Philip Barnett, Executive Vice Chair at 10x Banking said: “My vision aligns completely with 10x Banking’s mission to make banking better for institutions, customers, and ultimately society. The needs of the industry have changed dramatically in recent years. I recognise first-hand from my extensive experience in this sector that legacy vendors are constrained because the architecture and capabilities needed today were not even contemplated when they began their journeys. The consequence is that they can’t simply pivot to solve the needs of the industry today. With world-class capabilities proven across diverse markets, my focus is now to guide 10x Banking into a new chapter of execution and client onboarding at scale. 10x Banking has architected for current and future needs from day one, giving banks a solution that’s both modern and future-proof.”
