Euronet Provides Debit Card Outsourcing To Poland’s Newest Internet Bank
“Konto Inteligo” is Poland’s newest remote banking brand. With the backing of Bankgesellschaft Berlin (Polska) S.A. (a fully owned subsidiary of Bankgesellschaft Berlin AG), Inteligo has aggressive plans to expand service offerings throughout neighboring countries. It is the second bank in Poland to use Euronet’s debit card outsourcing services. The outsourcing program supported by Euronet’s operation center includes debit card, charge card and credit card management capabilities, low up-front investment cost, flexibility and speed to market. This debit card outsourcing program enables Inteligo’s clients to access their accounts from Euronet ATMs across Poland.
Euronet’s outsourcing program enables the issuance of the VISA Electron cards, authorizes financial transactions and provides access to VISA network gateway services. Through remote terminal access, daily transactions of Inteligo account holders will be monitored in the system, enabling the Bank to retain customer service functions in its own call center. The outsourcing program also provides direct access to all relevant client information for Inteligo’s consultants.
“Euronet has helped us to build the infrastructure required to support our card operations in a very short period of time,” said Grzegorz Dlugosz, Retail Banking Operations Director for Bankgesellschaft Berlin (Polska) SA. “We avoided capital outlays on the application and hardware purchases in addition to internal overhead. Now, we are able to offer our clients access to a more extensive set of financial transactions on Euronet’s ATM network in Poland. Our product offering is focused on individual and small business clients, who want the convenience associated with modern electronic banking solutions.”
“We are honored to aid Inteligo in their ambitious project to create a new remote bank,” said Michael Brown, Euronet Worldwide Chairman and CEO. “This debit card program will increase transaction volume across the Euronet ATM network in Poland. We enable start-up operations to function as established institutions by providing quick-to-market outsourcing solutions in local markets supported by high quality professional service.”
