  • TONBELLER and RA Computer enter into strategic partnership


    The partnership ensures dedicated resources from the two companies that enable faster implementation of compliance projects throughout Italy. Since 2008 RA Computer is a reseller of TONBELLER’s Siron®Financial Solutions suite in the rapidly growing Italian market, representing TONBELLER’s products for anti-money laundering, counter terrorism financing, fraud detection, watchlist management and identification of politically exposed persons.
    As evidenced by numerous successful joint customers such as e.g. American Express, Skandia, the offerings and services of RA Computer and TONBELLER complement each other. “Compliance departments often wrestle with two challenges: they face enormous pressure to reduce costs, while simultaneously facing the need to comply with the regulatory requirements to combat financial crime.” says Attilio Fusco, Business Development Director at RA Computer. RA Computer offers an innovative service for banks to outsource the hosting and maintenance of applications for preventing money laundering and terrorist financing in an effort to combat the rising costs like e.g. for upfront capital investments. The hosted service (SaaS – Software as a Service) eliminated the need to deal with the hardware, databases and additional technology infrastructure components that typically surround solutions to fight financial crime. “As a result, banks can focus on what matters most, the functionality to meet their legal requirements” explains Attilio Fusco.
    “The RA Computer screening platform using TONBELLER’s solution SironPEP is today recognized as the best available on the Italian and European market. RA Computer is very excited about the opportunity to work closely with TONBELLER and anticipates excellent results and future growth as a direct result of this collaboration.”

He also adds, “With the help of the experienced sales force of RA Computer, we will deliver the benefit of our solutions to the Italian banks, insurance companies and financial service providers.”
