They can also earn points for eVouchers, financial gifts, or charity donations through each transaction.

PVcomBank has been running on Temenos Core for retail and corporate banking for over a decade. By introducing Temenos Digital, PVcomBank has seamlessly integrated its front and back-office capabilities on a single platform linking on-premise data centers and the cloud.
