i-exceed Debuts Corporate Mobile Banking and Onboarding Apps on Finastra’s FusionStore
By Effie Foxtrot · 31 May 2021

i-exceed technology solutions has integrated its Appzillon Corporate Mobile Banking and Corporate Onboarding applications into Finastra’s FusionStore marketplace. This move allows Finastra’s extensive global banking clientele to access modular, digital-first tools designed to streamline complex corporate treasury functions and automate the onboarding of new business clients through a certified cloud platform.
What was announced
The announcement covers the availability of two specific applications on Finastra’s FusionFabric.cloud platform. The Appzillon Corporate Mobile Banking app is designed for corporate treasurers, offering mobile-native features such as transaction approvals, account dashboards, and the ability to initiate service requests or search transactions on-the-go. The second tool, Appzillon Corporate Onboarding, targets the friction often found in business banking by digitizing the entry process for new-to-bank (NTB) corporates and their signatories. This app facilitates automated information capture, e-KYC, and due diligence through both self-service and assisted channels.
A key technical feature of the onboarding solution is its integration with Finastra’s downstream systems. When a new corporate customer is onboarded, their Customer Information File (CIF) and associated data are automatically generated for products within Fusion Trade Innovation and Fusion Cash Management. Both apps were built using i-exceed’s Appzillon Digital Banking Platform, which utilizes a "micro-app" architecture. This modular approach reportedly reduces development time by up to 50% compared to traditional methods. By joining the FusionStore, these apps become accessible to Finastra’s network of more than 8,600 financial institutions, allowing for faster deployment of new digital services without the need for extensive custom development.
"We are excited to offer our Appzillon Corporate Mobile Banking and Appzillon Corporate Onboarding apps on the FusionStore. This gives us a unique opportunity to extend the reach of our offerings to a much wider audience, as we leverage Finastra’s position as a leader in the industry. Globally, banks are focusing on offering digital solutions to their corporate customers, from on-boarding to full servicing and enabling their customers to initiate transactions and service requests 24/7 by bringing in Straight Through Processing (STP) of all transactions initiated through channels. As we embark on this journey, our apps will truly transform the banking experience of corporate customers."

What this means
The corporate banking sector is currently undergoing a "retail-ization" phase where business users expect the same seamless digital experiences they find in consumer apps. This announcement highlights the growing pressure on traditional core banking providers to act as platforms rather than closed systems. By opening the FusionStore to specialized vendors like i-exceed, Finastra is acknowledging that it cannot build every niche feature itself. For the wider industry, this move raises questions about the long-term viability of bespoke corporate banking builds. As modular "micro-apps" become the standard, banks that continue to rely on rigid, monolithic legacy systems will find themselves at a severe disadvantage in terms of speed-to-market and customer retention.
