HSBC Holdings has selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a long-term strategic cloud provider to drive digital transformation and deliver personalized banking services, AWS reported on Wednesday.
“Our work with AWS is an example of how HSBC continues to invest in secure and advanced technologies to make our digital banking experience even better for customers,” said Dinesh Keswani, CTO and CIO for Digital, HSBC. “ HSBC’s collaboration with AWS helps us to deliver innovative banking solutions to customers at a faster rate, starting with our Wealth & Personal Banking business.”
HSBC will integrate AWS technology across the bank’s lines of business, starting with customer-facing applications and application modernization in its Global Wealth and Personal Banking business. AWS will enable HSBC to drive innovation, automate key processes, and enhance operational efficiency across a range of personal financial services.
AWS’ global infrastructure will enable HSBC to run and scale applications around the world with greater availability and reliability. HSBC will draw upon AWS’s portfolio of cloud services, including compute, containers, storage, database, analytics, machine learning and security.
AWS’ cloud services will provide HSBC with digital products, support security and compliance standards for worldwide personal banking customers. HSBC plans to use AWS serverless and analytics services, such as Amazon Kinesis, to create a personalized and customer-centric banking experience.
“We look forward to our continued collaboration with HSBC as they leverage AWS’s proven capabilities, reliability, and security to drive efficiency across their business and become a more agile organization in the cloud,” said Frank Fallon, vice president of Financial Services at AWS.
