modular, flexible and simple for any bank's needs

 

The hPLUS™ solution supports multi-currency, multi-branch accounting systems and unlike conventional banking applications, end-of-day processing can be done from any geogriphical location in the network. Inter-branch reconciliation is also done automatically. 

 

The workflow follows an event-action model. This means that busy executives can subscribe to balance sheet events that are triggered via an event monitor using the integrated mail transport. This monitor can also be extended to external mail client applications. 

 

The system alerts decision makers when crucial events occur at the bank. For example, the relationship manager is notified in case of a large deposit and withdrawal, or senior management is alerted in the event there are excesses over pre-sanctioned limits. 

 

Multiple complex limit systems offered by hPLUS™ tracks customer limits while taking into account various levels of complexities. Limits can be combined in various ways with sub-limits across multiple product lines in multiple branches in multiple currencies. 

 

managing risk

 

The hPLUS™ analytical tool (hAT) is a powerful decision making utility for day to day banking operations such as account analysis, risk management and credit decisions. Its flexible architecture allows accounts to be grouped at various levels for analysis. Grouping can be client-specific, category-specific, or ad-hoc via different query interfaces. Drill-down features with multiple views across branches, zones and countries are also available and enable effortless global monitoring of all activities. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is also possible to pass selected sets of accounts through the hAT tool from other options in hPLUS™. Profitability, turnover analysis, plotting of graphs, currency and stock emulation are only some of the various features available in this tool. Additionally, data from newly added modules appear automatically in hAT due to hPLUS™ integrated architecture. 

 

Another core strength of hPLUS™ is its external interfacing mechanism. This includes an integrated advanced teller system with automated cheque reading, integrated signature and document scanning, cheque printing, automated clearing systems, SWIFT interfaces, trading platform, Web & Mobile interfaces and integrated payment gateways, to name a few.

 

advance trade finance capabilities

 

The hPLUS™ Trade Finance module is designed to support either a fully centralized or branch based operation. The solution handles the complete document management cycle, including document reception, scanned images, automatically prints LCs in UCP 500 compliant format and covering schedules for all Trade Finance related activities. 

 

The application maintains the full lifecycle history - opening, amendments, document reception, payment, settlement, etc. for both import and export LCs including Transferable LCs , receives incoming LCs and converts them into outgoing messages (inclusive of nested messages) and transfers funds immediately through SWIFT. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The module is connected to the hPLUS™ hAT, Limit, Lien and Memo applications thereby providing highly effective tools for mitigation of risk and greater management control. This enables banks to provide effective customer service and efficient delivery times due to standardization and elimination of end-to-end bottlenecks.

The dynamic four-eyes principle is built-in as both compliance and control features adding inherent compliance capabilities to hPLUS™. Blacklist token management process qualified transactions. 

 

The system enables geographically distributed transaction lifecycles. This enhances transaction flows in hPLUS™ which are designed to inherently fulfil due diligence requirements across Multi-regulatory environments.

security across the platform-banking is all about security

 

Robust security and tight controls are major components of hPLUS™. Any change of information in the system (not necessarily financial data) is considered a transaction. As a result, all transactions pass through the business and security control rules defined in the core of the hPLUS™ system. Hundreds of rules, control and monitor balances, cash advances, dormant & black listed accounts, client information, etc. 
 

Rules are dynamically added when business agreements with customers change. Rules are applicable not only to client accounts but also to other general accounts. For example, an expenditure account can be monitored for budgeted figures in the same manner as a client account can be monitored for sanctioned limits.
