New automotive bank launches with afb Credit Management Solution

afb wins Bank11 as a customer

Munich, 01.02.2011 - afb Application Services AG develops and operates the POS solution "Victor" for the newly founded Autobank Bank11. It covers the complete sales and purchase financing of new and used vehicles in the automotive trade and is based on the afb Credit Management Solution.

"Bank11 stands for affordable, personal, dealer-oriented, competent and reliable," comments Andreas Finkenberg, CEO: "Victor will support us with its highly automated business processes in delivering on this value proposition." Bank11 was launched in January 2011 and aims to become one of the top 3 manufacturer-independent automotive banks in Germany over the next five years.

"We are delighted that Bank11 is another newly founded bank that has chosen afb," comments afb CEO Jan Ph. Wieners. The introduction of the solution was unproblematic because the lean joint project team acted efficiently and did not have to take any legacy issues into account. In addition, Bank11 remained close to the afb standard, 90 percent of the individual customer requirements could be met through simple parameterization. Wieners: "afb operates the Victor POS solution and continues to develop it for Bank11. This allows the automotive bank to concentrate on its core competencies right from the start."

"With the afb solution, we have chosen a proven software and tailored it to the needs of Bank11," explains Dr Martin Straaten, Managing Director responsible for IT, processes and organization: "With Victor, Bank11 wants to offer high processing speed for merchant inquiries, constant accessibility, high availability and reliable responses."
