With Gravity as its core banking platform, the bank will process over 250 billion transactions annually, 38,000 transactions per second with no interruption.

Santander México country head Felipe García Asencio said: “This is a decisive step in transitioning towards an open platform with modern and efficient data management as well as greater scalability, resilience and capability to monitor transactions.

Last month, Santander announced the merger of Openbank and Santander Consumer Finance (SCF) into a single legal entity, under the Openbank brand.
