GENEVA, Switzerland – January 30, 2018 – Temenos (SIX: TEMN), the software specialist for banking and finance, today announces that Finabank, the fourth largest commercial bank in Suriname, has signed for Temenos T24 Core Banking, Channels, Business Intelligence and Financial Crime Mitigation. This combination will help propel Finabank’s efforts in business, retail and platinum banking, as part of Finabank’s objective to lead the financial services industry in Suriname.

Finabank is undergoing rapid expansion, tripling its assets within a three-year span. Finabank has opted to migrate to Temenos’ technology to support the bank’s continued growth and to provide enhanced services to its customers. The implementation will provide the bank with enhanced ease-of-use, such as an intuitive user interaction design, multi-lingual capabilities for its Dutch and English-speaking base, insight into customer data and a flexible architecture that allows for customization and integration. Key security features such as role-based authorization and the use of biometrics for customer and user identification ensure that the bank’s data will remain safe as it continues to innovate and modernize its approach. Paired with Temenos’ Financial Crime product family, the bank will have access to a range of fully automated, highly efficient and effective analytical modules, to quickly identify the likelihood that a financial crime has occurred and protect its customers. The project will be implemented over 18-24 months.
