Central Bank of Seychelles Goes Live with Polaris’ Intellect Core Banking System for Central Banks

VICTORIA, Seychelles & CHENNAI, India, Thursday, December 2nd 2010 [ME NewsWire]:

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Polaris Software, a leading Financial Technology company, announced that Central Bank of Seychelles, the central authority responsible for all monetary issues in the country, has gone live with Polaris’ IntellectTM Core Banking System (CBS) for Central Banks.


Powered by our innovative Xtreme Account Posting Gateway (XAP) Technology, the solution enables the Central Bank to exercise Transaction Per Day Per Account linked processing for associated banks across Seychelles. To overcome the bottlenecks created by millions of transaction requests that comes to the Central Bank every second from banks across the country, the new system implements XAP technology to create self managed virtual multiple gateways, which enables concurrent, multiple postings on a single account. The number of gates increments according to the number of requests, ensuring real-time output.


IntellectTM CBS for Central Banks will replace Central Bank of Seychelles’ legacy system that was unable to handle growing volumes, affecting operational efficiency. The new platform contains modules unique to a Central Bank like Fresh Currency Notes Issuance, Management, Circulation, Destruction and Debt Management, on an auction module.


It will also enable Liquidity Management Services for associated banks and the Seychelles government on an intraday as well as long term basis. In accordance with international best practices and regulatory guidelines, the new solution will generate a special Enterprise General Ledger (EGL) for the bank which will be IFRS compliant.


Pierre Laporte, Governor and Chairman, Central Bank of Seychelles said, “On our 32nd Anniversary, it is rather fitting to announce the implementation of Polaris’ IntellectTM Core Banking System (CBS) for Central Banks. Polaris’ distinctive edge in the financial technology domain and long standing performance benchmarks lead to its selection vis-à-vis other competitors.”


Suresh Kamath, Partner, Polaris Software said, “Working with the Central Bank of any country is a great opportunity, and to finish such a project ahead of time is indeed exciting. The new platform will minimize reconciliation issues, enable real-time Liquidity Management and ensure a strong Payment Infrastructure which will facilitate associated banks to seamlessly transact internally. IntellectTM Core Banking System (CBS) for Central Banks is a specialized offering targeted at central banks globally.”
