Seit der Verbreitung des kommerziellen Internets haben die Banken zahlreiche Versuche unternommen, im E‑Commerce Fuss zu fassen. Bislang ohne nennenswerten Erfolg (Vgl. dazu: B2B-Plattformen – eine weitere verpasste Chance der Banken & B2B-Banking ohne Banken). Nun wagt die spanische BBVA den Versuch, wie in BBVA sets sights on Amazon with new pilot project berichtet wird.
BBVA will zusammen mit dem spanischen Restaurant El Celler de Can Roca deren Produkte auf Amazon vertreiben.
BBVA has a double-pronged objective in using El Celler’s products to kick of its journey into Amazon. First, the bank wants to share its digital expertise with the Roca brothers so they can benefit in selling their exclusive products online. This approach also provides BBVA with a pilot project where it can trial the functionality of the world’s largest e‑commerce portal, paving the way for the bank to offer other types of financial products in the future. Currently BBVA already sells close to 60 percent of its products over digital channels. Selling through Amazon would extend online sales opportunities, complementing the bank’s proprietary digital channels (in: BBVA, together with El Celler de Can Roca, launches product sales on Amazon).
