CheckFree (Nasdaq: CKFR) today announced that Degussa Bank GmbH, the German bank owned
by ING-DiBa, the direct banking subsidiary of Dutch ING Group NV, has selected
CheckFree's Accurate NXG(TM) to automate its cash, securities and commission
account reconciliations. CheckFree's Operational Risk Management solution will
increase the efficiency of the bank's reconciliations process, enabling it to
potentially manage operational risk more effectively.
Built on the four core competencies of reconciliation, exception management,
workflow and business intelligence, CheckFree's Accurate NXG will be deployed in
Degussa Bank's headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. The solution will automate a
previously manual reconciliations process that was proving time-consuming and
costly. By using a single reconciliation platform from CheckFree, Degussa Bank
will ensure data integrity and efficiency across its various transaction types,
thereby reducing potential risk throughout the organisation.
With the CheckFree solution, Degussa Bank will improve the investigation and
resolution of transaction errors, and ultimately reduce the incidence of errors
in the future. CheckFree's Accurate NXG is optimised for reconciliation
processing, through multiple match rules, as well as advanced data repair and
enrichment capabilities. The solution also drives business reporting to deliver
analysis and solid metrics to senior management to improve risk management.
Dirk Van de Velde, vice president, continental Europe at CheckFree Software,
said, "Degussa Bank is a key addition to our client portfolio in Europe and
reinforces our growing reputation in the German financial services industry. By
replacing largely manual processing with our solution, Degussa Bank will not
only increase processing efficiencies, but will also free up existing staff to
perform more value-added analysis, enabling operational risk to be managed more
effectively."
