- Polaris to Power the Bank’s Transformational Initiative towards Financial Inclusion

Polaris Software (POLS.BO), a leading global Financial Technology Company, today announced that Vietnam Bank of Social Policies (VBSP) has chosen Polaris’ Intellect^[TM] Global Universal Banking M180 (GUB) to centralise its operations across the bank. Polaris will offer the bank its Intellect Core and Lending Modules, enabling them to handle traditional banking products in an integrated and efficient manner. VBSP will replace its legacy system and leverage Intellect offerings for its ambitious growth plans.

Intellect GUB M180 is an end-to-end SOA based Core Banking solution with multi-currency, multi-branch and multi-banking capabilities to transform banking across all 64 branches of the bank. The implementation will help the bank switch from its manual operations to an automated process. Its functionality will give the bank a global view of customer accounts and relationships, with up-to-date information on accounts and transactions.

The new Core Banking System will enable VBSP to enjoy fully centralized data across the bank, providing consolidated and comprehensive information to help attain a universal view of the bank.
