Chapter Lead - Mallorca Global Investments Platform
What is the Mallorca platform?
Many customers struggle with the allocation of savings money to more profitable destinations. Investing looks appealing but is for newbies difficult to understand and can be perceived as risky. ING built a new Global Investments Platform (‘Mallorca’) to serve customers in its retail countries, which is now rolled out to Germany. The global platform was created with the mission of democratizing investments. The platform provides a digital investment advice service for the mass market, supported by optional video calls with an investments coach.
What is the purpose of the Mallorca platform?
Mallorca offers an easy onboarding process in which the customers receive investment advice by just answering 10 questions about investments goals, wealth and risk appetite. Based on the outcomes, the platform advises to buy one out of seven new investments funds (ING World Funds, consisting of world-wide spread ETF portfolios) followed by automatic account opening and funds transfer from the existing savings account. There two journeys, a fully digital one and a journey that involves a coach in a video call to assist the customer.
Why is it called a global platform?
Mallorca is built as a global platform, on which multiple countries can onboard. Language, currency and other country modifications in for example the suitability test are configurable. So, the core capabilities of Mallorca are designed to support multiple countries and do not need to be implemented in the country locally. Mallorca is built on the ING Banking Technology Platform. For example, the frontend was built with reusable web components, customer login, authentication and approval flows and handling of customer data are managed in the platform. The platform was built with microservices, runs fully in the ING cloud and is therefore scalable when the volumes grow.
The Vision
We believe in delivering value to our customers in a clear and easy way. We use standard technology in the bank to enable all the retail countries in ING to onboard on the platform since it is built as a multi-country platform. The product proposition is simple and easy to understand.
