FinCube

Comprehensive and reliable data is a crucial issue in the banking sector since this forms the basis for all analyses and decisions. Moreover, advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics are opening up new areas of competitive advantage. Key to maximising opportunities is a master database – a single source of truth. This is ensured by FinCube’s financial data warehouse that collects and validates information from all banking activities. Moreover, FinCube provides advanced capabilities for data analyses.

Most successful business decisions are made using accurate, up-to-date information. As the single source of truth for all financial and risk-related data, FinCube is an essential prerequisite to fulfil requirements for making specific and strategic decisions.
