The awards ceremony was held in conjunction with The Asian Banker Summit 2014
ICICI Bank and its technology partner Nucleus Software have been named the winners of the Best Lending Platform Project Award during the eighth Asian Banker Technology Implementation Awards Programme, held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur on May 21st 2014. The awards ceremony was held in conjunction with The Asian Banker Summit 2014, the foremost annual meeting for decision makers in the financial services industry in the Asia Pacific region.
ICICI Bank and its technology partner Nucleus Software introduced MARC, a mobile-based Automation of Receipts on Collection Activities Processing System (CAPS), a solution that allows customers to make payment anytime, anywhere while eliminating the need for hand-written receipts. This mobile-based software has been implemented on Android and Symbian OS. It updates transaction details, generates payment receipts on a paired blue-tooth printer, and pushes SMS and e-mail confirmations of transactions to the customer. The system enables straight-through processing and tracks payment on a real-time basis and has resulted in considerable cost savings by freeing up over 200 bank employees involved in physical receipt issuance and reconciliation and manual updating of receipt details into core systems. It has been implemented at 50 locations with 150 channel partners.
On this occasion, Ravi Pratap Singh, President & Head, Global Product Management, Nucleus Software said, “The award is an acknowledgement of our constant endeavour to exploit new technology capabilities to deliver business value to our customers.
