BPC has been recognised as a Luminary – Celent’s highest designation – in the newly released Retail Digital Banking Platforms: Asia Pacific 2025 Edition and Small Business Digital Banking Platforms: Asia Pacific 2025 Edition.
The reports, published by Celent (part of GlobalData), highlight BPC’s SmartVista Digital Banking platform for its advanced technology and broad functionality, ranking it among the top performers in a field of nine vendors in the retail category and ten in the small business category.
The independent studies assessed leading vendors across the region, including BPC, Infosys Finacle, Backbase, FIS (small business edition only), Intellect, Oracle, TCS BaNCS, NETinfo, i-exceed, and Diasoft, highlighting digital banking trends globally and within APAC, such as mobile-first design, journey-based customer experiences, no-code configurability and open-banking interoperability.
Alenka Grealish, principal analyst at Celent, said: “Celent also highlights that GenAI will have a transformational effect on customer engagement in the coming years. As a result, DBP solution choices today will be far more impactful on future strategy than the last time a retail and business banking digital channel platform was selected”.
