Launched at the end of 2022, after more than 1 year of implementation, on January 14, 2024 CB Bank’s new Core Banking system upgrade project was officially completed.

This is an extremely important step for CB Bank in the digital banking trend with the goal of bringing better products and services to customers.

The Core Banking system is considered the central nucleus of all information and banking activities. The system processes data of all transactions in business subsystems and updates all transaction information to the database. In addition, Core Banking is also integrated with other systems and payment channels of the bank such as Core card, ATM, SWIFT, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking…

In recent years, the race for digital transformation has been extremely exciting, especially in the banking sector. Most banks are accelerating transformation to both improve service quality, attract customers, and optimize operational processes and promote growth.

Not out of that trend, CB Bank quickly implemented the core banking upgrading project. In just a short time, CB Bank has successfully upgraded the Core Banking system it is using to the most advanced new version today – Temenos R22 with the latest database version 19c.

In the coming time, CB Bank will continue to expand business activities, strengthen cooperation with strategic partners to exploit optimally and effectively on the newly upgraded system platform; Building an ecosystem with e-commerce partners to add value in “one-touch” service and meet all customer needs.

A series of images of AT&A Team participating in upgrading the Core banking system.

Starting 2023 with a strong belief in foreign markets, AT&A leaders are very proud of the business development from the sales unit that brought in 2 projects from a new customer, SMED Bank in Myanmar.

In addition to AT&A’s traditional ORACLE DBCare service package, there is also a consulting service on OEM cloud deployment, customer’s core-banking and CRM database systems implementation for backup.

Setting the next steady step for overseas markets, AT&A still connects with customers through the sharing difficulty culture. Together with Laos-Viet Bank to exploit foreign markets in Laos, AT&A sometimes is in supporting Lào Việt bank DBCare services even though the costs have not been received enough.

Up to now, the contract to monitor and optimize the ORACLE database system has been renewed yearly in usual.

Among foreign customers, coming to CB bank is a pioneering step for AT&A in Myanmar.

Always keep “giving before receiving” spirit, the trust of customers’ banks has come to AT&A from the core-banking system upgrade project since 2016. AT&A has joined hands with customers in the difficult early days. To help customers get accurate information, it has saved a lot of license’s costs and reduced the risk of business interruption when upgrading the system. ORACLE Dbcare 24×7 services are implemented specifically according to the support method – remote control and online processing. However, service quality always meets the customer requirements even in difficult economic – political conditions.

The project has been re-signed for many years. The 2022-2023 contract is also being implemented with the consensus of both sides. AT&A leaders always appreciate the trust from customers and are grateful for the professional working spirit of the AT&A’s DBA staffs in this project.
