The site was designed in house by Britannia International’s information systems and marketing teams as a seamless extension of the bank’s existing website. Ease of use was a prime objective and the site has been successfully trialled by some of the company’s expatriate customers in advance of the launch.

Peter Mansfield, Britannia International Managing Director, says: “The launch of Britannia International Online represents the culmination of a lot of detailed planning and development work. We have long recognised the value of online facilities to our customers, particularly our expatriate and international customers who live in different times zones around the world. However we also know from our research that the security of the internet has been an overwhelming concern and our priority has been to produce a system that is both robust and offers the highest levels of security.

“Britannia International Online will greatly enhance our customers’ ability to manage their accounts wherever they are in the word, as it overcomes the problems experienced with differing times zones, overseas postal services and less secure telephone and facsimile communications. One of our core values at Britannia International is to make doing business with us as easy as possible and the online service represents a major advance in achieving this on behalf of our customers.”

Accessible through the website www.britanniainternational.com, Britannia International Online has been developed in conjunction with two Island IT companies. Site security was provided by Synapse, the Isle of Man’s leading IT security consultants, and the system operates on a wireless connection provided by Domicillium.
