UST Global will seek to evolve the scope of consulting, service, platform, and product engineering offerings to create new growth opportunities for clients in the banking and financial services sector. Recent deal wins demonstrate its ability to deliver value in diverse areas including architecture, data integration, and implementation services, a company spokesperson said.

Digital transformation in banking

UST already supports operations for two of the top three US-based asset and wealth management companies. It saw significant traction in client base and revenue in the past year due to its innovation and personalised approach to financial services, the spokesperson said. It hopes to expand its reach in the sector further by leveraging two decades of domain experience to provide technology solutions to prominent companies.

Mehmet Pasa, General Manager, Banking and Payments, UST, said the dynamic range of solutions has redefined digital transformation in the finance and banking industry. “We are partnering with leaders in this sector so that we equip ourselves to meet the growing demand for tangible digital transformation impact,” he said.
