Kony, Inc., the leading enterprise mobility company announced that BBVA Compass will use Kony’s application development platform to design and deploy some mobile banking applications across several operating systems and platforms.

BBVA Compass, a leading U.S. banking franchise based in the Sunbelt region, chose Kony’s cloud-based application development platform for its integrated set of products and services that spans the full software development lifecycle. The bank expects the platform to help it continue to create cutting-edge apps and stay up-to-date on new mobile form factors, operating systems and platforms.
