Volante Technologies has announced that Azqore has selected Volante’s Payments as a Service (PaaS) to deliver SEPA instant payments and ISO 20022 messaging services to its customer base.

Azqore and Volante started working together when Azqore selected Volante’s low-code ISO 20022 service to accelerate its multi-country, multi-bank, ISO 20022 adoption programme.

Anders Ohrneman, Head of IT Post-Trade & Operations, Azqore, said: “As customer demand continues to evolve, it is crucial that financial institutions of all kinds have the solutions they need to stay competitive, especially as we’re seeing an increase in the pace of regulatory change.”

The extension of the partnership represents an important step forward in Azqore’s payments modernisation strategy

Regulatory considerations played a big role in Azqore’s selection of Volante’s Payments as a Service, due to the requirement to meet the aggressive deadlines for SEPA Instant Payments mandated by the European Union.

Other key factors were the need for rapid time to market for new services, tight integration into Azqore’s core banking infrastructure and the opportunity to create an extensible platform for future payments modernisation.  

Belhassen Belkhechine, Payments & Operations Product Manager, Azqore continued: “With Volante’s Payments as a Service, we can bring new instant payments and ISO 20022 services to market faster. We also have built the foundation of a platform for innovation for all our customers, easily extensible to future payment types and services.”
