CBA and Scotiabank among new Bian members

Banking IT standards alliance, the Banking Industry Architecture Network (Bian), has expanded its worldwide reach. It has announced Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Rabobank Group, Scotiabank and ACI Worldwide as new members.

“CBA joining BIAN is an exciting step forward into the Asia-Pacific market and Scotiabank from Canada demonstrates the further internationalisation of BIAN. ACI Worldwide offers the perspective from an international provider of payment systems. Rabobank is also a truly international operating bank and the first cooperative bank that joins us. They all share with BIAN a common vision about the interoperable architectures in banking and a common understanding regarding the strategic evolution of core banking systems,” says Karin Fischenbeck, secretary general of BIAN.

“We are looking forward to their inputs and the joint creation of global standards that can be used by the entire banking ecosystem, such as the latest BIAN results from the Lending Working Group, along with a comprehensive version of our Service Landscape.”
