Join us for a panel discussion on how Leeds Building Society is working together with Accenture and Mambu to use composable banking and modern engineering practices for better customer outcomes.
At Leeds Building Society, our purpose is to put home ownership within the reach of more people generation after generation. To help us do that, we’re transforming our core banking strategy. In partnership with Accenture and Mambu, we’ve implemented a composable banking solution using a modern engineering, API-first approach to develop innovative and flexible capabilities.
Composable banking is an agile, flexible, and cost-effective approach that allows banks and building societies to break down their services into smaller, independent components to create custom solutions. It helps quickly and easily create new offerings without extensive development or IT resources.
Interested to know more? Join us and our partners Accenture and Mambu for a panel discussion at our Leeds head office to find out:
• The challenges and successes of the journey so far
• How we’re positioning ourselves to maximise the potential of technology
• How composable banking can help us deliver on our purpose
There will also be time for networking, with refreshments provided for everyone.
