Paymentworld Europe upgrades core banking system to Oracle
PoliticMag Press Release : October 13, 2020
Malta-based Fintech company, Paymentworld Europe Ltd, has upgraded the software powering several of its payment services to Oracle Flexcube, a market-leading core banking system used by some of the biggest banks around the world.
The new system went live last week with the transition going smoothly without any critical defects. The implementation and training process has taken around a year and involved decommissioning and replacing the company’s previous banking system.
Jens Podewski, co-founder and CEO of Paymentworld Europe Ltd., explained that “this development represents a significant investment from the company that will improve operational efficiency, reduce time to market for upcoming products, and it also greatly expands our Open Banking capabilities. This is a very exciting and important milestone for the company”.
In conjunction with the implementation of Oracle, the company has rebranded its online payment account service, IBAN4U, with a fresh visual identity and website (www.iban4u.com). IBAN4U, now powered by Oracle Flexcube, is a business payment account targeted at companies who want to avoid bureaucratic banks and open an account quickly.
Stefan Haenel, co-founder and CFO, commented that “we launched IBAN4U last year and we are very pleased with how it has been received by our local and European partners. Because of its success, we are doubling-down on our strategy to push this product in the European market. A proven core system like Oracle and a new, modern brand provide us with a great platform to move forward and expand our business substantially”.
