Temenos has announced that Nagarro, a global digital engineering expert, has signed an agreement to license and further develop Temenos Country Model Banks for financial institutions in Romania and Poland. The agreement opens new opportunities for growth for Temenos with enhanced local functionality and service capability provided by Nagarro in these markets.

Country Model Banks are a key differentiator for Temenos and through such licensing agreements, the company can scale this competitive advantage. It can further develop and build new model banks compatible with the banking solutions on its composable platform and SaaS offerings on Temenos Banking Cloud.

As part of this new agreement, Nagarro will invest in and develop regulatory and business-specific localized functionality to enhance the Temenos Model Banks for financial institutions in Romania and Poland.

Nagarro, which has over 19,000 experts in 36 countries, has been operating in Romania since 1998 and in Poland since 2014 across 7 delivery centres. The Country Model Bank agreement enables Temenos customers in these markets to benefit from Nagarro’s established presence and regional expertise.

With over 25 years of experience in the industry, Nagarro supports the end-to-end banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) spectrum, including core banking, payments, lending and leasing, mobility and cognitive services, and financial services (investment banking, asset and wealth management).

This agreement builds on the strong existing relationship between the two companies, which has seen Nagarro complete more than 43 successful projects involving Temenos Transact implementation and transformation, along with 20 Temenos upgrades, and engage in 350 projects across diverse Temenos solutions.

Ross Mallace, EVP and Global Head of SaaS & Partner Ecosystem, Temenos, said, “We are excited to announce this agreement with Nagarro, which opens new opportunities for Temenos with financial institutions in Romania and Poland. Nagarro will become a trusted partner for the development and maintenance of Country Model Banks for these two countries and help customers in their progressive technology renovation.
