Success Story: Die erste Bank und Sparkassen

Erste Bank Österreich is the lead institution of the Austrian Savings Bank Group. It includes Erste Bank, Erste Group, Zweite Sparkasse and 46 other Sparkassen.
As a holding company, Erste Group Bank AG is responsible for subsidiary banks in 7 countries and has branches in the financial centers of London, New York and Hong Kong. Erste Bank is not only one of the largest and most traditional banks in Austria, but also one of the most modern and sophisticated.
AlphaTax S.a r.l. in Echternach (Luxembourg) is the leading company for the creation of qualified tax reports in the outsourcing sector - for almost 40 jurisdictions.

With the self-developed, modular software, AlphaTax can very flexibly implement new country modules as well as work out the tax law changes to the existing modules for the next reporting year. In this way, the company provides its customers - primarily credit institutions and online commercial banks - with around 400,000 individual tax reports annually for their international private customers. For this, AlphaTax only needs a few anonymized raw data in electronic form. Regardless of which country module is to be created: the data extract is always the same. Once the interface has been implemented, the bank no longer needs to adapt the process.

The AlphaTax employees have many years of professional experience in the financial world and know exactly the expectations of their customers. Not only their detailed knowledge of financial products and bank booking systems, but also their in-depth knowledge of national tax law in a wide range of jurisdictions makes them real specialists and perfect contacts for their customers. In addition, AlphaTax has been working closely and trustingly with external consulting companies from the respective tax domiciles for many years.

The success story...

...between AlphaTax and Erste Bank Austria with its 49 institutions is based on the Austrian credit institution's claim to permanently offer all domestic and foreign customers a service at the highest level. Erste Bank Austria considers it essential to provide its private customers residing in Germany, Italy and Switzerland with high-quality, country-specific tax reporting - great support for these customers!

Implementation project

After Erste Bank Austria's previous service provider discontinued its service, the bank found a perfect new partner in AlphaTax. AlphaTax's IT specialists were able to build on the existing, elaborately developed interface from the past and adapt it very quickly to their own software. Until the final implementation, the bank's specialists and the AlphaTax team of experts only needed to exchange a little information, as both parties - thanks to their intensive experience in the topic - were well aware of the most important adjustment screws. This conserved the bank's IT resources and saved time. In addition, AlphaTax had already implemented the complex regulations of the new German Investment Tax Act (2018) in its software for its German tax reporting; a point that was of great importance to the bank. However, the high efficiency of implementation is only part of the success story:

Support

With AlphaTax, the bank gained a service provider who no longer requires tax input from the bank. On the contrary: With an anonymized raw data printout by the bank, reports can be produced “on demand” for all of AlphaTax’s available country modules. Any tax law changes and data enrichments are carried out independently by AlphaTax. To ensure this, AlphaTax always works in close coordination with external tax experts in the respective jurisdiction. Complex release changes and tests are a thing of the past for the bank.

Output: An individual tax report

The determination of the individual tax-relevant amounts is easy for private customers to understand. Filling aids enable the sums to be transferred effortlessly into the tax form. Even complex corporate actions and transactions in special products are correctly reflected in tax reports in the tax reports. A real added value!

Uncomplicated project, nice people. Fits!
