Market forces driving change

The report provides an in-depth review of leading digital banking platforms serving the North American market. It assesses solutions across critical dimensions such as functionality, customer experience, innovation, and adaptability, helping financial institutions make informed technology decisions.

According to Celent, the digital banking landscape is undergoing a transformation, driven by a convergence of market pressures and technological advancements.

As Celent highlights in the report, the pace and nature of change in digital banking platforms today clearly diverge from those of just two years ago.

Financial institutions are no longer simply digitizing services, they are reimagining how they engage, personalize, and deliver value to customers.

At the heart of this transformation are three critical “change imperatives” that are reshaping both engagement models and implementation strategies:

  • Mobile-first design for business banking
  • Seamless integration across financial products
  • Extensive Configurability and Personalization

The focus is shifting from basic functionality to strategic engagement and user-centric design. Celent’s report identifies a set of features that are no longer optional—they are essential for financial institutions aiming to stay competitive and relevant in a rapidly changing market.

The platform comes pre-integrated with a curated ecosystem of trusted partners including MX for financial data aggregation, Mitek for identity verification, Entersekt for secure authentication, Wise for international payments, Unblu for collaborative customer interactions, and AgentIQ for AI-driven engagement.

This extensive partner network allows banks to extend their capabilities seamlessly, choosing best-in-class solutions that align with their strategic goals.

Beyond integration, ebankIT provides hands-on support throughout the implementation process, including UI customization to ensure that each institution’s brand and user experience are fully reflected.

3. Data-Driven Insights

ebankIT’s platform includes a built-in analytics portal offering digital channel owners a powerful tool to monitor, measure, and optimize user engagement.

This enables banks to access real-time insights into customer behavior, feature usage, and channel performance, helping them make informed decisions that drive growth and improve service delivery.
