Case Study: BBAC (Bank of Beirut and the Arab Countries) grows market share with Finastra’s Fusion Equation core banking upgrade

BBAC Upgrades Core Banking to Grow Market Share with Next-Generation Banking Services

BBAC (Bank of Beirut and the Arab Countries), a leading Lebanese bank with 45 branches and 85 ATMs, needed to modernize its core banking to deliver fast, secure omnichannel services and meet new SWIFT regulatory requirements. To achieve this, BBAC selected Finastra to upgrade its core to the latest Fusion Equation and integrate Fusion Teller while continuing to use Fusion Trade Innovation for trade finance.

Finastra delivered the upgrade using its Fusion Advance methodology and Global Services support in a two‑phase rollout (major phase mid‑year, final phase completed in just over six weeks), finishing on time and on budget with no downtime. As a result, BBAC now offers improved online and in‑branch experiences, faster product development via open APIs, higher teller efficiency, stronger compliance, and a clearer path to growing market share — outcomes enabled by Finastra’s solutions.
