Temenos Reports Strong First Half In Sales; Announcement Coming
MALVERN, Penn. –– Temenos, the software specialist for banking and finance, announced a strong first half in sales and implementations, saying the numbers demonstrate the global company’s momentum in the United States. The company reported that during the first half of the year one Top 20 U.S. bank successfully went live on Temenos’ award-winning core banking platform and payments hub, becoming the first Tier 1 bank to do so in the United States.
Over the past six months, Temenos said it has also witnessed steady growth across product lines. Since February, the Lifecycle Management Suite has been selected by 16 financial institutions, including Alaska-based Credit Union 1, a $1-billion CU that is implementing the Temenos Account Origination, Loan Origination, Collection and Recovery modules.
“During our discussions, Temenos was able to demonstrate several major areas where the Lifecycle Management Suite could increase our efficiency, and we really connected with their philosophy,” said Terri Colson, Senior Project Manager, Credit Union 1. “By consolidating platforms we have been able to break down the silos between our departments, foster collaboration across divisions, and streamline our processes.”
For the first time, Credit Union 1 has been empowered to customize the experience they offer for each of their 86,000 account holders, whether they make contact online, through mobile or in person with a branch employee, Temenos reported.
Under the new growth strategy, Temenos said it has also signed 20 banks and credit unions to join over 1,000 other customers that utilize Temenos’ market-leading Risk & Compliance products.
“With recent industry reports indicating that in a span of five years, regulatory fines rose 45 times over the original fees, these institutions have set themselves up for success,” the company said. “With Temenos Compliance Services, a module within the Risk & Compliance product family, these institutions can efficiently navigate the complex regulatory landscape. Customers benefit from access to compliance manuals, a Temenos-run forum, and subject matter experts with extensive expertise in regulatory matters such as BSA/AML, Fair Lending, MLA and HMDA.”
Jay Mossman, CEO of North America, Temenos, added, “Temenos’ cutting-edge technology empowers progressive financial institutions to transform their businesses in order to stay ahead of an ever-changing marketplace. This is a goal we take to heart. The progress we’ve made over the last six months with community banks, credit unions and top tier banks shows that our message and our products are resonating with the financial services industry in the United States. With our continued focus on the financial services market, we are positioned for success, and I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.”
Temenos said it will also be making another announcement Sept. 7 regarding its next strategic move in North America.
