Grabbing the million dollar opportunity, Infosys launches two new financial products
Smallbusiness1 min read

Infosys has launched two new financial products - Finacle Payments Bank and Finacle Small Finance Bank solutions - for the Indian market. It will help the company to tap the multi-million dollar opportunity in the newly announced payments banks segment.

These two products are part of EdgeVerve Systems, the product subsidiary of Infosys, the country's second largest software services firm.

"These solutions are specifically tailored for organisations seeking payments banks and small finance banks licenses from the RBI. With these solutions, licensees can set up the required technology backbone and become operational quickly," Infosys Finacle Regional Head for Growth Markets Venkatrama Gosavi told PTI.

These solutions will enable the new entrants to focus on their business goals right from the start of their operations, he added.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) granted 'in-principle' approval in August to 11 entities, including Reliance Industries, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Vodafone and Airtel, to set up payments banks in the country.

The other entities include Department of Posts, Cholamandalam Distribution Services, Tech Mahindra, National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), Fino PayTech, Sun Pharma's Dilip Shantilal Shanghvi and PayTM's Vijay Shekhar Sharma.

Infosys' solutions provide capabilities to enable various distribution models like traditional banking, agency banking, mobile wallet, and micro ATMs.

Gosavi said: "These solutions are also available in a hosted environment apart from on-premise, which ensures low capital investments. It will enable new license holders to make investments based on consumption and scale-up depending on business demand."

The customers will also have access to integrated analytics to help create customised offerings and address emerging market needs.

A dominant player in the banking solutions space, Finacle has 70% share of the top 40 banks in India. It also powers over 100 cooperative banks in India.
