Vault Core is accelerating the delivery of Bpifrance’s vision for the future of financial services – allowing the bank to operate at five times its previous pace. Vault Core’s Universal Product Engine allows Bpifrance to build, test, and launch innovative new products faster than other core systems, accelerating Bpifrance’s time-to-market. Bpifrance’s first product on Vault Core, a two-year commercial loan, is now live.

Bpifrance will also be able to configure and personalise financial products to match customers’ specific needs.
