Robust Finacle™ platform bolsters ZUNO Bank’s growth trajectory and speeds up delivery of new lending products

London – June 26, 2012: ZUNO Bank, the direct bank owned by Raiffeisen Bank International AG, and Infosys have successfully rolled out a new lending product portfolio which includes personal retail loans and overdraft lines in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, powered by Finacle™ core banking solution.
