As part of a global multi-year deal, AWS technology will be available across the bank’s lines of business, including customer-facing applications and its Wealth & Personal Banking business, enabling HSBC to drive innovation and enhance operational efficiency.
HSBC will be able to make use of AWS’s extensive portfolio of cloud services, which includes computing, container capabilities, machine learning and security.
One plan in place as part of the agreement is the use of Amazon Kinesis and other serverless and analytics services to provide more personalised and customer-centric banking experiences to customers.
