Leading a local bank’s digital build-out during lockdown

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the Middle East’s foremost local banks faced a daunting challenge. With the world in lockdown, they urgently needed to establish a digital banking presence to adapt to the new normal. This is the story of how our team played a pivotal role in their transformation journey.

Challenge: Racing Against Time:

The onset of COVID-19 restrictions rendered traditional banking inadequate to meet customer needs. The bank urgently required a digital banking solution to serve customers remotely. Time was of the essence, and the challenge was clear: building a digital bank from scratch during a global pandemic.

 

Our Role: Assembling a Dream Team:

Recognizing the urgency and importance of this project, NSI Talent was entrusted with assembling a team of experts to spearhead the digital build-out. We brought together a squad of 15 top-notch professionals, including a Chief Digital Architect, Agile Coach, Technical Delivery Lead, Product Owners, and Business Analysts.

 

Results: A Transformative Success:

Despite the lockdown and the formidable circumstances, our team’s unwavering dedication and expertise yielded remarkable results. With the bank’s vision and our team’s commitment, we not only met but exceeded the client’s recruitment deadline.

 

Our firm generated revenue exceeding 280K USD, underscoring the substantial impact of our work.
