Unicredit Group has selected FinArch's Financial Studio Compliance solution to facilitate submission of the PNR (Posición de no Residentes) to the Bank of Spain. The scalable solution will enable the Group flexible reporting in this ever changing regulatory environment. Specifically beneficial to multi-national banks as Unicredit Group, they have now a sophisticated solution in house that allow them to interchange reporting information as all reporting is processed on the same platform. With this single system Unicredit's local branches will be able to generate reports which need to be submitted to the local regulator on the one hand. And on the other hand, it will facilitate their reporting on a consolidated level.

The Head of Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank, AG, Sucursal en España (part of Unicredit Group), comments: "For Unicredit Group it was important that the selected vendor had proven experience with Spanish regulatory reporting, and FinArch clearly has this. Moreover, their highly advanced strategic solution impressed us very much. And, in addition, FinArch's offering will also allow us to grow in the future without the need to re-visit the solution selection process."
