Calypso Technology, Inc., the standard for treasury and capital markets software, has signed its first client agreement in the Philippines, furthering its rapid 2015 expansion in Asia Pacific. The onboarding of China Banking Corporation (China Bank), one of the top banks in the country, follows similar successes in China, Hong Kong, and Korea during the last several months.
By upgrading its treasury system with the Calypso front-to-back trade processing solution, China Bank has reduced its dependence on custom development and the operational risks associated with manual operations.
“At the core of our decision was Calypso’s dedication to understanding our unique business needs,” said Antonio Espedido Jr., Executive Vice President & Head of the Financial Capital Markets & Investment Segment at China Bank. “Calypso’s modern technology is highly scalable and will support our business direction and allow us to achieve our aggressive growth targets in the future. Together with its local partner Kris FinSoftware, I am confident that Calypso can bring industry best practices to China Bank while retaining our local feel and expertise.”
“Collaborating with one of the leading banks in the Philippines in addressing their current issues is such an honor. We look forward to partnering with more banks locally as Calypso and Kris FinSoft continue the efforts to help banks’ treasury businesses,” said Sherrizah Lubigan, Business Development Manager at Kris FinSoftware, Inc.
“It’s always exciting for us to solve the local challenges of banks in a new country, and the core of this project is a software solution that can help the entire region,” said Mark Bell, Regional Manager at Calypso. “We are excited about more banks in the Philippines joining us, and bolstering our commitment to expand our services for the region.”
