Banco da Amazônia (BASA), a leading Brazilian development bank, selected Temenos to power its digital transformation and expand its reach across Brazil. Founded in 1942 and headquartered in Belém, BASA serves over 1 million customers through 120 branches. With a strong mandate to drive sustainable economic development in the Amazon region, the bank is evolving into a digitally scalable institution with national ambitions.
Expanding reach and improving efficiency through digital transformation
The bank is adopting Temenos Core, Digital and Payments solutions to modernize its retail, SME and wholesale banking operations, alongside the launch of a new digital super-app. This transformation is enabling BASA to scale nationally, improve operational efficiency and deliver inclusive financial services beyond its traditional footprint in northern Brazil.
Following a competitive evaluation process, BASA is replacing its legacy core systems with Temenos’ modern banking platform. This transformation supports the bank’s ambition to triple its microcredit portfolio, reduce reliance on government-subsidized credit, and diversify revenue streams through new digital products.
Temenos’ technology enables fully digital client onboarding and servicing, helping BASA reach underbanked and remote communities. Its agile platform also supports the rapid rollout of new offerings in retail investment, SME lending and personal credit, while enhancing support for Brazil’s instant payments ecosystem with 24/7 Pix transactions delivering improved speed, reliability and scalability.
We’re investing in cutting-edge technology to build a more efficient, diversified and sustainable bank. Temenos’ proven platform and global expertise will help us to expand our services at a lower cost, bringing inclusive digital services to consumers and small businesses across Brazil.”
