Finastra, a global provider of financial software applications and marketplaces, and ADVANTAQ, the leading compliance technology partner in the Caribbean, today announced that ADVANTAQ’s compliance solutions are now directly integrated with Finastra Opics, offering Caribbean-based banks the ability to onboard their customers in one portal, creating a seamless customer experience.
This partnership offers banks using Opics a seamless vendor experience and recurring data validation checks. With the ability to onboard customers in one portal, banks can utilize a single vendor for Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) management, enabling increased operational efficiencies and eliminating the need for multiple vendor relationships.
