Department and Team

Capital Market IT (CMI) is the IT department within the bank focused on solutions related to Capital Markets. This includes Front Office (FO) booking platforms, Risk Management (RM) control and regulatory reporting systems, financial product and contract valuation systems, and much more. It is the department most directly exposed to the bank's financial operations.

CARMA is an ambitious project to revamp the bank's existing counterparty risk system, CCC, and move it onto the cloud. The application and its uses are extremely complex, comprising a grid computing component (with containerized workers orchestrated using ArmoniK as grid computing middleware), an electronic trading component, a live credit check component (on the critical path for trading), and much more.
