The Qorus-Infosys Finacle Banking Innovation Awards 2026 is the 13th edition of the prestigious global event, with 37 participating financial institutions submitting 538 projects across 10 categories.
The selection process for the winners involved an evaluation by an expert panel of 81 senior global banking executives.
This panel determined that Standard Bank’s Money Reel feature was the top performer in Customer Experience, highlighting its innovative and intuitive design.
SB Money Reels
Standard Bank’s Money Reels is a feature that transforms banking data into an engaging digital experience with personalised, short-form financial storytelling.
It helps users track their money habits and make necessary changes to their spending.
It achieves this by providing a year-end recap with meaningful insights presented in an easily digestible, mobile-first video format.
These video reels collate the users’ spending patterns, savings progress, credit changes, and key financial life moments in one place.
This allows customers who usually struggle with conventional financial reports to understand their money habits.
Impact and popularity
Standard Bank’s Money Reels proved very popular after its release, with many users taking to social media to share their experiences.
Notably, Standard Bank had expected the new feature to be primarily popular with its younger customers, but SB Money Reels was adopted across age groups, with a quarter of all engagement coming from customers aged over 50.
Each age group also engaged with SB Money Reels in a different way, with Gen Z finding its video format familiar, Millennials finding it efficient and relatable, and older customers appreciating its simplicity and intuitive design.
This led to nearly 450,000 customers engaging with Money Reel, with an 80% completion rate for the recap.
It also led to around 175,000 new users for Standard Bank’s Digital Money Manager.
Continued development
On the back of this success, Standard Bank remains committed to evolving and expanding SB Money Reels, transforming it from a year-end recap into an even more engaging and valuable experience for customers.
These improvements will see the format adopt new ways to communicate data clearly and simply, helping customers better understand their financial habits and make smarter decisions.
