Cooperative Bank in Płońsk and Lubaczów
Client in the first place
Details of implementation
The key element of the implementation was the development of common processes, because despite using similar tools, each bank had a different approach to product sales and customer service.
Therefore, in the first stage of the project Asseco focused on creating uniform standards, including the chart of accounts, accounting schemes, product tree, internal processes and distribution channels.
The development of synergies in the area of services was necessary so that institutions could increase the efficiency of the platform use and reduce customer service costs. Despite the definition of common accounting, sales and management information processes, Asseco made sure that the cooperative banks would retain full business autonomy in the following areas:
• shaping the value of commercial parameters in contracts with customers
• the interest rate on deposit and credit products
• fees and commissions charged
• exchange rates
