Surecomp, the leading global provider of trade finance solutions for banks and corporations, announced today that Isbank AG, the European arm of Turkey’s leading bank Türkiye Is Bankasi A.S., has commenced production with DOKA 5, Surecomp’s configurable back-office solution for documentary trade finance.

Headquartered in Frankfurt, Isbank leads its parent company’s international expansion plans, and promotes close commercial ties between Turkey and Western Europe. Recognizing that trade finance is vital to building strong international operations; Isbank was interested in improving upon its manually operated trade finance services. It also required a trade finance system that could interface with its Avaloq Core Banking System.

After licensing DOKA 5 in Q2/2015, Isbank rapidly went live with the advanced trade finance system.

“We recognize the value for our corporate customers of operating a state-of-the-art trade finance solution," said Uzay Ersin, Corporate Operations Manager at Isbank. "The DOKA 5 system meets our specific need for a comprehensive bank back-office trade finance solution that simplifies the administrative workload, optimizes processes, and saves time and money for both Isbank and our corporate clients. In today’s financial environment, the importance of real-time control and monitoring is paramount, and DOKA 5 helps us achieve these goals as well.”

“DOKA 5 provides a market-ready operational environment that enables banks to better manage their trade finance portfolios, achieve greater workflow control, and gain improved visibility into cash flows, risk exposure and asset management," said Eyal Hareuveny, Surecomp President. "Built on a flexible and scalable platform, DOKA 5 also delivers on-demand reporting across multiple entities and business units, giving Isbank greater insight into their trade finance activities.”
