Have worked on long-term trade finance projects and efficiently validated transaction reports

When we face any issues, we raise a ticket to Finastra, and then we track it, depending on the issues, using a separate tracking portal on a daily or weekly basis based on severity and priority. For the support team, I would give them a score of eight out of ten.

Dr. Mohan Kumar

Vice President & Delivery Head BFSI at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Has supported rapid deployment of digital banking while revealing a need for more innovation features

Mambu can be improved if it can keep up with current market trends and introduce innovative products, such as Buy Now, Pay Later features, which are not available out of the box at this moment. Mambu has a good API available that can easily connect to third-party integrations. However, if they can integrate themselves and come up with front-end solutions, such as Backbase or i-exceed, along with AWS, Azure, and other cloud partners, it will help us to be more adaptive and scalable, covering a broader market. Mambu needs to focus more on customer orientation. If they can provide self-guided learning materials for people to learn how to configure and use Mambu, it will be a great help.
