"This is an exciting time to return to Misys. Banks are rigorously working to deliver greater customer value and drive global efficiencies in their trade and supply chain finance programmes. Misys has invested in delivering both the operational backbone for banks to streamline their trade business, as well as the functionality to satisfy corporate supply chain finance demands," said Hennah. "Its solutions delivery model has been instrumental in winning major deals over the past year supporting global banks' trade finance operations, as well as major regional banks in Africa, the Middle East and APAC. I look forward to continuing to build on this momentum and further developing the thought leadership behind the market-leading Misys trade solution."

In the last twelve months the integrated Misys trade finance solution has been selected by four international tier one banks who saw value in its global processing capabilities as they look to drive more customer centric global and local trade and supply chain finance offerings to their customers. These new clients join over 170 Misys trade finance clients worldwide.
