By leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS), UNO Digital Bank in the Philippines said it was able to build the platform in just one year.

UNO Digital Bank adopted the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) to rapidly establish a comprehensive cloud environment. The MAP is a comprehensive and proven cloud migration program based on AWS’s experience in migrating thousands of enterprise customers to the cloud. Participating in the MAP accelerated and strengthened the formation and scaling of UNO Digital Bank on AWS, helping offset the initial costs.

“Using AWS, UNOBank was built in less than 12 months with the highest levels of Security and Privacy management adhering to the progressive local regulatory requirements of the Bangko Sentral Pilipinas (BSP),” said Pete Murray, jead of FSI, Asean at AWS. “Uniquely, the UNOBank platform is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) from inception, using AWS Services like Sagemaker and Personalize for fraud detection and personalized recommendations. UNOBank’s teams create frictionless and secure customer onboarding, and deliver alternate data-based credit scoring to deliver great experiences for under-serviced consumers in the Philippines.”
