Finastra Acquires Malauzai
Since 2015, the two companies have amassed more than 130 joint customers.
The deal according to Finastra reflects its commitment to the U.S. retail and business banking sectors by further enabling digital transformation for community banks and credit unions.
“Credit unions and community banks are the fabric of American financial services. We strive to help them realize the benefits of digital transformation – including being able to deliver outstanding experiences right across their consumer and business customer lifecycles,” Simon Paris, CEO at Finastra, said. “Together, our two companies deliver a fully integrated open core platform for payments, lending and digital, across Finastra’s 4,500-strong U.S.-based community market customers and Malauzai’s non-core U.S.-based customers. We value Malauzai’s market leadership and its open approach, which is in perfect alignment with our open platform vision.”
The acquisition builds on an already successful and proven partnership between Finastra and Malauzai, which saw the latter’s digital solution integrated into Finastra’s Fusion Phoenix core banking system. Since 2015 the two companies have amassed over 130 joint customers.
Tom Shen, CEO at Malauzai said, “We’re extremely excited for the next chapter of our story with Finastra. Together we have a deep understanding of the community banking space. By combining a best-in-class core experience, backed by leading innovative mobile and Internet banking capabilities and our mobile-only design approach, community financial institutions win. The acquisition creates a compelling proposition for our existing customer base and enables Finastra’s customers to deliver a seamless banking experience with a robust breadth of services, via a single provider.”
