SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2002
Today at The Asian Banker Summit 2002, Corillian Corp. (Nasdaq:CORI), a leading global provider of eFinance solutions, announced that Arab-Malaysian Banking Group (AMBG), Bumiputra-Commerce Bank Berhad (BCBB) and RHB Bank Berhad (RHB), three of the top five commercial banks in Malaysia, have all launched Internet banking sites powered by Corillian.
All three projects involved the implementation of the Corillian Voyager Internet banking platform, a robust and secure system with the ability to handle large volumes of online customer traffic. The platform enables the banks to offer their customers Internet banking, including paying bills, viewing account balances and transactions online. As the banks develop their systems, customers will be able to take advantage of funds transfer, secure messaging, portal facilities, alerts and personalized financial management tools.
Corillian Voyager -- The Operating System for eFinance(TM) -- is a high-performance platform that allows for the delivery of financial services to customers over the Internet. Voyager provides a link between a financial institution's legacy host system and its consumers, using Internet browsers, personal financial management software and Internet-ready wireless devices. Voyager's open architecture design allows an institution to quickly integrate emerging technologies, deploy the platform in-house or in a secure data center, and customize the entire Internet banking presentation to its customers.
Corillian, already a leading player in the U.S. with a strong track record for providing cutting-edge eFinance solutions to financial services institutions, is demonstrating that eFinance solutions developed for the U.S. market can be adapted for other markets. With over 50 financial institutions already licensing the Voyager product around the world, the Corillian Voyager platform offers unparalleled levels of scalability for leading banks that are planning to enhance their Internet operations internationally.
"These launches represent the next major step forward for us in Asia," said Giles Hewson, Corillian International's business director for Asia. "The competitive nature of South East Asian markets is resulting in a greater liberalization and the rapid adoption of new technologies such as Corillian Voyager. Domestic banks that do not invest in world-class eFinance software may find that international banks are soon able to `cherry-pick' its best customers with online services, leaving the domestic banks with unprofitable business. Corillian Voyager is proven, reliable and quick to install and this combination has enabled forward thinking banks like AMBG, BCBB and RHB to take the initiative and provide the benchmark for Internet banking in this region."
