Evergrowing Bank modernizes treasury and pre-trade compliance with Adenza’s Calypso solution
Commercial Chinese bank goes live with Adenza for front-to-back treasury as part of its technology modernization and risk-management optimization program
Adenza today announced that Evergrowing Bank Co. Limited has selected Adenza’s Calypso Treasury front-to-back solution to support its modernization, consolidation, and risk management strategy, as well as expanded cross-asset front-office support, including pre-trade compliance for money market, fixed income, and FX products.
Driven by the need to manage treasury during unprecedented market conditions, Evergrowing Bank required a real-time, flexible and scalable pre- to post-trade platform. The Calypso Treasury solution unlocks efficiencies and sets up the bank for future requirements as well as businesses expansion. The solution enables banks to increase business agility and better support modernization, local-market growth, and increased volumes. It also speeds up time-to-market for its new product offerings such as derivatives.
Adenza offers a consolidated end-to-end approach based on global best practices. This in turn enables financial institutions like the Evergrowing Bank to benefit from an enterprise-wide, cross-asset view of its books − FX, money market, interest rates, equity, commodities, and derivatives − for holistic risk management in real-time and on a single platform. In addition, the rich implementation and service capabilities from Kmerit (Suzhou), Adenza’s local partner, greatly enhanced the overall client experience. In fact, Evergrowing Bank was recently awarded the China Credit Award for Best Intelligent Risk Management Platform at the Banking Digital Innovation (China) Summit 2023. This is a testament to the bank’s risk-management and forward-looking technology efforts in collaboration with Adenza and Kmerit.
As a consolidated platform, Calypso is ideally suited to the Evergrowing Bank’s needs, enabling it to effectively modernize its treasury ecosystem and scale for efficiency and agility. This solution also drives straight-through processing (STP), new real-time valuation, compliance and risk metrics − a solid foundation for expanding our business. The Calypso platform is delivered in partnership with Kmerit Information Science & Technology Company Ltd. for battle-tested best practices and an accelerated Calypso implementation timeline.
