Banks and financial institutions are constantly evolving to offer more value to their consumers. A broad range of fintech solutions are available, however, the pandemic challenges faced by corporate finance officers, in terms of visibility, liquidity & cash management, predictability, efficiency and speed in execution has set a new norm for banks & FIs for dealing with payments, where Realtime/Instant payments, transparency, Digital, APIs, and cloud-based solution become the base level.

Learn how cloud-based payment solutions provide your financial institution the critical competitive edge to propel you into the future of banking allowing your intuitions to offer a wider variety of payment options (real-time/instant payments, cross-border schemes, ACH, RTGS …), meeting regulatory mandates such as ISO20022 without undue cost burdens and help you moving away from the spaghetti and silos of different payments components.
