Gaston Peralta, Vice President of Business Development for Latin America and the Caribbean for Financial Software Systems, commented, "Global Bank will be Financial Software Systems' third implementation of Spectrum in Panama.

Spectrum continues to be well received by banks across Latin America as Financial Software Systems continues to add new Spectrum clients in Mexico, Central America and South America. Global Bank will use Spectrum to expand its Wealth Management and Private Banking activities in Panama and in Central America. Licensing Spectrum's Client Portal and Relationship Management Portal allows Global Bank to utilize the internet as a very efficient and very secure distribution network for both client-facing and bank-facing Private Banking activities. Global Bank's use of Spectrum Wealth for its client investment and international operations will advance the bank's quest for client service excellence and will position the bank as a provider of the latest wealth management technology.
