Kindle Banking Systems was a banking solutions company that originated from a bespoke banking systems project in 1979 for the Irish merchant bank Ansbacher Bank. Its main product was a modular banking system known as Bankmaster. The system originally ran on the ICL hardware platform - the relationship with the UK-based computer manufacturer facilitated Kindle establishing a significant customer base in Asia and Africa. Kindle is regarded as a company of note, as it was the first high-tech Irish company which achieved the status of world leader in its field.
