Mashreq has announced that it has extended its relationship with Oracle Financial Services to support its growth globally.

The bank will replace its core systems with Oracle solutions to modernise, streamline, and enhance its operations in key international hubs, including Hong Kong, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Mohamed Abdel Razek, Group Head of Technology, Transformation & Information at Mashreq, said: “Our collaboration with Oracle aligns seamlessly with our vision of enabling innovative possibilities for our clients, colleagues and communities across our global footprint. The further modernisation of our operations across our network, and the establishment of digital banking services in key markets, underscore our commitment to delivering an unparalleled customer experience. Partnerships are a key focus area for us, being critical to deliver on our goals, and we are confident our collaboration with Oracle will further enhance our capabilities and performance.”

Mashreq is also in the process of establishing digital banks in Pakistan and Oman

Oracle will provide the foundation needed for Mashreq to integrate new entities and services, streamline operations, and comply with the latest industry standards as it expands across diverse geographies.

Oracle Financial Services’ modern integration platform and APIs will support Mashreq to scale, quickly develop and add new services to meet evolving market demands and integrate with fintech partners to help foster innovation. With its core banking information residing in Oracle’s common data platform, Mashreq will also have the necessary infrastructure to support advanced analytics, compliance, and strategic decision-making.

Vinayak Hampihallikar, Head of JAPAC & MEA Consulting, Oracle Financial Services, added: “Extending our collaboration with Mashreq, which has spanned 14 years and five countries, is a testament to our innovation and commitment to help the bank deliver on its vision for superior customer satisfaction and global expansion goals. Our pioneering technology and consulting expertise will play a crucial role in supporting Mashreq’s expansion plans and helping to redefine the landscape of digital banking and operational excellence.”
