Under the agreement, FPT will act as audax’s primary regional partner in the Asia Pacific, handling development, testing, deployment, and ongoing operational support.
The partnership combines audax’s digital banking platform with FPT’s capabilities in cloud-native development, microservices architecture, DevSecOps, and agile delivery.
FPT Software CEO Pham Minh Tuan said: “Building on our nearly three decades of experience in the financial services domain, and a longstanding partnership with Standard Chartered Ventures across multiple strategic projects, we will accelerate digital banking transformation and help our customers expand access to secure, future-ready financial services.”
The initiative targets the underbanked populations in the Asia Pacific, enabling financial institutions to update legacy systems and adopt models like embedded finance and Banking-as-a-Service to meet the demand for digital financial services.
