Case Study: United Asia Finance Limited achieves 20% increase in digital business and faster time-to-market with VMware Tanzu

UA Finance Drives Innovation with VMware Cloud Native Application Platform

United Asia Finance (UA), a Hong Kong consumer finance firm founded in 1993, faced growing competition and the rise of virtual banking that exposed limitations in its legacy, inflexible IT infrastructure. To continue innovating with AI, big data, eKYC and other FinTech trends, UA needed greater agility, security and a platform that could support modern, cloud-native applications and faster time to market.

UA partnered with VMware to deploy a cloud‑centric SDDC platform using VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition, hyperconverged infrastructure and professional services for full‑stack modernization. The new environment simplified cloud management, strengthened security, accelerated DevOps and enabled the launch of an advanced YES UA app with eKYC and AI—driving over a 20% increase in digital business and providing a scalable foundation for future innovation.
