Case Study: USSC Banks achieves 60% TCO reduction and rapid, reliable financial services for the underbanked with Nutanix

USSC Banks on Nutanix in Providing Crucial Financial Services to the Underbanked

Universal Storefront Services Corp. (USSC) is a Philippines-based financial services provider with 850+ stores that processes roughly 5% of domestic and international money transfers (about $3B annually). Facing frequent downtime, high management overhead from a legacy three‑tier architecture, and a growing, competitive market, USSC needed a scalable, compliant on‑premises cloud to reliably deliver convenient financial services to underbanked communities.

USSC migrated core systems to the Nutanix Cloud Platform—deploying AOS storage, AHV virtualization and Intelligent Operations across two clusters for disaster recovery—and now runs 98% of its workloads on Nutanix. The change cut IT TCO by 60% (with ~40% savings in maintenance and power), delivered 99.998% uptime with near‑synchronous replication and sub‑five‑minute RPOs, sped up provisioning from days to minutes, and enabled new digital services like e‑wallets and EMV‑QR cash cards to better serve underserved customers.
