Sibos 2026:Finastra launches supply chain finance solution to help banks scale working capital programs

On the first day of Sibos 2026, Finastra launched Finastra Supply Chain Finance (SCF), a solution that helps banks quickly scale working capital programs and seize growth opportunities.

Integrated with Finastra’s Trade Innovation and Loan IQ platforms via the Nexus API suite, SCF enables banks to efficiently offer connected trade, lending, and supply chain finance services, accelerating their time to market.

The launch is the latest phase of Finastra’s continued investment in Trade Innovation and Loan IQ, extending the company’s vision for a connected working capital ecosystem.

This approach enables banks to manage trade, lending, and supply chain finance products through a unified commercial and risk management framework.

End-to-end platform supporting the complete supply chain finance lifecycle

Finastra SCF is an end-to-end platform for managing buyer and supplier acquisition, onboarding, fulfilment, servicing, risk management, and secondary market distribution.

The solution delivers straight-through processing, connects with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and trade ecosystem partners through the Nexus API suite, and provides a robust data foundation for decisioning and portfolio management.

The platform features a cloud-native architecture and offers flexible deployment options, including on-premise and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). It provides the resilience and scalability that Finastra’s top solutions deliver to thousands of banks worldwide.

Vinay Mendonca, Head of Product, Trade Supply Chain Finance and Corporate Channels at Finastra, said, “Banks are looking for ways to bring new working capital solutions to market faster to capture new revenue streams delivered through straight-through processing (STP) journeys, and lower costs, while addressing operational risks and regulatory complexity.”

This launch marks an important milestone in the evolution of our Trade Innovation platform as we look to bring more API, AI, and cloud-led innovation to the market, leveraging our deep expertise in the trade domain to help institutions innovate and grow.”
