OneConnect launches new Gamma Core Banking System

By Leandra Monteiro

OneConnect Financial Technology Co. Ltd, a technology-as-a-service platform for financial institutions and an associate of Ping An Group, has released Gamma Core, its latest core banking system for financial institutions. Gamma Core is designed to help banks undergo a complete top-to-bottom digital restructuring in order to upgrade their underlying architecture, business processes and core systems.

Gamma Core is underpinned by the concept of three “ones”, the first of which is one bank for all customers. Under this system, banks adopt a customer-centric approach where different customers are grouped into clustered Digital Services Unit (DSU) server nodes such as retail customers or enterprise clients. Using these clusters, banks will gain the capabilities necessary to provide unique and tailored product innovations for each group, while still consolidating all its customers into a single bank for everyone.

“The bank of the future needs to be more customer-centric than ever to help clients meet their personalized financial needs and access better services at any time and location. Digitalisation, intelligence and transparency are fundamental pillars of the new digital economy, and banks seeking to thrive in the future will need to embrace these ideas within their core systems,” said Li Jie, Chief Technology Officer of OneConnect.

The second “one” refers to the RMB 1 single account operating cost. With a fully distributed design, flexible resource allocation based on customer value, and low-cost servers, Gamma Core significantly reduces operation and maintenance costs and streamlines efficiency. And Gamma Core’s third “one” promises that only 1 percent of transactions will require human intervention as a result of intelligent distribution via a smart display engine; intelligent risk control based on a smart analysis engine; and intelligent governance under the smart search engine.

Gamma Core was created with a vision to accelerate the industry’s development and transformation, and to help banks upgrade their core systems, empowering them with the capabilities and assistance needed to achieve financial growth.

“We are excited to start this new journey with Gamma Core to drive sustainable growth which will see us continuing to dive deeper into the financial industry with the most cutting-edge technology, extensive experience and profound understanding of the industry,” said Shen Chongfeng, CEO of OneConnect. “We hope our Gamma One Bank Platform becomes the wing of technology innovation that better fuels financial institutions’ digital transformation and takes the quality of customer service and internal management to the next level.”
