Expleo recognises and celebrates leaders and financial institutions driving digital transformation in the Philippines.

Manila: While the country’s financial services sector is pacing to incorporate technology innovations in its core infrastructure, its massive unbanked population (71%) now has a better chance at wealth management. Driven by digitalisation, a favourable regulatory framework, and steady modernisation initiatives by the government, the Philippines’ FSI organisations have not only upgraded but have also witnessed commendable initiatives driven by business and technology professionals.

As the situation called for a moment to bestow honor upon the initiatives taken by the financial institutions in the last 12 months and recognize the top professionals for their groundbreaking work, Expleo, the global consulting, technology and engineering service provider that powers digital transformation for financial institutions globally including the leading banks and insurance institutions in the Philippines, took the initiative to power Philippines’ most desired FSI Awards Show, at the World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS), which took place at the Manila Marriott Hotel.

The evening was filled with an extravagant Gala Dinner decked with a fine range of gourmet dishes and exquisite cocktails. 

In a statement issued, Balaji Viswanathan, MD & CEO of Expleo Solutions Limited, said: “It’s an incredible achievement and a testament to every banking, financial services and insurance institution shaping the future of finance in the Philippines. Expleo is honoured and delighted to recognise the winners for demonstrating their resilience and ensuring seamless and secure banking experiences for the Filipinos.”

As per the organising body - Tradepass, the awards show featured a space where the contestants submitted their best work in the form of use cases, whitepapers, published articles and much more to demonstrate their expertise in the respective categories.
