ICSFS Overview

Furthermore, the company targeted international markets, providing IT services to a wide range of countries and regions.

The vision was to develop standard off-the-shelf (OTS) software applications for real-time business processing.

Capitalising on previous expertise, ICS (London) launched a strategic project for developing a universal banking software application which resulted in the creation of ICS BANKS®.

Within a decade, ICS (London) was able to expand in new markets, winning new clients and strengthen its position among the major players in the financial technology industry.
