On 31 December 2021, Savings Banks Group and Digia signed an agreement under which Digia will provide Savings Banks Group with the Savings and Investment Service. The service consists of a system based on the Digia Financial Systems product family, infrastructure services and selected back-office functions. Going forward, functions like customers’ fund and share subscriptions will be handled by Digia’s service. The new service is set to be deployed in spring 2023.
The deployment of the new system is closely linked with Savings Banks Group’s strategic goal of offering the best set of personal and digital services in Finland. Digia’s service package allows for future development needs to be implemented in a flexible way and further improves the selection of wealth management services Savings Banks Group offers its customers.
“Savings Banks Group is continuing the development of its wealth management system by adopting the Savings and Investment Service offered by Digia. Effortless investment processes and the flexible development of services further the digitalisation of Savings Bank’s investment services and our ability to provide an excellent customer experience,” says Mika Laakkonen, Chief Business Officer, Wealth Management at Savings Banks Group.
“Digia’s goal is to offer wide-ranging services to organisations in the financial sector. The service package based on Digia’s own Financial Systems product family we are delivering to Savings Banks Group is an excellent example of this kind of wide-ranging and versatile approach. We also have expertise and complete processes for managing things like tightly regulated back-office functions, which usually suck up a significant amount of resources from financial-sector organisations but don’t provide a competitive edge. We are excited about the opportunity to work with Savings Banks Group,” comments Sami Vallinkoski, Director, Digia Financial Services.
