The challenge
Navigating competition with customer-first banking
In a competitive, heavily regulated market, C24 Bank sought to differentiate itself by focusing on customer needs, offering low-fee, transparent banking with exceptional customer service. To enter the market successfully, C24 needed to build credibility and trust, meet regulatory requirements and ensure reliability and scalability without compromising speed.
With an ambitious goal of launching within 12 months, C24 Bank required a flexible, composable platform to deliver rapid development and an excellent customer experience.
The solution
Driving rapid and scalable growth with Mambu
C24 Bank selected Mambu as its cloud banking partner for its proven expertise in Germany and the region. Mambu's composable approach enabled seamless integration with C24's ecosystem of partners, including KYC, payments, and cards. Deployed on Amazon Web Services (AWS), C24 Bank opted for a soft, organic launch to ensure system stability and set the stage for future growth. Since then, the bank has expanded its offerings from a single current account product to three tailored account models.
The result
Rapid growth and top-tier recognition
C24 Bank went live in 14 months and has since seen significant growth, driven by its customer-first approach and high satisfaction scores. This growth reflects its ability to innovate and scale quickly. The ongoing partnership with Mambu supports expansion through new products and customer-driven solutions, positioning C24 Bank as one of Germany’s leading digital banks.
