Bangalore (India), May 31, 2007: Infosys Technologies today announced that Bahraini Saudi Bank (BSB), a leading provider of retail and commercial banking services to customers in the Kingdom of Bahrain has chosen Finacle to replace its legacy core banking solution.

Mr. Khalid Shaheen, Chief Executive Officer, Bahraini Saudi Bank, said “BSB is well positioned today to carve out a leadership position in both, the retail as well as the commercial banking space. Armed with tailored financial solutions for mid-market companies in Bahrain and a strong ambition to achieve improvements in customer service delivery standards, we have chosen Infosys as a strategic technology partner based on their international presence, technological strengths, and domain expertise that specifically addresses the unique needs of BSB.”
Speaking on the occasion, Sanat Rao, Global Head – Sales, Finacle said, “Our association with Bahraini Saudi Bank is significant as it marks our first installation in the Kingdom of Bahrain. We are proud to commence this engagement and are committed to ensuring that BSB attains its growth ambitions. The Bank’s selection of Finacle ahead of global competition is yet another reinforcement of Finacle’s leadership in the core and universal banking space in the Middle East well as around the world.”
