SBS remains committed to its mission to make financial services accessible to everyone, everywhere, at any time. This includes providing cloud-native and modular core banking systems, curating customer experiences through innovative digital engagement solutions, and embracing open finance and embedded finance with non-banking entities. The transition to a cloud and SaaS model will continue to be a central focus.

“We’ve been evolving alongside our clients for many years, continuously enhancing their capabilities and introducing them to innovative products. Our commitment to providing the best technology remains unwavering. As we set our sights on future growth, this name change reflects our ambitious plans to stay sharp and focused alongside our partners and customers. We’re now better positioned than ever to support our customers, ensuring they are well-equipped for long- term success,” said Eric Bierry, CEO of SBS.
