Case Study: Bank of Ceylon UK Ltd. sharpens agility and strengthens compliance with Finastra Fusion Essence

Bank of Ceylon Sharpens Agility with Outside-in Banking Transformation

Bank of Ceylon UK Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sri Lanka’s Bank of Ceylon, faced the dual challenge of delivering highly personalized service to a niche UK market while keeping pace with evolving customer expectations and stricter UK regulations. To modernize its core banking and improve agility, the bank turned to Finastra and adopted the Fusion Essence platform as the foundation for an outside‑in transformation.

Finastra implemented Fusion Essence as an integrated, connected core supporting retail, treasury and trade finance and introduced a “Product Factory” to speed product design and multi‑channel distribution. The Finastra solution and close vendor support have enabled the bank to launch products faster, deliver more responsive, personalized services, gain better visibility and control over data and processes, and simplify compliance—reducing business risk and strengthening competitive position.
