Aktia's renews its core banking system

Aktia has chosen the international provider of banking software systems,
Temenos´ T24 core banking system, and the Swedish Emric's credit processing
system, as new platform for core banking solutions. The migration to the new
platform will be done in collaboration with the current service provider,
Samlink. A new agreement with Samlink on the provision of services during the
transitional period, as well as the services that Samlink will provide in the
future has been made. 

The investment in a new platform for the core banking system is made as a part
of Aktias Action Plan 2015, and the estimated cost of this investment is €30
million. The project will be completed in 2015. 

The new core banking system is estimated to bring annual savings of approx. €5
million. The implementation of a modern core banking system also enables more
cost-effective processes.
