The collaboration came as part of a strategic platform upgrade to deliver enhanced customer experience for domestic and cross-border payments with improved efficiencies and to meet regulatory and compliance requirements. Moreover, at the beginning of October 2023, Temenos announced its cloud-native Correspondent Banking solution. As banks want to modernise cross-border payments in the cloud, the company’s service aims to support the expedited addition of alternative payment rails and types using payment adaptors and an extensive set of APIs.

Through this partnership, Temenos incorporated its Temenos Payments Hub into IBM’s solution, providing the platform across all the IBM hybrid cloud infrastructure. Both companies aimed to enable the coexistence of hybrid cloud platforms, as well as to offer banks the required tools for the digitalisation of their technology stacks. .
