Frost continued, “AMP Bank built a mobile-first experience, where customers onboard securely through the app, which has smart, self-serve, money management features including spending insights, card controls, as well fraud and identity theft protection, including numberless-facing debit cards and video identity. They have the ability for business accounts to create virtual ‘sub-accounts’, making it easier to manage tax payments, payroll and Integration with Xero to simplify financial administration – all these features, with speed to market meant AMP Bank won the award category, and are the best example of the new era in banking; we are delighted to welcome them as our Opening Keynote.”
