The report also highlights TCS' engagements as Best in Class examples across various categories such as open banking strategy and roadmap, open banking application development and maintenance, and open banking enablement.

“Banks are looking to leverage ecosystems as part of their Business 4.0 strategy. Towards that, they are increasingly adopting open API models and open banking while building up their digital core,” said K Krithivasan, President and Global Head, Banking, Financial Services and Insurance group, TCS. “This recognition of our leadership from an independent, third-party research firm is a validation of our vision, capabilities, and market impact in this area.”

TCS has developed integrated Open Banking offerings and solution capabilities consisting of Foundation Accelerators, Assessment and Readiness Kits, Sandbox Services, an API marketplace, and an Open Data Fabric to help banks comply with open banking regulations and go beyond.
