With key retail and commercial operations across Canada, the CAD $40 billion in assets bank was looking for modern technology to increase efficiency and scale to changing consumer needs. The Temenos platform will also facilitate faster time-to-market with products and services, delivery of a superior customer experience through increased automation and ability to harness the value of the data through analytics.

The implementation is delivered by Temenos together with Deloitte. Deloitte will also provide system integration and governance services based on their long-standing and proven expertise in Temenos implementations.

LBC selected Temenos for the breadth and depth of functionality of the RetailSuite and the out-of-box functionality of the Canadian Model Bank which enables predictable implementation with less risk.

This project with Temenos is key to that strategy and our future growth, as it will allow us to scale to meet the needs of our customers and support our growth. We chose Temenos because we wanted a best-in class core-banking platform that can support us for the long term in an ever-changing marketplace. We look forward to the exciting changes ahead.”
