BIAN executive director Hans Tesselaar said: “Thought Machine’s cloud-native core banking engine Vault is recognized and proven as one of the most configurable, agile, and resilient platforms available in the market today.

“As they join BIAN, Thought Machine will bring their vast skills and expertise required to build and deploy Vault, which will be of immense value to the industry as we set a universal standard for modern, scalable core banking infrastructure.”

Under the partnership, Thought Machine has joined BIAN’s Strategic Advisory Group that establishes specific standards that improve global banking infrastructure.

Thought Machine will deploy microservices-based core banking architecture for its banking partners such as Lloyds Banking Group, Atom bank, SEB, and Standard Chartered.

Thought Machine CIO Peter Ebden said: “We are proud to be working with BIAN on this journey to standardize and promote modern banking infrastructure through a common architectural framework.

“We look forward to working alongside banks, technology providers, and other industry players to build best practices for the future of the banking industry.”
