Pakistani lender HBL has selected Temenos core banking platform in a bid to transform its domestic and international operations.
As agreed, the bank will transfer more than 25 million of its clients onto Temenos open platform for composable banking.
The move will provide HBL with access to a full suite of products and services, and enable the lender to offer technologically advanced conventional and Islamic banking solutions.
Additionally, the adoption will expedite customer onboarding and reduce processing time of transactions.
It will also help HBL in complying with local banking regulations, international reporting standards as well as expand its digital footprint across Pakistan.
The composable banking offering will also enable HBL to add, replace or combine components, systems and connectors, as per requirement.
