BPER Bank Luxembourg S.A. has selected the OLYMPIC Banking System as its new core banking platform, marking a significant step in the bank’s multi-year technology transformation strategy. The Luxembourg-based subsidiary of Italy’s BPER Group said the move will replace its legacy core system with a fully integrated, front-to-back platform designed to support end-to-end business operations.

The bank, which provides wealth, private and investment management services as well as treasury, lending and securities activities, operates in one of Europe’s most competitive financial centres. Modernising its core infrastructure is expected to strengthen its ability to serve a diverse international client base and respond more quickly to evolving regulatory and market requirements.

“Selecting OLYMPIC Banking System as our new core banking platform marks a critical milestone in our strategic transformation journey,” said Paolo Zanni, General Manager at BPER Bank Luxembourg. “This next-generation solution will enable us to streamline operations, accelerate innovation, and deliver a seamless, end-to-end digital experience to our clients. By modernising our technology foundation, we are future-proofing our business and positioning ourselves for sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive market.”

ERI, the provider of the OLYMPIC Banking System, said the platform’s API-enabled architecture will support BPER’s digital initiatives and operational expansion. “The selection of OLYMPIC Banking System underscores our shared commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and client-centric banking,” said Alan Goodrich, Regional Sales Manager at ERI. “By delivering a modern, API-enabled core platform, we will empower BPER to enhance agility, accelerate digital initiatives, and scale efficiently in a rapidly evolving regulatory and financial landscape.”

The development highlights the broader trend of European banks accelerating core banking modernisation to improve efficiency, reduce legacy complexity, and meet rising client expectations in digital wealth and private banking services.
