TLDR: Uniting Financial Services (UFS) in Australia has successfully migrated its core and digital banking operations to Infosys Finacle’s Digital Banking SaaS Suite on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. This rapid transformation, completed in under five months, aims to significantly enhance customer experience, expand product offerings, and improve operational efficiency for UFS.
Infosys Finacle, a unit of EdgeVerve Systems and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infosys, announced on August 20, 2025, a significant milestone in its global banking Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business. Australia’s Uniting Financial Services (UFS), a charitable development fund, has successfully implemented the next-generation Finacle Digital Banking Suite on the AWS Cloud. This swift migration from UFS’s incumbent platform to the cloud-native Finacle SaaS was completed in an impressive timeframe of under five months, setting a new industry benchmark for digital transformation projects.
The rapid implementation was facilitated by the Finacle Australian Reference Bank Model, a preconfigured solution specifically designed for the Australian market. This model includes preconfigured products, processes, interfaces, and compliance rules, which significantly streamlined the deployment process, reducing the typical 12-18 month timeline for such projects.
The comprehensive Finacle Digital Banking Suite adopted by UFS encompasses several key components: Finacle Core Banking, Finacle Digital Engagement Hub, Finacle Online Banking, Finacle Mobile Banking, Finacle Customer Data Hub, and Finacle Alerts.
This strategic collaboration is poised to deliver multiple benefits for UFS and its customers. It is expected to provide richer, intuitive, and omnichannel digital experiences across mobile and online platforms. Furthermore, the partnership will enable UFS to expand its investment product offerings, scale deposits, and strengthen its commercial loan business. Operational benefits include enhanced business agility, improved compliance, and greater operational efficiency. The cloud-native SaaS model on AWS infrastructure ensures resilience, on-demand scalability, and reliable performance, while open APIs facilitate seamless partner integrations, fostering innovation and operational gains.
