Our story
We are a group of experts who live and breathe Pricing &
Billing for Banks. Together we have almost a century of
experience and our competence comes from all sides of the
equation, being former bankers, business architects,
analysts and technical. We understand the customer value as
well as the business value of the bank and most important
the infrastructure and technical difficulties of Bank IT. We
have been part of the business teams at the procuring banks,
project teams at the bank responsible for implementing the
solutions and the implementation teams at the technology
providers, international experience with specific focus on
European requirements.
All our past experiences called out an obvious and clear
need for banks in this region - an out of the box solution
that can be implemented with speed and with limited
customization, while getting the benefits from using a
standard product.
This thought led to the development of our product that was
built specific to that purpose. Our vision is to help the
Banks consolidate the Pricing & Billing functions into a
modern and standard product enabling a future proof
solution.
