Amar Bank, known as PT Bank Amar Indonesia Tbk, embarked on a transformative journey to solidify its position as a pioneer in digital banking. To enhance its innovative digital banking platform, the bank required a highly productive and cooperative workspace solution that aligned with its mission of promoting financial inclusion through technology. This led them to adopt Google Workspace Business Starter.
Amar Bank, established in 1991 and rebranded in 2015, had already taken significant strides in digital transformation by launching its digital lending platform, Tunaiku. In 2020, they further cemented their innovation by introducing Indonesia’s first mobile-only, cloud-based smart bank, leveraging AI to foster good saving habits and financial discipline. The challenge was to find a comprehensive and secure collaboration suite that could support their rapidly evolving digital infrastructure, enhance operational efficiency across their teams, and maintain strict compliance with financial regulations, all while empowering employees to work seamlessly and productively in a digital-first environment.
