London, UK – February 22, 2022 – Finastra has been named a Leader in payment hub platforms in a recent Omdia report titled ‘Selecting a Payment Hub 2021-22'. The analysis recognizes Fusion Global PAYplus for its combination of market impact, solution capabilities, and customer experience.

Phillip Benton, Senior Analyst, Financial Services Technology, Omdia, writes: "Payments is the key to unlocking new value-add services for banks, and they require a payments hub platform that provides interoperability whilst enabling new differentiating services.

Finastra is positioned as a leader because its payment hub incorporates a wide breadth of functionalities that are available off-the-shelf and can be deployed flexibly. Finastra has a large ecosystem of fintech partners through its collaboration platform, which is integrated with the payment hub solution. These attributes contribute to it scoring highly across several categories and the solution has been praised by customers for its excellent customer support and collaborative approach to designing its product roadmap.”

Barry Rodrigues, EVP, Payments Business Unit at Finastra, added, "The report observes that ‘managing payments through a hub solution is fast becoming the default approach to help banks navigate the disruption of how payments will be processed in the future’. It’s a trend we see too, as organizations look to scale and take on increasing volumes. Our approach combines proven technology and a collaborative ecosystem of partners that enables banks large and small to tap into fast and flexible payments technology. This leader status is testament to that."
