MICROCAPITAL BRIEF: Fidelity Information Services (FIS) Launches “Banking on Demand” Management Information System in India, Targeting Microfinance Institutions (MFIs), Other Small Financial Services Companies

Fidelity Information Services (FIS), a US-based banking and payment technology provider, has launched “Banking on Demand,”[1] a service that uses “shared technology infrastructure”[1] to allow financial services companies to manage their operations without establishing their own banking infrastructure. The technology is intended to accommodate comprehensive banking analysis, data migration, “door-step banking”[1] and transformation of institutions into full-service banks.

Ramas Venkatachalam, the managing director of FIS India and South Asia, said that “technology will be the biggest enabler for new bank entrants to deliver on the mandate they have been given to bring financial access to everyone in India”[1].

As reported by MicroCapital in October, FIS recently established a Financial Inclusion Lab in Bengaluru, India. As of December 31, 2014, FIS reported total assets of USD 14.5 billion and clients in 130 countries.
