Demand for enhanced customer experience and operational efficiency drives replacement of legacy lending system

Infosys Finacle, part of EdgeVerve Systems, a product subsidiary of Infosys (NYSE: INFY),  today announced that Mediterranean Bank (the Bank), one of the leading Maltese banks, has gone live on the Finacle Lending Module. The Bank has replaced its existing lending solution with Finacle to provide a unified, consistent platform for its corporate customers.

The move to Finacle Lending will provide the Bank a flexible solution with the ability to offer various types of loans to meet customer requirements faster and at a lower cost, thereby enhancing its overall revenues.

The Lending Module is a new addition to Mediterranean Bank’s existing suite of Finacle applications, which includes Finacle Core Banking, Treasury and Corporate Online Banking. Over the years Mediterranean Bank has successfully extended its services beyond Malta by opening a bank subsidiary in Belgium, leveraging the multi-entity capabilities of the Finacle solution suite.
