KALEIDO: Another customer for the Private Banking Hub of InCore Bank and SOBACO

Thanks to the merger of IT and business, the Swiss private bank has a complete range of bank- and order-specific end-to-end processes at its disposal for handling its banking transactions. With this private bank, another member joins the largest private banking hub based on Finnova Banking Software.

«I am very happy to welcome Kaleido Private Bank Ltd. to our client community. It is a great pleasure to experience the drive of this dynamic bank. The company completely reinvented and realigned itself within half a year.

Full outsourcing with InCore Bank and SOBACO allows us to focus on exactly what we do best - building long-term relationships with our clients based on transparency, trust and discretion.»
