JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global financial technology leader FIS^® (NYSE: FIS) is helping accelerate deposits growth for BMW Bank GmbH in Germany through a deposits-as-a-service capability which leverages FIS^® K-CORE24 and FIS^® K-e-Banking.

Through this deployment, FIS is helping BMW Bank provide more efficient and meaningful financial transactions and customer service in its lending and deposits business, giving the bank greater opportunities to unlock growth and gain a competitive advantage.

The tailored deposit-as-a-service capability includes FIS^® K-CORE24, a leading core-banking solution for German markets. Also included is a renewed FIS^® K-e-Banking platform designed to deliver a modern, secure, and user-friendly digital experience, which features two-factor authentication and merchant functions that enable direct transaction processing between the bank and merchants. The solution is modern, secure and user-friendly, helping to enhance the digital banking experience for its clients and their customers.
