OAB selected Misys TI Plus to improve the support to its customers and enhance its trade finance capabilities to meet growing customer demands and remain competitive. After a few months of comparative assessments Misys TI Plus was found to be the most functionally rich and the bank decided to adopt it for its trade finance and corporate banking operations. TI Plus is due to go live in November 2010 and will be integrated with the Equation core banking system, another Misys solution from which OAB has benefited for12 years.
