BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fiserv,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, announced today that AmBank
Group (The Group) has implemented a Fiserv solution to help
manage its asset liability risk. Through Fiserv, The Group will be able
to manage bank-wide liquidity analysis, asset/liability risk, interest
and profit-rate analysis and banking book Value at Risk analysis —
essential components of effective corporate governance and enterprise
risk management.
As one of Malaysia's largest banking groups, The Group needed a solution
that provided increased control and accuracy for its daily interest rate
risk and liquidity risk management. Additionally, The Group required an
integrated risk framework to perform valuation and sensitivity analysis
and to support its regulatory compliance reporting related to liquidity.
The Group chose the Fiserv solution based on its ability to analyze risk
across both retail and treasury products and because non-product
information, such as contingencies and commitments, are able to be
incorporated into its modeling capabilities. Equally important is the
Fiserv team's understanding of the banking business products, commitment
and local presence and support in the region. Fiserv stands out among
its competitors as it has a proven track record of implementations in
Malaysia as well as other countries across Asia.
"With both active balance sheet risk management and compliance and
regulatory reporting more important than ever before, we needed a
solution that gave us a more detailed and scenario-based view of
potential rate and liquidity risks," said Bob Moffat, Head of Capital
and Balance Sheet Management at AmBank Group. "The Group went through a
rigorous analysis process to review the information required for the
asset liability management solution and define the appropriate models to
be adopted. We now have a holistic and highly proactive approach to
managing The Group's balance sheet."
"It is essential for banks worldwide to take a comprehensive integrated
approach to risk management, incorporating robust liquidity management
and balance sheet market risks management. Not only is this necessary
for meeting regulatory requirements, but also for ensuring effective
corporate governance," said Clement Ooi, managing director, Asia Pacific
Operations, Risk and Compliance, Fiserv. "With the continued growth and
activity in the Asia-Pacific markets, Fiserv remains focused on
providing fully integrated advanced risk solutions that answer the
particular needs of dynamic organizations like AmBank Group."
