"We welcome this partnership with Temenos as bank partnerships play an instrumental role in Australia's fintech ecosystem. Yet ensuring emerging fintech technology is bank-grade upon launch remains a challenge for the sector," FinTech Australia Head of Strategic Partnerships Rehan D'Almeida said.

"Temenos is tackling a key issue in the global fintech industry. So we welcome their engagement with FinTech Australia and our local ecosystem and look forward to working closely with them."

Phillip Finnegan, Managing Director - Pacific Region, Temenos, said: "We are pleased to join FinTech Australia and are committed to open collaboration and innovation in the banking ecosystem. Temenos has developed the industry's standard banking platform, open to fintechs in Australia to easily create solutions on top and scale across a vast banking audience that serves the banking needs of 1.2 billion people worldwide."
