Piraeus Bank Addresses XVA Requirements with Quantifi’s Single Solution

Piraeus Bank (Piraeus) is the largest bank in Greece, in terms of assets, and is considered the most innovative in the Greek market.

To keep pace with market conditions and ensure compliance with stringent regulation, Piraeus recognised the need to adapt their risk analytics infrastructure to enhance interoperability with other core systems and align front, middle and back office functions. Senior management also wanted to improve risk control, reduce operational inefficiencies and optimise total cost of risk by streamlining processes, IT and operating models.
