By Grant White

For immediate release 

Smartnumbers is pleased to announce that it has become an AWS Financial Services Competency Partner, enabling us to better meet the needs of customers in the financial services sector. 

Financial Services Competency 

The AWS Financial Services Competency is designed to highlight AWS Partners who have demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success in delivering solutions for financial services companies. This competency is particularly relevant for banks, insurance companies, capital market firms and payment processors, enabling them to leverage cloud technology to enhance their operations and customer experience. 

Key benefits of the Financial Services Competency Programme 

Security and compliance: Financial institutions operate under stringent regulatory standards. The AWS Financial Services Competency emphasises security and compliance, ensuring that solutions meet or exceed industry requirements, which is crucial for maintaining trust and reliability among end customers. 

Scalability: As financial organisations undergo rapid digital transformation, the ability to scale services is essential. Solutions under this competency utilise AWS’s robust infrastructure to provide adaptable services that can grow alongside customer needs. 

Innovation: The competency encourages the integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, to enhance customer service, streamline operations, and optimise risk assessment. This focus on innovation helps financial institutions stay competitive. 

Accelerated time to market: By partnering with AWS Competency partners, financial institutions can bring new products and services to market faster, improving their agility and responsiveness to customer demands. 

About Smartnumbers 

We help companies in the fight against fraud. 

Our cloud-based platform – Smartnumbers Protect – analyses incoming calls to the contact centre, unmasks hidden numbers and assigns a risk score based on data about known fraudsters and caller behaviour. This enables contact centres to flag suspicious calls for further investigation and helps prevent fraud. Through our Smartnumbers Consortium features, our community of customers can update and share intelligence in real time on the fraudsters they know. Organisations are also able to connect and collaborate through Consortium events.
