The financial sector is a space where the margin for error is virtually nonexistent. Every second of system downtime means lost transactions, disruption in the flow of money, and—most critically—loss of customer trust. It’s no surprise, then, that financial institutions are among the most demanding clients in the IT industry.
Talex is one of the few Polish companies that has successfully met these expectations and, for years, has been trusted by seven financial institutions operating in Poland. That’s not just an impressive number—it’s the strongest possible endorsement. In the financial world, technology partners are chosen according to the most stringent criteria.
KNF Standards – A High Bar for IT Providers
The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) clearly defines what requirements financial institutions and their suppliers must meet. The minimum standard is a Tier 3-certified data center compliant with the EN 50600 norm, ensuring operational continuity, redundancy, and robust infrastructure security.
However, banks rarely settle for the minimum. Most contracts explicitly require Tier 4 compliance—the highest standard available in Europe. This is where Talex stands out, offering infrastructure that not only meets the regulations but exceeds them.
What Convinced Financial Institutions to Choose Talex?
Top-Level Certification
Talex was among the first companies in Poland to achieve EN 50600 Class 4 certification. This not only confirms full redundancy of power and cooling systems but also demonstrates the company’s operational procedures designed to minimize the risk of human error.
Data Sovereignty and Local Presence
In the era of global cloud services and ambiguous legal frameworks such as the U.S. Cloud Act, financial institutions place increasing importance on data sovereignty. Storing data in Poland—under Polish jurisdiction—guarantees that sensitive information cannot be accessed by unauthorized entities. Talex operates two independent data centers in Poznań and Wrocław, ensuring geographic diversification and maximum security.
Flexibility and a Personalized Approach
Global providers often deliver standardized, one-size-fits-all services. Talex, as a Polish company, offers tailor-made solutions designed to meet the specific needs of each client. Its engineers are based locally, understand the market, and can respond quickly to unique or complex requirements.
Stability and Experience
With more than 30 years on the market and a track record of serving highly demanding clients, Talex has built a reputation for reliability and expertise. Financial institutions avoid unnecessary risk—they prefer long-term partners with proven stability and competence.
Audits That Speak for Themselves
Before any contract is signed, financial institutions conduct extensive audits—evaluating everything from physical security and operational procedures to the financial standing of the supplier. The fact that seven financial institutions have chosen to partner with Talex speaks louder than any advertisement. It’s proof that the company not only meets but often exceeds the highest standards of the financial industry.
What Does This Mean for Other Sectors?
If Talex can meet the rigorous demands of the financial sector, it means the company can provide top-level security for organizations in any industry. Few sectors in the world impose stricter requirements than finance.
For businesses in other fields—whether e-commerce, manufacturing, or public administration—this serves as a clear signal that local solutions can match, and often surpass, those offered by global giants.
A Lesson in Trust
Earning the trust of one financial institution is an achievement. Maintaining long-term partnerships with seven is a testament to exceptional quality and reliability. It proves that Polish IT companies can compete globally—delivering world-class security without compromise.
