"Fiserv offers IBQ a single solution with a single database to manage all financial crime risk. It is fully equipped with a unique level of flexibility and independence to add or change scenarios in response to ever-changing crime threats."

For IBQ, the vast global experience of Fiserv in mitigating risk related to financial crime was a key factor in the selection. With more than 1,000 financial institutions already using the FCRM Platform worldwide, this knowledge and experience is a vital component of the partnership to help the bank achieve the highest standards of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance and fraud prevention.

"Strong local and global references were vital in helping us make our decision," said Falah. "Fiserv is a well-established global provider of financial services technology and will be a reliable long-term partner as IBQ expands its operations in the coming years."

"Fiserv forged a close working relationship with IBQ during the selection process and we look forward to building on that relationship as we go through implementation and beyond," said Tom Tobin, vice president and general manager, Financial Crime Risk Management, Fiserv. "By providing clients like IBQ with international industry best practices and expert consultants, we can ultimately put them in control of continually evaluating and optimizing their own risk protection as their operations expand and new threats are identified."
