New partnership to drive sustainable growth and innovation for customers.
As the Philippine fintech landscape continues its electrifying ascent, fueled by the rapid adoption of digital banking, e-wallets, and innovative payment platforms, global financial software giant Finastra has strategically joined forces with Total Information Management Corporation (TIM Corp), a homegrown leader in data center services and IT infrastructure.
Announced last April 10, 2025, this powerful alliance is poised to redefine treasury solutions for financial institutions across the Philippines, promising a potent blend of international expertise and deep local understanding.
The collaboration arrives at a pivotal moment for the Philippine financial sector.
The relentless march towards digitalization, spurred by a tech-savvy population and supportive regulatory frameworks, has created both immense opportunities and intricate challenges for banks and other financial players. Efficient and agile treasury management is now more critical than ever to navigate the complexities of this dynamic environment.
Finastra and TIM Corp’s partnership: A game-changer for treasury management
At the heart of this transformative partnership lies Finastra’s cutting-edge Opics core treasury solution, a globally recognized platform renowned for its comprehensive capabilities in managing liquidity, risk, and cash flow. Coupled with TIM Corp’s robust managed services infrastructure, the alliance introduces a game-changing, cloud-based treasury management solution specifically tailored to address the unique operational realities of Philippine financial institutions.
Migs De Guzman, Senior Assistant Vice President, Financial Services Business at TIM Corp, emphasized the significance of this synergy, saying, “Our partnership with Finastra represents a significant step forward in delivering advanced treasury and banking solutions to financial institutions across the Philippines.”
“Combining Finastra’s global expertise with TIM Corp’s local knowledge and infrastructure, we can empower our clients to embrace digital transformation while improving operational efficiency,” he added.
The cloud-first approach of this integrated solution is designed to alleviate the burden of hefty capital expenditure and intricate infrastructure management, directly addressing a key concern for many local banks.
By offering seamless cloud transformation pathways, the partnership promises enhanced scalability and flexibility, allowing institutions to adapt swiftly to the ever-evolving demands of the market. Furthermore, comprehensive outsourcing options embedded within the offering aim to bolster both operational and technical efficiency, freeing up valuable resources for strategic initiatives.
Tailored solutions for a thriving digital economy
Finastra’s decision to partner with TIM Corp, a well-established and trusted entity within the Philippine financial ecosystem, underscores a strategic commitment to the local market. TIM Corp’s strong local presence and proven track record in supporting core banking and risk analytics make them an ideal ally for Finastra in reaching and effectively serving regional banks with advanced, tailored solutions.
Richard Zhu, Managing Director for Treasury and Capital Markets (APAC) at Finastra stated in a press release, “This partnership fills a crucial gap in the region by providing local banks with access to a world-class treasury solution backed by TIM Corp’s managed services expertise. We are confident this will drive sustainable growth and innovation for clients. It also reinforces Finastra’s commitment to empowering financial institutions globally while strengthening its local presence in the Philippines.”
As the Philippine fintech industry continues its exponential growth trajectory, fueled by initiatives like the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) push for digital payments and the increasing interconnectedness of financial services, the need for sophisticated yet accessible treasury management solutions becomes paramount.
This partnership between Finastra and TIM Corp is poised to be a key enabler for Philippine financial institutions, empowering them to navigate the complexities of the digital age, optimize their treasury operations, and ultimately foster sustainable growth and innovation for their customers in this dynamic market.
