Robert Bleiweiss, head of system responsibility team at Handelsbanken, said: We selected TietoEnator because the solution is fully integrated with our SWIFTNet Connectivity solution for FileAct. It will enable us to be not only fully compliant with the requirements for SEPA Credit Transfers (SCT) and the European Bank Association’s EBA STEP2 SCT clearing service by January 2008 but also provide a strategic building block for TietoEnator’s new Payments Framework.
Patricia Pittomvils, vice president offering management, TietoEnator banking & insurance, said: We are pleased to expand the cooperation with Handelsbanken in the payments and messaging area. It is further proof of the success of our new Payments Framework. It meets current market demand for single euro payments area (SEPA) market compliance and provides the basis for additional payments processing lines such as SEPA direct debits.
