative solutions to transform traditional
wealth management into seamless 'Bank 3.0' experiences.

February 10 in London. The software technology company revealed the latest edition of the
Backbase Digital Platform, packed with powerful wealth and private banking capabilities.

applications into a single, well-integrated and dynamic online sales and service platform,
empowering affluent and high-net-worth customers any time, any place and on any device.

    One of the biggest challenges facing those in the private banking industry is how best
to digitize their products and services in order to provide their high-value customers
with a unique, engaging digital experience. Disrupters such as Betterment and Wealthfront
are changing the market dynamics, forcing incumbent wealth managers to rethink their
business model and digital strategy.

    "The message we want to convey to wealth management firms is very clear: we can help
you become a disruptor yourself," said Jouk Pleiter, CEO and founder of Backbase. "Just as
in retail banking, we now see that the wealth management industry is starting to optimize
digital client interactions as their first priority. Firms that will succeed in the
fintech revolution will be those who focus on delivering an integrated and
well-thought-out customer experience combining traditional and new business models."

    On the company's added value, Pleiter said: "Backbase offers a state-of-the-art
Digital Wealth Management solution that integrates existing IT banking systems and modern
fintech API capabilities. This gives wealth management firms the flexibility to mix and
match traditional and modern ingredients into a highly differentiated, personalized
digital customer experience."  

    In 2015, Backbase was named a leader in the Forrester Wave for Omni-Channel Digital
Banking Solutions, and was named 'Visionary' in two Gartner Magic Quadrants: Horizontal
Portals and Mobile Application Development Platforms. At the same time, Backbase scored
two top 5 positions in Gartner's Critical Capabilities for Mobile Application Development
Platforms report, and two top 3 positions in Gartner's Critical Capabilities for
Horizontal Portals report.
