LONDON, Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Finastra today announced its partnership with Hexaware Technologies (Hexaware) to provide managed services for Finastra's payments solutions deployed in the cloud. The move helps Hexaware customers in Germany, Belgium, the UK and Ireland take ownership of their payment infrastructure. The partnership brings together the companies' industry leading payments and integration experience, to provide mid-sized banks with an end-to-end Payments as a Service (PaaS) offering which helps them remain competitive while mitigating operational costs.

Chinmoy Banerjee, Corporate Vice President and Global Head - Banking, Hexaware said, "Finastra's strong payments offering enables our vision to help banks modernize and extend their digital footprint, by bringing their data infrastructure and applications to the cloud in an extremely fast, cost predictable, secure and co-engineered manner.
