Fusion Risk to streamline lending business operations and provide full compliance with international accounting standard – IFRS9.

London, UK, November 20, 2018, Finastra announced today that FINCA Impact Finance, a global network of 20 community-based microfinance institutions and banks, has gone live with Fusion Risk to improve its short-term regulatory compliance and reporting in line with the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS9). Implemented in partnership with Neoflex, a leading Russian IT services company, Fusion Risk is also expected to optimize the bank’s day-to-day operations and make its lending business more efficient and profitable.

“We needed a solution that would allow us to comply with regulatory requirements and manage the efficiency and profitability of our lending business around the globe, ” said Roman Hingorani, FINCA Impact Finance’s vice president & CFO. “Fusion Risk, which is being implemented by a diverse team that cuts across our Finance and Information Technology departments, eliminates the complexity around regulatory compliance by implementing single data management processes for FINCA Impact Finance’s 20 subsidiaries.”
