Comarch delivers an innovative system for business banking. It is a universal base that allows banks and financial institutions to build a digital ecosystem of services in the form of an omnichannel open banking platform. It is a set of ready-made components, processes and services, based on a microservices architecture, which gives banks the freedom to use, and even create this system with their own resources, without the need for support from any external IT company. Another flagship product is system that helps deliver personalized and relevant wealth services by leveraging traditional human expertise with intuitive, multi-module and cloud-enabled platform.

Marcin Warwas, who is responsible at Comarch, among other things, for the production, sales and implementation of loyalty systems, electronic document workflow systems and infrastructure services, emphasises that: “For nearly three decades, Comarch has maintained a steadfast commitment to investing in its products and services, subsequently distributing and implementing them on a global scale. This requires the use of ever-evolving cutting-edge IT technologies, ongoing investments in human resources, and the continual reinforcement of global business structures. This growth strategy hinges on the accumulation and consistent application of knowledge, aligning with customer needs. Such an approach enables effective adaptation to the latest market trends, including digitalisation, personalisation, AI, cloud computing and cost optimisation”, he added.
