Bank drives transformation and navigates dynamic change with advanced payments platform and BPO service to provide its clients best in class technology
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR), a global Fintech leader, today announced that Hamburg Commercial Bank is now live using Broadridge’s Payments as a Service – a cloud-based new-generation platform and BPO operation – to transform the bank’s international payments (including TARGET2) processing for corporate clients based on PPI AG´s market leading payments platform.
Broadridge’s Payments as a Service will enable the bank to achieve significantly higher levels of operational efficiency through best-in-class straight-through processing and the dynamic resolution of processing exceptions. It will also provide the scalability to grow, capture new revenue streams and enhance the quality and range of client services without capacity or resource constraints. Hamburg Commercial Bank will also benefit from a more agile response to the ongoing challenges in payments driven by regulatory and dynamic market changes. The operating platform already includes necessary TARGET2 MX and SWIFT MX enhancements, while subsequent phases of the project will add a service for SEPA payments and SEPA instant payments.
“This payment service solution is another important contribution to our transformation, and it will make Hamburg Commercial Bank even more efficient. Our customers will benefit from this best-in-class technology platform, which our strong business operations team, together with Broadridge and PPI, will continue to build out over the coming months,” said Stefan Ermisch, CEO of Hamburg Commercial Bank.
“We are very pleased with the initial production phase, which was completed in the time scheduled, and we are confident that the other production phases ahead will also be successfully implemented. We look forward to continued good collaboration and a long-term partnership with Broadridge and PPI,” added Daniel Roth, Head of Strategy & Transformation at Hamburg Commercial Bank.
