UBX and Temenos team for financial inclusion in the Philippines
Banking technology vendor Temenos is partnering with UBX to deliver digital banking to millions of unbanked and underserved customers in the Philippines, reports Jane Connolly.
The fintech subsidiary of UnionBank of the Philippines, UBX has developed a range of plug-and-play services to help rural banks reach customers in remote communities.
These include the blockchain-based i2i turnkey solution, which connects rural banks to each other and to the Philippines’ main financial networks.
Having partnered with Temenos, UBX can now offer core banking software to its partner financial institutions, through Temenos T24 Transact.
Temenos says its cloud-native, cloud-agnostic, API-first banking software will provide greater levels of agility and scalability for rural banks, cooperatives and microfinance institutions.
“At UBX, our mission is to build platforms that bring businesses and people together,” says John Januszczak, CEO of UBX. “As part of that, we provide access to needed technology and services while connecting communities.
“The rural banking community in the Philippines has been championing financial inclusion for decades. Temenos will help us provide the most tailored, innovative and advanced core banking solution to our rural banking customers.”
The partnership aims to deliver digital banking to millions of people over the next five years.
