The firm is being honored for its commitment to working closely with Finastra to deliver innovative solutions to the global banking industry, including the largest-ever Fusion Loan IQ deal, the first Fusion Loan IQ project in mainland China, and a record five innovation projects relating to payments in the cloud, treasury and risk-as-a-service, and more. Accenture currently has more than 300 consultants who are certified to deliver Finastra solutions, with an additional 200 in the process of being certified.
