The Backbase Agent Platform is the place to build and run AI agents in your banking ecosystem. It is part of the Backbase Platform’s composable technology layers and supports modernization and AI use cases with a single foundation.

What you get

Multi-cloud foundation

Kubernetes-first architecture runs on any cloud provider with pluggable components for ingress, storage, DNS, WAF, and APIM. No vendor lock-in.

AI gateway and multi-provider LLMs

Provider-independent gateway with built-in guardrails, semantic caching, and traffic management. Use Azure AI Foundry or bring your own models.

GitOps and automated CI/CD

Argo CD-driven deployments with opinionated workflows: auto-provisioning, PR checks, security scans, build/publish automation, and production releases.

Enterprise observability

Full-stack telemetry with OpenTelemetry, Langfuse agent traces, real-time evaluations, Grafana dashboards, and PagerDuty alerting.

Production-ready starter kits

Pre-wired templates for single agents, multi-agent teams, MCP integrations, and knowledge-based RAG agents. Ship in minutes, not weeks.

Vector storage and RAG infrastructure

PostgreSQL vector database, Redis caching, object storage, Azure Service Bus, and container registries, all configured for RAG workflows.

Banking service integration

Pre-integrated MCP servers for deposits, payments, loans, fraud detection, and customer data. BIAN Coreless adoption in progress.

Enterprise security and compliance

Multi-layer guardrails, PII detection, content safety, RBAC, secure SDLC with scans, sandboxed testing, and full audit trails.

Integration within the Backbase fabric

The Agent Platform resides within the Intelligence Fabric layer, specifically providing Agentic Automation Services. It complements other services in the fabric, including Hybrid AI Services and Data Services, while supporting the Digital Banking Fabric layers above it.
The platform adheres to core Backbase principles: Composable architecture, open design, and interoperability.
