BANCOS with new brand identity

BANCOS and G&H Bankensoftware AG are continuously developing on many levels – especially in the area of our product portfolio. With a comprehensive rebranding, these further developments are now also highlighted visually and communicatively.

We are using the new brand identity to communicate a number of important points relating to the company’s corporate and product strategy more clearly. This was initially accompanied by a brand architecture decision. While both the product name “BANCOS” and the associated cube element have long been part of our company, from now on we will be using BANCOS even more clearly and consistently than ever before in our brand communication. The link with our current five main solutions shows that, in addition to the core banking system, our portfolio has now become much broader and more modular. Over time, we have continuously developed and expanded our range of software solutions – such as with the core agnostic products Online Banking and Onboarding, which, among other things, enable workflow automation and embedded finance.

An evolutionary modernization

In terms of design, we have kept the color red and the characteristic cube as central elements of the logo and the overall appearance. Changes in a few key details modernize the brand overall in the process: a lighter, friendlier color tone, a new more independent block serif font in the logo, and more coherent placement of the wordmark.

In addition to the primary logo, there is a new secondary logo variant that creates a connection with our service areas in a landscape format. The BANCOS cube forms the link to the umbrella brand. Each service area is linked with a key visual based on systematically designed graphic elements. These are created by subdividing and rearranging the BANCOS cube into individual elements that are reminiscent of pixels or sections of QR codes – a metaphor for the digital transformation in which we support our customers with our software solutions.

New website as central digital touchpoint

Step by step, the new brand identity is being implemented on more and more touchpoints and media. The start of the rebranding process is marked by our new website as the central digital contact point for customers, employees, applicants, and all other stakeholders. After the admittedly somewhat information-reduced previous website, we now want to communicate our services and our company in a more relevant, comprehensive, and up-to-date manner. The launch version is just the beginning and will be continuously updated and expanded.

Digital sovereignty in core banking systems: Who controls the infrastructure?

Digital sovereignty has established itself as a key factor in IT strategy – and is therefore also relevant to core banking systems. In our series of interviews ahead of the launch of the new generation of BANCOS Core Banking, we discuss this topic with CEO Christian Binderbauer: Why digital sovereignty is becoming increasingly important for banks in the EU, what risks arise from a lack of sovereignty, and where a core banking provider can take specific action.

Core banking systems: reducing costs instead of tying up budgets

With legacy core banking systems in particular, a significant proportion of the IT budget of banks is spent simply on keeping the system running. This considerably reduces the scope for investment in growth and innovation. In our series of interviews ahead of the launch of the new generation of BANCOS Core Banking, we talk to Product Owner Stephan Mann about how such cost structures affect core banking modernisation and what cost model banks can expect with BANCOS.

Core banking implementation: the path to an accelerated go-live

Core banking implementation projects are considered to be lengthy, expensive and difficult to budget for. Project durations spanning several years are not uncommon – and by the time they are completed, banks find themselves facing changing requirements. In this interview, BANCOS CTO Udo Oehmig and Product Owner Stephan Mann explain what typically slows down implementation projects and how the new BANCOS generation fundamentally shortens the process.
