With a modern and agile solution in place, the bank will be able to better serve its customers.  Dudi Avni, Head of Delivery Channels Applications at Mizrahi-Tehafot Bank says: “The payments landscape is accelerating at a quicker pace than ever before and payments is now a strategic pillar for our business.

It enables Mizrahi-Tehafot Bank to fulfil its strategic plan regarding payment services. Until now, we have been using in-house solutions for processing payments. Both retail and corporate clients are increasingly demanding a more seamless payment experience and a broader set of payment options.

Fusion Payments to Go: leading off-the-shelf solution

Finastra’s pre-packaged solution is based on its tried and tested global payment hub. It will go far in helping us do so, whilst bringing sizable cost savings. With a large team of hundreds of people dedicated to the development of Finastra’s payments products, we know we are in safe hands and ready for tomorrow’s payment challenges.” Fusion Global PAYplus is built on Finastra’s payment hub.
