Lugano/Zagreb, July, 2021 — Cornèr Bank Group, issuer of credit and prepaid cards to private individuals and businesses in Europe, has reached a major milestone in its digital transformation journey by completing migration of its card portfolios across all products and markets to a modern, consolidated solution. Vestigo is a European software provider in cards and account-to-account payments space, and its card management system (CMS) is the key component of the overall solution at Cornèr.
Cornèr Bank Group issues more than 2.1 million credit and prepaid, Visa, Mastercard and Diners cards directly and through partnerships with hundreds of organizations of various sizes in a B2B2C / co-brand business model. The new solution, managed in-house on a single instance, will further improve innovation and quality of service to Cornèr Bank Group’s partners and ultimate cardholders, as well as enhance internal efficiency. Vestigo’s integrated, modular, “multi-everything” solution is fully customer centric, can manage all types of cards, as well as account-to-account payments, and allows for easy integration leveraging 200+ APIs.
This large-scale implementation and migration project was designed to minimize risk and consisted of multiple phases taking into account requirements regarding different markets, products and legacy systems.
Ing. Vittorio Cornaro, Chief Executive Officer of Cornèr Bank Group, said: “Partnering with a trusted partner like Vestigo helps us modernize and consolidate our pan-European card business, which is the key step of our strategy to transform Cornèr into an agile bank delighting our clients and partners every day with best-in-class products and services”.
Simone Tettamanti, CIO at Cornèr Banca, added: This complex, large-scale project was an excellent example of two organizations working together successfully as trusted partners towards a common goal, using agile approach. This modern platform will facilitate Cornèr’s business growth and provide us with flexibility to adjust to evolving customer requirements in the future.”
Kata Kamenski, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Vestigo said: “We’re incredibly proud to work with Cornèr, as this further validates Vestigo’s functionality fit, as well as delivery ability fit with sophisticated, innovative financial institutions. Vestigo continues growing strongly, driven by its differentiating capability to drive convergence across cards and account-to-account payments. Our solution is scalable and can be deployed as on-prem, cloud installation or SaaS.”
