Two banking wins signal commercial momentum for RocketBoots
RocketBoots (ASX: ROC) has delivered two concurrent positive customer outcomes in its latest announcement: a confirmed successful trial with a major Mexican retail bank and a 12-month renewal from a long-standing New Zealand retail bank customer. The Mexican bank, which operates a network of more than 1,200 branches, has confirmed the trial successful and rollout discussions have commenced, though a rollout contract has not yet been agreed. Combined invoices of approximately A$231,000 have been issued across both events.

What happened — the details behind each development
Mexican bank trial — successful completion, rollout talks begin
The trial was originally announced on 20 August 2025, covering a select number of branches and won alongside a multinational consulting partner that introduced RocketBoots to the opportunity. The customer has since confirmed the trial successful, and discussions on a wider deployment have commenced with both the customer and the consulting partner.
An invoice of approximately A$131,000 (equivalent to US$93,800) has been issued for the completed trial. The potential network spans more than 1,200 branches, though the scope of any rollout is yet to be agreed.
New Zealand bank renewal — four-year relationship continues
The New Zealand retail bank first engaged RocketBoots in 2019 and entered an enterprise agreement in May 2023. The customer has now renewed its software agreement for a further 12 months, bringing the total contract duration to four years. The Chief Executive Officer has confirmed the invoice for this renewal has already been paid.
The NZ renewal invoice figure is not broken out separately in the announcement. Total combined invoices across both events amount to approximately A$231,000.
| Event | Customer | Invoice Issued | Status | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trial completion | Mexican retail bank | ~A$131K (~US$93.8K) | Rollout discussions commenced | 1,200+ branch network; rollout scope not yet agreed |
| Contract renewal | NZ retail bank | Combined ~A$231K total | Renewed 12 months; invoice paid | Four-year contract term |
What RocketBoots actually does — and why banks use it
RocketBoots converts video data into measurable operating outcomes for large retailers and banks. Its software is designed to lower operating costs and loss while improving service, sales, and customer loyalty across retail stores and banking branches.
The platform is delivered as annual software licences, configured and supported centrally. This structure means the business model generates recurring revenue with low marginal delivery cost per additional customer. Applications span loss prevention in retail, and workforce and customer-experience optimisation in retail and retail banking.
Retail banks are a natural target market for this type of software. Branch networks carry high staff costs and face persistent pressure to improve customer service outcomes, making measurable, software-driven improvements attractive. For investors, the model’s significance lies in its scalability: once a customer is onboarded, renewals and expansions can be delivered without proportionate increases in cost.
CEO perspective and what comes next
RocketBoots’ Chief Executive Officer, Joel Rappolt, commented on both developments:
Joel Rappolt, Chief Executive Officer
“The Mexican trial has done what it was set up to do. The customer has described the trial as successful, and we have started rollout discussions with them and with our consulting partner. Separately, our New Zealand bank has renewed for another year and has paid the invoice. We hope to continue to reporting positive outcomes like these as they happen: trials completed, cash received, and renewals.”
The trial-to-rollout pathway is the key value event for investors to monitor. A deployment across more than 1,200 branches, if contracted, would represent a material step-up in revenue relative to the trial. However, as the announcement explicitly states, a rollout contract has not been agreed and readers should not place undue reliance on that outcome.
The consulting partner relationship is also worth noting. This multinational firm introduced RocketBoots to the Mexican opportunity, suggesting a channel that could facilitate further introductions without the company bearing the full cost of customer acquisition. Management has signalled intent to report outcomes as they occur, positioning investors to follow the rollout negotiation as it progresses.
