Sevenval GmbH, a subsidiary of YOC Group, a European provider of mobile internet portals and Wincor Nixdorf, a provider of IT solutions for banks, have formed a strategic partnership, to pool the expertise of both companies to enable financial institutions to have access to the mobile world.

The company has reported that the new browser-based software – PC/E Mobile Banking, ensures that banks can offer financial services such as account information, funds transfers or sales of securities by mobile phone – anytime, anywhere. The software makes use of the bank’s existing IT infrastructures and provides access to the mobile banking channel to the customers.

Thomas Certa, Head of Solution Marketing at Wincor Nixdorf, said: “The customization of the output format to the different mobile terminal devices guarantees that the complete solution is easy for bank customers to use and that the technical work, time involved and costs to banks remain modest. Our cooperation with Sevenval means that we will be able to rely on technology components that have proven themselves on the market. This will help us in our ongoing, long-term objective of strengthening our solution portfolio for mobile banking and mobile payment.”

Sascha Langfus, a member of Sevenval’s management, said: “The solution’s flexible architecture also allows product information and other services such as financial information and ATM finders to be added. Owing to its multichannel product portfolio and international presence, Wincor Nixdorf is an ideal partner for us in our continued expansion of our leading market position in mobile banking.”
