EVRY ASA: Handelsbanken and EVRY enter into agreement in Finland

(Oslo, December 13, 2018) Handelsbanken in Finland and EVRY have entered into an agreement for the delivery of next-generation core banking and payment software solutions. The agreement represents a total contract value of approximately NOK 650 million and runs for a period of eight years (option to extend for additional two years). This is an important step for EVRY in the Finnish market as well as in relation to its strategy of continuing to grow its presence in the Nordic and international markets.

EVRY will deliver a complete portfolio of banking software solutions to Handelsbanken in Finland, serving both corporate and private banking customers. The contract includes delivery of core banking and payment software solutions, internet banking for personal and corporate customers, loan management and back office solutions for Handelsbankens’s employees, as well as selected card services. The solutions will be delivered as a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) solution, based on EVRY’s modern and cost-efficient software platform for end-to-end banking services. This will ensure that Handelsbanken continues to be at the forefront of delivering innovative and efficient services to its customers, and will facilitate Handelsbanken’s further growth in the Finnish market.

“EVRY’s services are already widely used by Handelsbanken in Norway for many years. EVRY’s software solution will give us a modern and configurable banking platform with extensive product development capabilities. Modernising our core banking system in this way will enable us to develop more efficient processes and thereby to provide better customer service”, comments Nina Arkilahti, the CEO of Handelsbanken in Finland.

“This agreement is an important milestone for EVRY’s deployment of next-generation core banking and payment solutions in Finland, and evidence that our banking platform is highly competitive internationally. It is a big vote of confidence from Handelsbanken in Finland to have chosen EVRY as a strategic partner. We will provide Handelsbanken with customer-centric core banking and payment solutions that will enable it to respond more quickly to changes and to be more agile in taking new value-adding services to market”, comments Wiljar Nesse, EVP Financial Services at EVRY.

With the new agreement, EVRY meets Handelsbanken’s need for simplification and reliability for its deliveries, while EVRY will also satisfy the bank’s quality and compliance requirements.
