briefing TCS BaNCS in AUSTRALIA Longevity as a trusted partner in banking, capital markets, and insurance As in all markets, the Australian market continues to evolve with more compliance regulations and increased customer expectations. It is understandable that financial institutions turn to their trusted business partners to see them through these immense changes. By Colin Sword, Country Head – Australia and New Zealand, TCS As an example, Australia’s New Payments Platform (NPP) is a convenient and inexpensive way for retail consumers to pay someone within seconds without having to know the recipient’s full account details. TCS facilitated the readiness for the go-live “on date” for all its local financial institution customers, with two being early adopters. As NPP moves into mainstream acceptability, now with over two million registered participants, the next wave of value-added services is arriving. TCS BaNCS clients are building customer-focused solutions that incorporate NPP in ways that make sound business sense. With the real-time capabilities of TCS BaNCS along with API-based access to open banking components, financial institutions are creating value propositions that are not dependent upon legacy fee structures or business models. That’s the kind of flexible technology and strategic thinking that makes for successful lasting partnerships. 18
