L&T Infotech FSTI to Offer Canadian Financial Institutions an Automated CANNEX-based Transaction Processing Service
-- The cloud-hosted solution enables banks, mutual fund and insurance companies to automatically process GIC and DII transactions on L&T Infotech's Unitrax® platform --
MISSISSAUGA, ON, July 19, 2012 /CNW/ - L&T Infotech Financial Services Technologies Inc. (FSTI) today announced the expansion of its transfer agency record keeping solution to support the CANNEX Financial Network (CFN) for the automated processing of Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) transactions. The solution is available for financial institutions that are already or looking into using L&T Infotech FSTI's leading Unitrax® solution to improve their back-office transaction processing and administration services.
The decision to expand L&T Infotech FSTI's platform to support the industry-leading CANNEX solution was a natural evolvement of the company's service offering to the marketplace as it has already been supporting other core features for GIC and Daily Interest Investment (DII) transactions and administration processing.
According to Mark Hubbard, head of L&T Infotech FSTI, "It is part of our corporate strategy to align our technology with where our clients are going, both within the transfer agency space and beyond. An automated, cloud hosted solution is the most efficient way to lower the total cost of ownership, increase operating efficiency and ensure ongoing adherence to industry standards at the same time."
Alex Melvin, President of Cannex Financial Exchanges Ltd added, "In the past 12 months CANNEX has facilitated the electronic purchase of $43.7 billion worth of GICs and term deposits with 52 financial institutions in a fully Straight Through Processing environment. We look forward to making these services available to L&T Infotech and all its Unitrax clients."
