o   Account and transaction level reporting for both domestic and international activities

o   Country level visibility of foreign currency accounts held, and banks used by customers 

John Carroll, Head of International and Transactional Banking, Santander UK, said, “This new platform will allow us to support UK businesses of all sizes to seamlessly manage their international transaction and cash management banking needs.  It will also help us to develop and grow relationships with existing customers and support the international growth needs of new customers. There has never been a more important and exciting time for businesses to consider international expansion. By collaborating with Finacle, we’re able to offer our customers a crucial tool to support both them and our own international banking strategy now and in the future.”
