“Incumbent banks in Australia have grown complacent and benefited from the inertia that comes from the difficulty of changing banks.
“With Temenos software, we can adapt to the customers’ changing needs, reduce costs and innovate faster. Our digital bank will be a trailblazer in a new era of banking and every experience we offer will be mobile-led, personalised and customer focused.”
Volt, co-founded by former NAB and Barclays executive Steve Weston, secured a restricted authorised deposit-taking institution (Radi) licence from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority recently.
At the outset, volt will offer savings and transaction accounts, term deposits and foreign exchange, before moving into personal loans, mortgages and credit cards as it transitions to a full license.
