The center is expected to function as a Shared Services Unit with a technological focus, which will be responsible for the Bank's internal corporate and IT operations, with the intention of structuring other financial and administrative services.

It is planned that the implementation of the project will take place in stages from July 2019, reaching the full capacity of over 275 employees within five years.
