Australia's Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) has successfully implemented Infosys Finacle's technology for agricultural financing. In collaboration with Infosys Finacle, a subsidiary of Infosys, RIC, a government-backed finance provider for farmers, completed the transformation project in just nine months.
The adoption of Finacle's Digital Lending Solution Suite, including Finacle Online Banking and Finacle Alerts Solution, enables RIC to offer fully digital financial lending services to Australian farmers, reducing costs and improving self-service options. RIC's digital transformation includes:
Cost Savings: RIC moved to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model on AWS, bringing key services in-house, leading to significant cost reductions.
