CEC Bank, a state-owned Romanian lender, has tapped Temenos to upgrade its core banking systems for both retail and corporate operations.

The bank will transition from its legacy systems to the Temenos core banking platform, incorporating latest solutions for payments and data analytics.

This shift is aimed at enhancing the bank’s operational efficiency, agility, and ability to introduce new services quickly.

The Temenos platform offers broad functionality across retail, corporate banking, and payments, with scalability and cloud-readiness.

CEC Bank will deploy Temenos Payments for domestic and international transactions.

Furthermore, the bank will leverage the platform’s API-based architecture to streamline integration with existing systems and enable collaboration with third-party service providers.
