The challenge
Scaling in a rapidly evolving industry
As BCB Group sought to expand its services across multiple geographies, products, and volumes, it faced the challenge of scaling its core infrastructure to support this growth. The company needed a robust, flexible core banking solution that could handle increasing demand while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency. While developing an in-house solution was considered, the complexity of the task and the need for agility and rapid go-to-market led BCB Group to explore external SaaS-based options.
They required a platform that offered low costs, seamless integration, and the stability of an established partner.
“We internally debated Buy vs Build, went through a formal Vendor Selection process and found that our resources would be most effectively utilized by working with a reputed and established SaaS Cloud Banking Platform for our current and future needs, thus our selection of Mambu.”
- Derek Rego, Head of Product at BCB Group
The solution
Seamless core platform and payments integration
BCB Group selected Mambu’s as its core banking platform after evaluating multiple vendors. Mambu's platform stood out due to its quick and seamless two-way integration with BCB Group’s payments platform using APIs and webhooks.
Mambu’s “Bank in a Box” solution will support BCB Group to not only expand its payments offerings but also prepare for future product additions beyond payments with the Mambu core acting as the backbone for all operations. With Mambu’s support, BCB Group can integrate efficiently into the SEPA payment system, laying a strong foundation for scalable growth.
The impact
Strong foundation for service growth
With the integration of Mambu’s core banking platform and Mambu Payments solution, BCB Group expects to streamline their entire operations–covering both their core banking infrastructure and payments processing. Initially, this combined solution will allow them to expand their payments product set, with Mambu providing the foundational core infrastructure and connectivity to the SEPA scheme targeted for the autumn of 2025. Future plans include SEPA Direct Debit and SWIFT connectivity.
BCB Group aims to build a strong and long-lasting partnership with Mambu to combine expertise and deliver innovative products that meet their clients’ evolving needs and market evolution.
“BCB Group's partnership with Mambu as its core banking platform signals a forward-thinking move to leverage a modern, agile infrastructure for enhanced service delivery and future growth.”
- Derek Rego, Head of Product at BCB Group
