Since the beginning of the global economic and financial crisis, financial institutions have

flexibility, adaptability, fast implementation, reliability and modernity, in line with current and
future times.

(Central American Bank for Economic Integration), Falabella Bank, BCCR (Central Bank of Costa
Rica), Banca March –the most solvent bank in Europe-, BNF (National Development Bank), Baneco
(Economic Bank), Carrefour Financial Services, Excellent Incasso, and the list goes on.

The following processes can be highlighted as examples of processes automated with AuraPortal:

• Core Business Processes (Credit Concession Management, Goods Received in Lieu of Payment,
Document Approval, Credit Committee, etc.).

• Operational Risk Management Processes (Element Protection, Change Control, Preventive
Control, etc.).

• Financial Analysis Processes (Legal Analysis, Financial Analysis, Impact Analysis, etc.).

• Customer Management Processes (Campaigns and Promotions, Creation of new Products,
