Bank Muscat of Oman Implements TCS BaNCS for Fund and Investment Management

Bank Muscat, the financial services provider in the Sultanate of Oman, for its fund and investment banking operations has implemented TCS BaNCS Universal Banking from Tata Consultancy Services. This deployment is a strategic upgrade to its earlier platform solution and will provide extensive capabilities for multiple asset classes such as funds, equities, fixed income and money markets.

Business growth and the underlying complexity of operations were the key drivers for this upgrade to modern technology. TCS Financial Solutions has been a strategic partner of Bank Muscat for the past 15 years and TCS BaNCS’ advanced breadth and depth of this additional functionality will position the bank for higher growth and operational efficiency. Bank Muscat selected TCS BaNCS Universal Banking after a long evaluation and selection process. This TCS BaNCS’ upgrade will optimize the Bank’s operational efficiency and processes. The new solution will both enhance workflows and reduce the time taken on fund and investment banking operations.

R Vivekanand, Vice President and Co-Head of TCS Financial Solutions, said: “With Bank Muscat going live on the latest version of TCS BaNCS Universal Banking, our partnership has moved to the next level. The bank will be able to leverage further improvements made in the latest release in cross-asset, mid-to-back-office capabilities for the fund and investment banking and in turn enhance their stature in the region. This deployment in Oman further reinforces TCS BaNCS’ extensive leadership and customer footprint throughout the Middle East.”
