Tonik is starting operations in 2020 in the Philippines via its own bank license, with support and R&D functions based in Singapore and Chennai, India.

Fusion Essence Cloud will be deployed out of the Microsoft Azure Southeast Asia Region (Singapore data centre), supporting Tonik with both low latency and data residency.

The deployment will allow the bank to have a low cost of entry into the market and increase business volumes.

The bank will also benefit from ongoing software updates as well as access to further innovation through FusionFabric.cloud, Finastra’s platform for open innovation and the development of applications.
