BPCE International Ho Chi Minh City Branch is implementing the Sopra Banking Amplitude solution

Paris (ots) - BPCE International HCMC Branch has chosen to
implement the Sopra Banking Amplitude solution, as part of its
program to standardise IT systems used by BPCE Group's international
subsidiaries.

BPCE International Ho Chi Minh Branch is currently undertaking a
significant project to transform its IT system with Sopra Banking
Software, a banking solutions provider and trusted partner of over
600 banks in 70 countries.

BPCE International, which is responsible for the Group's retail
banking activity, has chosen the integrated core banking solution,
Sopra Banking Amplitude, for its international subsidiaries. Five of
the Group's subsidiaries have already chosen the Sopra Banking
Amplitude solution: BICEC in Cameroon; BCI in the Republic of the
Congo, BMOI in Madagascar, BTK in Tunisia and the Banque des
Mascareignes in Mauritius, and Natixis in Algeria. By combining
banking production functionalities with digital multi-channel
distribution functions, and broad business coverage, Sopra Banking
Amplitude is the choice solution for an integrated core banking
system.

In view of its project to bring together all of its current
subsidiaries on this banking platform, BPCE, launched its project to
migrate from its existing system to Sopra Banking Amplitude, on 29th
February. The work, which is currently being launched in Ho Chi Minh
City, should be completed over the next 10 months.

This new project with BPCE international is a sign of BPCE Group's
trust in Sopra Banking software to support them with their
international development, and it is also the first time that
Amplitude has been implemented in Vietnam.

The project's launch follows the transfer of the BPCE Group's
banking activities in Vietnam from Natixis to BPCE International,
which thus enables the Group to offer its services to small and
medium enterprises on the Vietnamese market, via the BPCE
international retail banking network. Philippe Garsuault, Chief
Executive Officer of BPCE International, commented 'Integrating the
Vietnamese subsidiary into BPCE strengthens our retail banking
network in a strategic country. Vietnam, which is the third most
populated country in Southeast Asia, has one of the fastest economic
growth rates in the region. Vietnam is increasingly opening itself up
to Africa, where we can count on our banks' presence to position
ourselves on in this business.'
