It streamlines the bank’s workflows across the front, middle and back office, while consolidating its systems into a single platform. Regulatory checks are fully integrated into the new core platform, which further strengthens CTBC Bank’s risk management capabilities as it moves to offer more sophisticated investment products and services across jurisdictions.

Our new core platform supports us in further expanding our private banking offering and streamlining operations while ensuring compliance with regulations across different markets.

Thanks to our specialized core platform, we empower CTBC Bank to further extend its digital capabilities, optimize its processes, and create an exceptional banking experience for its private banking clients. We take pride in the role Avaloq plays in helping CTBC Bank to grow its private banking business in Asia, and we look forward to further strengthening our partnership over the long term.”
