A National Bank’s Full Business Process Outsourcing Journey with TribolaTech

Client Background

As a fast-growing digital bank, our client historically managed all critical business functions—including IT, operations, HR, and customer service—in-house. While this approach provided a level of control, it became increasingly challenging as the bank expanded. High costs, operational inefficiencies, and difficulty in scaling resources emerged as key pain points. In 2018, the bank sought a strategic solution to streamline operations, reduce overhead, and leverage external expertise across various business functions.

Partnership with TribolaTech

The bank partnered with TribolaTech’s Center of Excellence (CoE) to outsource not only its IT but also essential business processes, including operations, human resources, customer service, and project management. The primary goals were to achieve scalability, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency without sacrificing quality.

TribolaTech’s CoE

We provided a comprehensive range of resources and services, seamlessly integrating into the bank’s operations. Our offerings included:

  • IT Infrastructure Management: A dedicated team of network engineers, cloud engineers, and system engineers managed all aspects of the bank’s IT infrastructure, from network management to cloud optimization.
  • Human Resources Management: Experienced HR professionals oversaw recruitment, employee relations, onboarding, and payroll, ensuring efficient, compliant, and aligned HR processes.
  • Customer Service Operations: A dedicated customer service team managed front-line inquiries, reducing response times and enhancing the overall customer experience.
