As part of the agreement, Barclays will deploy the FIS Profile service, a cloud-ready, high-performance core banking platform that manages money at rest – deposits, accounts, and balances – while delivering real-time, multi-currency processing that reduces risk, costs and time to market.

FIS Profile’s open architecture enables real-time data streaming, seamless integration with consumer-facing channels, and the flexibility to connect best-fit solutions across Barclays advanced technology ecosystem.
