–  Bank Named CIO Awards Canada Winner by IDC and CIO 

LONDON, ON, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - VersaBank has been named a CIO Awards Canada winner by IDC Canada and CIO. VersaBank CIO, Wooi Koay received the award at a CIO Awards Canada gala dinner hosted at The National Club in Toronto on September 25, 2024.

CIO Awards Canada recognized VersaBank for its Capital Adequacy Requirement (CAR) project. Canada's banking regulator requires banks to set aside capital amounts for different loan types – known as capital adequacy requirements (CAR) – and the regulator changes these requirements periodically. Banks must respond promptly when requirements are changed. 

For this project, VersaBank moved the core CAR logic into a serverless function in the cloud, which resulted in ultra-fast computing and without impairing any of the demands on the bank's Asset Management System (AMS). The AMS is used to record and track assets (e.g., loans) to judiciously allocate their capital to generate the highest return on common equity.

"We're delighted to be recognized for our continuing technological innovation, which is the very core of VersaBank's model as a cloud-based, branchless, business-to-business bank, providing high value-add digital banking solutions to address the unmet needs of our partners throughout North America," said David Taylor, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, VersaBank. "Our proprietary banking software underlies our tremendous success and growth to date in Canada, which we look forward to replicating with our recent entry into the United States, as our cloud-based systems enable us to operate incredibly efficiently on both sides of the border.  VersaBank's CIO, Wooi Koay, has played an integral role in our technological leadership, working to develop some of the banking industry's most innovative solutions and enabling us to continuously remain on the leading edge of digital financial technology."

Mr. Koay has shown a remarkable ability to translate the vision for new technology solutions, products and services envisioned by VersaBank management, including Founder David Taylor, and translate them into reality.

"We're excited to celebrate CIO Awards Canada 2024, which honours Canadian IT organizations for projects driving digital business growth through technology innovation and demonstrating business value. We wish to congratulate this years' winners as their projects were very inspiring and a true testament of the highly skilled and innovative workforce here in Canada," said Lars Goransson, Managing Director, Canada, IDC (International Data Corporation).

Every year, CIO recognizes the tech world's most innovative organizations and accomplished leaders. 2024 will be the third year for this popular awards program, where CIO Awards Canada have recognized innovative Canadian tech projects and teams.
