"FIs are seeking practical ways to modernize payments while managing cost, complexity, and risk," said Sandeep Bhanote, Global Head and General Manager of Financial Services at DXC. "By combining Aptys' modern payments infrastructure with DXC's deep expertise in core banking environments, we are helping financial institutions take a phased, pragmatic approach to modernization."

"Aptys Solutions empowers thousands of financial institutions to deliver payment experiences that are faster, smarter, and more secure," said Naseer Nasim, Chief Executive Officer of Aptys Solutions.

The initial phase of the partnership focuses on enabling core payments API transactions, with plans to build upon these foundational use cases to modernize traditional financial infrastructure and enhance the way institutions deliver services. Future phases will introduce new capabilities such as digital wallets, custody, and wealth management services.
