Imdaad Naguib DGM IT, CDB added “Signing up with Polaris Intellect for the last year has created the technological framework that will cater to all requirements of CDB as we rapidly expand our geographic presence, this has enabled us to connect to the overall banking system in the country by participating as a Sri Lanka Interbank Payment System (SLIPS) member. It has also helped to get integrated with the single largest ATM network in the country with issuance of CDB Visa International debit card.”
CDB opted for Intellect CBS because its advanced technology offers high performance whilst enabling it to have a highly configurable functionality which ensures that minimal customisation is required as most of the current and future requirements including business process changes, can be fulfilled using configuration. This together with its around-the-clock real-time accessibility and availability and the fact that it is web enabled, will allow the CDB to rapidly realise its growth and expansion plans.

There are nine specialised banks, 47 registered finance companies and 24 licensed commercial banks in Sri Lanka, which offers a huge gap between demand and supply to meet the emerging needs of these institutions and Polaris is bullish about exploring these opportunities.”
Faiq Faaiz, Executive Vice President, Millennium IT said, “As the local business partner of Polaris, MillenniumIT is excited to play an integral part in the Intellect implementation at CDB, which is a key role in delivering technology to benefit the business expansion plans of CDB. We firmly believe that our experience in core banking technology and expertise in local banking and financial services have enabled in the smooth implementation of the solution at CDB.
