According to FIS, eCAS2 supports double-byte character sets and offers continual online, real-time services to customers regardless of end-of day processing or other batch cycles.

According to FIS, its platform has the ability to support the bank’s rapid growth plans as it expands from its origins as a single-city commercial bank into an operation with a strong regional presence.

The platform supports a hierarchical branch structure, allowing the bank to quickly bring new financial products to market and provides enhanced operational risk controls.

With the deployment of eCAS2, Bank of Hebei has successfully integrated data from numerous legacy sub-systems, including loans, payments and cards, to significantly ease consolidation and analysis of customer information and improve opportunities for cross-selling.

Bank of Hebei IT department head Tong Wang said with FIS and eCAS2, the bank has a superior software platform and a partner with a profound understanding of the Chinese banking business. This combination is critical to the bank’s success within China’s competitive financial services market.
