EVRY signs important agreement with 8 savings banks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Oslo, 17 December 2012) EVRY has signed an agreement for the supply of a range
of banking solutions to Haugesund Sparebank and a further seven savings banks in
the south and south-west of Norway. The agreement is a renewal of an existing
contract and will run for a further four years. EVRY will provide new services
including a new lending system and MobilBank 2.0.
"We see this as a vote of confidence and confirmation that EVRY's services meet
the requirements of this type of bank for state-of-the-art and cost-effective
solutions. The agreement demonstrates that EVRY continues to be a competitive
and attractive supplier for banking and finance customers in Norway", explains
CEO Terje Mjøs, EVRY ASA.
IT collaboration between savings banks
Haugesund Sparebank plays the lead role for procurement of IT services on behalf
of the eight savings banks. In addition to Haugesund Sparebank, the following
banks are part of the agreement with EVRY: eEtne Sparebank, Flekkefjord
Sparebank, Lillesands Sparebank, Luster Sparebank, Skudenes & Aakra Sparebank,
Søgne og Greipstad Sparebank, and Voss Sparebank.
"It was important for the eight savings banks to agree a long-term contract with
an IT supplier that understands our requirements and that can ensure that we
have access to the key solutions that will help to ensure the profitable
development of our business over the years ahead", explains Knut Grinde
Jacobsen, Managing Director of Haugesund Sparebank.
In aggregate, the eight savings banks have total assets in excess of NOK 30
billion and have around 125,000 customers. For a number of years, the eight
banks have been among the most cost-efficient of the Norwegian savings banks in
terms of costs relative to total assets.

group access to a complete portfolio of solutions and services. The new

deliver a new solution to streamline and improve the efficiency of lending
processes.
EVRY will also supply solutions in the areas of customer dialog services,
internet banking, branch office operations, card and payment services and
message distribution, as well accounting and reporting. EVRY will also provide
operating services for the banking solutions. In addition, EVRY will provide an
enhanced security service for the self-service channels to guard against future
fraud attempts that target the banks' customers.

competitiveness and ensure that they are seen as an attractive partner for
customers in their local markets.
