NEW DELHI: Tech Mahindra has announced a strategic partnership with  Finastra, a global provider of financial software applications and marketplaces, to help corporate banks accelerate their digital transformation journeys. Through the partnership, Tech Mahindra will become Finastra's exclusive global implementation partner for its Cash Management platform and the preferred partner for its Trade Innovation and Corporate Channels solutions in the USA, Canada, and Europe.

Together, Finastra and Tech Mahindra will offer corporate banking customers integrated end-to-end cross-functional offerings spanning digital advisory, system integration, integrated infrastructure, and cloud services. The partnership will deliver modern platforms that enable corporate and institutional banks to innovate, streamline and digitalize their business operations to provide enhanced customer satisfaction.

We believe our joint efforts will redefine the way banks digitize to improve their profit margins.”

The partnership is announced at a crucial time when corporate and institutional banks face growing challenges, such as rising regulatory complexity, growing operational costs, global Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) standards and payment-related changes, error-prone manual processes, and a lack of digitalization.

It will combine Finastra’s cutting-edge solutions with Tech Mahindra’s global presence and deep knowledge in banking product implementation, digitalization, infrastructure, and operations.
