TAIPEI, Sept , 05, 2019 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/--

Taiwan-based institution continues commitment to Unisys ClearPath Forward 
systems for a reliable, secure and scalable environment supporting critical 
applications and move to digital banking 

Taipei, 5th September 2019 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) 
http://www.unisys.com/ today announced that Far Eastern International Bank 
(FEIB)http://www.feib.com.tw/ of Taiwan has signed a new agreement with Unisys 
to upgrade and modernise the bank’s IT environment for its core banking system. 
The contract was signed in the second quarter of 2019.

FEIB is part of the Far Eastern Group, one of the biggest conglomerates in 
Taiwan. With 56 branches in Taiwan and a branch in Hong Kong, FEIB provides 
financial solutions to both individual and institutional customers in Asia.

FEIB relies on the Unisys China System Finance (CSF) core banking system [ 
https://www.unisys.com/offerings/industry-solutions/financial-services-industry-solutions/core-banking 
] - designed specifically for Taiwan’s banking environments – to provide 
consumers and businesses with services ranging from customer relationship 
management, deposits and payments to funds transfer, risk monitoring and 
regulatory reporting. The CSF solution runs on the Unisys ClearPath Forward(R) 
[ https://www.unisys.com/offerings/clearpath-forward ] platform.

"The flexibility and security of the Unisys ClearPath Forward environment 
supports FEIB’s ongoing digital transformation strategy to offer new and 
enhanced banking services to our customers so they can bank anytime, anywhere 
via internet and mobile channels," said Lonnie Liu, executive vice president of 
FEIB. 

Under the new contract, Unisys will provide two ClearPath Forward Libra 
systems, hardware and software maintenance and licences, as well as refreshed 
Dell EMC storage systems.
 
The ClearPath Forward operating environments are the only ones on the market 
from which user data has never been forcibly extracted.1 [

to roll out new services in response to customer demands and market 
opportunities. The underlying security of the ClearPath environment is key to 
successful modernisation as the majority of Taiwan consumers (69%) cite the 
security and safety of customer data as the thing that matters to them most 
when engaging with a bank – according to the 2019 Unisys Banking Insights 
research."
