Temenos has just picked up another bank: KBC Bank Ireland has signed up for both the company’s core banking system, T24, as well as Temenos’ Insight Business Intelligence Suite.

Deployment of T24 will help the bank focus on more personalized customer service and on delivering innovative banking products, according to KBC Bank Ireland Chief Executive Wim Verbraeken. The move is part of a broader rollout that includes providing full online and mobile banking capability to its retail customers.

Among the selling points of T24 was the platform’s “product-building capability.” In the words of Jean-Michel Hilsenkopf, Temenos Regional Director for Europe, this will allow KBC Bank Ireland to bring new financial products to market quickly “without the need to write bespoke code.”
