sourceCustomer Relationships

sourcePerfios runs a dedicated Customer Success function of roughly 40 people, with specialized roles spanning international operations, product integration and engagement management — indicating a personal-assistance relationship model for its institutional clients rather than pure self-service.
sourcePerfios extends existing account relationships into adjacent client categories through hands-on deployment engagements — its International CEO described onboarding the first mortgage-broker client onto its Switch platform as extending relationships from banks into a new stakeholder category.
sourceChannels
Perfios uses major international BFSI events to launch new platforms and announce client wins directly to the industry — its mortgage-focused 'Switch' platform was launched at Dubai FinTech Summit 2025, and its Nexus 360 partnership with Beehive Fintech was announced at the Singapore Fintech Festival.
sourcePerfios reaches financial institutions abroad through its own regional operations rather than local resellers — it has run UAE operations directly for over 5 years, with its flagship products adopted by top UAE banks, before using that presence to sign its first mortgage-sector client.
sourcePerfios delivers its platforms straight into a client institution's own underwriting and origination systems rather than through channel resellers — Beehive Fintech deployed Perfios Nexus 360 directly into its underwriting process, citing gains in speed and risk governance.
