The collaboration seeks to expedite the modernisation of IT infrastructures and the adoption of real-time payments ahead of the EU’s mandatory transition to instant credit transfers, helping Italian banks accelerate their instant payment offerings.
Per the press release information, the partnership extends the scope from Finastra’s SaaS digital banking solution, Essence, to include Finastra Payments To Go, an end-to-end SaaS payment processing solution, and Global PAYplus, a functionally rich payment hub solution. By facilitating SEPA and international payments, Italian banks can comply with the upcoming European instant payments regulation and modernise outdated and complex IT infrastructures.
More to this point, the end-to-end SaaS payment processing solution Payments To Go enables banks to fast-track their instant payment services rollout and deliver flexible digital payment offerings in an increasingly fast and efficient manner. Global PAYplus provides a broad suite of payment services spanning high-value, mass, and real-time payments in a single solution, with a basis in microservices and an ISO 20022 native data model. What is more, Corvallis has extensive implementation expertise and delivers complementary solutions, such as for anti-money laundering (AML), payment and settlement, and fraud management.
Commenting on the announcement, Corvallis officials advised that the partnership supports the entry into force of the European regulation on instant bank transfers in euros, which is set to make instant payments mandatory without additional costs. This is believed to require an overhaul of current, oftentimes temporary solutions that are not suitable for the support of the expected increase in instant payment transfers, which are to gradually replace ordinary transfers. Following the evolution of payments, the introduction of additional application modules and integration layers has led to complex, layered, and difficult-to-manage architectures. Per their statement, Finastra’s payments solutions help simplify this complexity by eliminating existing legacy payments silos, bettering processes, and enabling access to new market opportunities.
Further adding on this, Finastra representatives said that the extension of the partnership with Corvallis showcases their mutual commitment to equipping Italian banks with the appropriate tools for modernisation. Per their statement, Finastra’s evergreen solutions enable simplified integrations with third-party services through APIs helping Corvallis’ customers to pursue ongoing payment innovation and quickly adapt to new regulatory and customer demands. The spokesperson further advised that the collaboration combines technological innovation with extensive industry and regional expertise, driven by a common vision of enabling the future of payments.
