Asseco Poland announced today, that it will build a fully digital bank in Germany, a new division of Golden Sand Bank. While building the new division in Germany, Golden Sand Bank will use Asseco Core Banking solution, IBM software as a Service applications, and a new cloud-based IBM Bank in a Box solution, in order to integrate its operations with European payments systems such as SWIFT and SEPA-SCT. The solution will also enable to define the products and administer contracts including current accounts, credit and debit cards.

Asseco is not only a leading provider of software for the banks in Poland but also it consistently marks up its presence on the foreign markets. Our original systems are being implemented in Austria, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Nigeria and Vietnam among others. The collaboration with IBM is one of the paths to strengthen our international recognition in the financial sector. The established cooperation has resulted in a mutual offer and realization of the first projects with example of setting up a Golden Sand Bank last year and starting works over its expansion in Germany. The Golden Sand Bank's banking systems use IBM infrastructure and services and the Asseco business software – said Zbigniew Pomianek, Vice President of Asseco Poland Management Board.

This is another milestone of Golden Sand Bank, an online wealth management project, which was launched last year. As the fintech business model requires an agile approach with no upfront investment, and in order to build the foundation for its new business, Golden Sand Bank chose IBM to deploy together with Asseco a cloud-based “bank-in-a-box” solution developed by teams from IBM Services. The solution employs the IBM Cloud hybrid platform for the banking solution along with services based on IBM data centers in Poland.

The Bank-in-a-Box solution allows for setting up a bank in 6 months only. It greatly reduces the implementation costs and lowers the financial loss risk. The solution supports regular changes and provides for continuing the development with new services – said Artur Wróblewski, Global Technology Services, Leader, IBM Polska.

Asseco Poland is the biggest Polish IT company floated on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the sixth software producer in Europe. It leads the international Asseco Group that is operating in 54 states with workforce of over 24 thousand people. Creating software for banks is one of the key areas of Asseco Poland's activity; the company offers solutions that correspond with the latest trends of the world baking. Thanks to the gained experience and competences, Asseco has implemented its IT solutions (core baking engine) in over 800 banks.

The central system of the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (nSIU System) is responsible for handling social and health insurance, as well as short-term benefits and accidents in agriculture. It is used daily by more than 3,000 Agricultural Social Insurance Fund employees, to whom it provides all functionalities online - documents are generated in real time upon the user's request. The main element of the system is the central repository of personal data of persons insured via the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund, which is a reference for other systems of the Fund, such as the FARMER pension service system, the Workflow system integrating the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund branch systems, or the e-KRUS Portal subsystem. The solution is also integrated with the systems of other public institutions: i.a. the Ministry of Interior Register - PESEL, NFZ, MRPiPS, PFRON, ARiMR.

This agreement is a continuation of our more than 20 years of cooperation with the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund.  Extensive experience in supporting the statutory tasks of the Fund will allow us to effectively coordinate such a complex project. Apart from maintenance, service and updating of the system, we are also responsible for operation of two independent computing centers, coordination of external audits, analytical work, tests, as well as regular consultations and training, says Lech Szczuka, Vice President of the Management Board of Asseco Data Systems SA, who is also the Head of the Agricultural Insurance Division at Asseco Poland.

The project will be implemented by Asseco Data Systems in consortium with Asseco Poland, which will be primarily responsible for managing the database. Asseco Poland is the author of the Workflow system used by the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund and will be responsible for communication of the nSIU system with systems of external institutions.The nSIU program was written in the JAVA EE technology and is supported on the basis of the outsourcing cooperation model. Data processing is performed in two computing centers of Asseco Data Systems with simultaneous data replication to the backup center. The system has been functioning in the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund since 2015 and supports more than 50 million user queries per month.The agreement with the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund provides for the system to be updated on an ongoing basis and adapted to new organizational and legal requirements. In addition to maintaining the system, Asseco Data System also provides technical support and end-user support.

During the event, a demo presentation of Asseco's systems was held. It was titled "New insight on Trade Finance products for SME - Digi Trade", conducted by Marta Mróz-Sipiora, Product Manager, and Marcin Kwilosz, Product Manager at Asseco Poland. During the presentation, the capabilities of Asseco EBP in the field of trade financing and the benefits of implementing the system were presented. The solution allows, among other things, to reduce operating costs related to generating paper documents and to automate processes, thanks to which customer service becomes faster. Additionally, the integration of Asseco EBP with the Asseco Advisory Banking Platform (Asseco ABP), which provides comprehensive support to bank advisors, was presented.

Modern corporate banking requires a fresh look at companies and providing them with effective and safe financial management. Companies expect an individual and professional approach, as well as efficient and flexible service. That is why we have developed Asseco EBP, which provides comprehensive support to entrepreneurs in the area of financial services. At the same time, it ensures integration with the financial and accounting systems of corporate customers and security of transactions, said Marta Mróz-Sipiora, Product Manager at Asseco Poland.

Asseco EBP and Asseco ABP are modern omni-channel systems that completely change the philosophy of functioning of financial institutions. They provide banks with better identification of customer needs, and thus enable them to prepare a "tailor-made" offer.

Asseco ABP introduces a new quality of customer service. It offers simultaneous implementation of service processes in traditional, Internet and mobile channels through automated workflow, said Marcin Kwilosz, Product Manager at Asseco Poland.

The Efma SME Banking Summit conference is one of the most important events addressed to market leaders from the sector of small and mid-sized enterprises, banks and IT providers. Among the topics of this year's conference were, among others, trends in creating services and products, as well as ways of designing the so-called end-to-end processes, which improve banks' customer service process.Related materials

The jury of the competition appreciated PROMAK TS - an innovative system for trading in financial instruments, which was implemented and launched on the WSE for the first time. It is available to brokers operating on the WSE since January 2 2018 both in the form of a dedicated application as well as a web version. The project was carried out in a record time (5 months from the signing of the agreement). The new solution provides traders from Poland and the European Union with direct access to trading on all WSE's markets without any geographical restrictions. It also enables secure access to current market information, effective order management and fast and efficient communication.

In product development, we focus not only on technological requirements, but above all on expectations of the business side. Our goal in this project was to modernize the solutions offered by the exchange and to simplify their administration. The best tool to achieve this was the implementation of the PROMAK TS system. It was Asseco Poland's first project carried out jointly with the WSE and we hope that in the future we will have an opportunity to expand our cooperation. It is also an important reference for us thanks to which we can try to implement our products on foreign stock exchanges, said Artur Trunowicz.

PROMAK TS provided the WSE with the freedom to choose the way of the access to the UTP trading system, thanks to which traders can receive information on the current state of the market or the quotations of instruments through two independent solutions. Thanks to the implementation, the WSE has become one of the most modern trading floors in the world. Solutions of this class in Europe are used only by the London Stock of Exchange.The Congress of Electronic Economy is an event bringing together key representatives of public and local government administration, financial and scientific circles, whose activities contribute to the development of modern electronic economy in Poland. This year's Congress was organized by the Polish Bank Association and the Banking Technology Forum.
