Arion Bank Selects Moody’s Analytics Technology for Basel III and IFRS 9 Compliance

Moody’s Analytics announced today that its technology has been selected by Arion Bank for both Basel III and IFRS 9 compliance.

Arion Bank, one of Iceland’s leading banks, will use the Moody’s Analytics RiskConfidence™ platform for impairment calculations and IFRS 9 requirements. It will also use the Moody’s Analytics RiskAuthority™ software for Basel III compliance and regulatory reporting. In implementing both solutions, Arion Bank will gain flexibility to meet both its present and future compliance and regulatory needs.

The RiskConfidence solution helps financial institutions analyze their portfolios and comply with IFRS 9 requirements. This solution also helps banks to create a holistic and granular view of their assets and liabilities, enabling them to leverage enterprise-wide analytics for effective ALM and liquidity risk management.

The RiskAuthority software offers a comprehensive end-to-end Basel III solution covering data management, regulatory capital calculations, and reporting. This integrated solution enables banks to consolidate and store required Basel I, II, and III data – such as assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet exposures, counterparties, ratings, risk drivers, and market data – all on one platform.

“Arion Bank’s decision to use Moody’s Analytics risk and capital management solutions as part of our internal risk management framework was driven by the flexibility the solutions offer to support Basel III compliance, IFRS 9 implementation requirements, and streamlined regulatory reporting,” said Dr. Gísli Óttarsson, CRO of Arion Bank. “The modularity of the solution supports our compliance needs, from Basel III and IFRS 9 to ALM and stress testing, from a strategic and integrated risk management platform.”

“We are delighted that Arion Bank has selected Moody’s Analytics solutions to address its compliance and regulatory reporting needs,” said Andrew Bockelman, Managing Director at Moody’s Analytics. “As financial institutions worldwide face increasing pressure from their regulators to meet Basel III and IFRS 9 compliance, our solutions help them to meet those challenges from a centralized, streamlined, and automated data management source.”
