Arturo Grullon Finet, CEO of Qik, commented: “We wanted to create a bank with agility, flexibility and state-of-the-art technology to improve the banking experience and create availability to banking services to a larger portion of Dominicans. Our value proposition is focusing on people’s needs to maximise their time and resources, which is the demand of today’s customers

“That’s why we chose Temenos because its cloud technology has a successful track record across Latin America, and we knew that it could help us deliver a digital experience that redefines banking so that our customers can bank smarter, happier and more connected than ever before”, he continued.
