Frankfurt International Bank Chooses FIS for Cutting-Edge Treasury Operations

FIB has opted for the FIS Treasury & Risk Manager – Quantum Cloud Edition, a comprehensive platform designed to deliver integrated front-to-back treasury coverage as soon as the bank commenced operations. By leveraging this advanced technology, FIB aims to establish a robust infrastructure that is free from the burdens of legacy systems, which have increasingly become a hindrance for financial institutions grappling with rising IT costs and regulatory pressures.

Andrés Choussy, President of Capital Markets at FIS, emphasized the importance of modern infrastructure in today’s fast-evolving banking landscape. He stated, “The pace of change in treasury and risk management is accelerating,” highlighting the operational challenges that banks face when using legacy software. FIB's strategic decision to collaborate with FIS positions the bank at the forefront of innovation in financial technology.

The partnership has already yielded impressive results. Within just ten weeks of implementation, FIB successfully went live with the first phase of the treasury solution. Peter Woeste Christensen, Director at Magpie, the external consultant guiding FIB, noted the project sets a new benchmark for how next-generation banks can deploy institutional-grade treasury infrastructure. “FIB's implementation reflects a broader market shift toward standardization across products and processes,” he stated.

The rapid deployment not only demonstrates FIB's commitment to operational excellence but also showcases the efficiency of the FIS Quantum platform, which provides end-to-end treasury workflows that cover key asset classes and lifecycle events.

Florian Pointner, Head of Treasury at FIB, expressed the bank's deliberate approach to selecting infrastructure that aligns with its mission of supporting export finance and complex cross-border transactions. For FIB, operational resilience and strong governance are non-negotiable elements of their treasury operations. The FIS Treasury & Risk Manager – Quantum Cloud Edition has equipped the bank with the necessary capabilities to deploy resources effectively and create value for their clients.

Teemu Huotari, Manager at ALM Partners, described the ambitious timeline set for the project and lauded the collective expertise and dedication of all stakeholders involved. "The modern cloud-native treasury solution has ensured that FIB positions itself at the forefront of the operational treasury landscape,” he said.

Frankfurt International Bank AG’s strategic decision to partner with FIS marks a pivotal moment in its journey as a newly established bank. By adopting a cloud-native treasury solution, FIB is not just enhancing its operational capabilities; it is also setting a precedent for future entrants in the banking sector. As the demand for efficient and resilient banking solutions grows, FIB’s innovative approach serves as a powerful example of how modern technology can transform financial operations from the ground up.

With its headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, FIB focuses on providing specialized export finance and mission-critical banking solutions to globally active clients. As it embarks on this new chapter, the bank is well-positioned to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving financial landscape with cutting-edge technology and a commitment to excellence.
