“We have taken one more important step towards improvement of the quality of the Danske bank services,” stated a business development service director of the Danske bank Norbertas Žioba. “With the help of this new subsystem, solving of many issues, which arise to our customers while using cards both abroad and in Lithuania, will be much more efficient.”

 

The Forbis specialists adapted a new FORPOST*Cards On-line subsystem to the Lithuanian IT standards and successfully implemented it in the Danske bank. The new system uses an interface which conforms to the international ISO8583:93 standard and is designed to connect the FORPOST banking information system of the Danske bank with the “First Data Lietuva” Lithuanian payment card processing centre in the real time mode. Due to integration of the systems, the final point of card operation authorisation is moved from the processing centre to the banking system. The card operation is confirmed after verification of the customer’s card and account data. It enables the bank to optimise IS resources, to reduce the risk of errors, and to provide a wider range of payment card services.

 

“Positive changes in the card system will be soon felt by all the Danske bank card holders,” emphasised CEO of the Forbis Company Andrej Zujev. “Not every bank may take advantage in the possibility to obtain the information on operations performed by payment cards all over the world in the real time mode. We are happy that our partner Danske bank today may compare well with the greatest leaders in terms of the quality of the provided services.”
