The Workday tools are expected to help the UK bank centralise the financial information, automate processes, and improve its business workflows.
The digital transformation is expected to enable more agile decision-making, support future growth, and accelerate financial closing and reporting.
In addition, the new system aims to strengthen governance and risk management by enhancing controls and audit trails.
Infosys EVP – chief delivery officer Dinesh Rao said, “Our work with Metro Bank exemplifies our deep expertise in enabling comprehensive enterprise modernisation within the banking and financial services industry.
“By providing a holistic approach to their transformation journey, we are helping them unlock exponential efficiency and strategic agility, ensuring their technology landscape evolves with their bold aspirations.
“We are consistently seeing the banking and financial services sector embrace cloud-first strategies to gain unmatched flexibility and intelligence, and we believe platforms like Workday are fundamental to driving sustained growth and innovation for the future.”
In April, Metro Bank unveiled an AI-based scam detection service in collaboration with Ask Silver to help customers identify fraudulent communications.
The tool, named the Metro Bank Scam Checker, enables personal and business clients to immediately determine if they are at risk of falling victim to scams.
