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

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.
Our product gives the Bank the opportunity to focus on their
digitalization drive without having to worry about how and
where to price and bill. Innovation and new products will be
easier than ever, which will lead to quick time to market
and better customer experience, resulting in increased
market share and revenue.

implement with minimal time and cost.
