Infosys, Workday to modernise Metro Bank’s finance ops with cloud-native platform

India's second-largest IT services firm, Infosys, on Wednesday, announced a strategic collaboration with Metro Bank, one of the UK’s leading independent banks, and Workday, a US-based AI-driven enterprise platform provider, to modernise the bank’s core finance operations.

Under this partnership, Infosys and Workday will help Metro Bank transition from legacy financial systems to a unified, cloud-native platform, leveraging a full suite of Workday solutions. The transformation aims to enhance agility, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making within the bank’s finance function.

Infosys will implement key Workday modules, including Financial Management, Accounting Centre, Spend Management, and Prism Analytics, helping Metro Bank centralise financial data, automate key processes, and strengthen governance and risk management. The platform overhaul is expected to accelerate financial closing, improve reporting accuracy, and offer greater transparency through enhanced controls and audit trails.

“We’re continuing to transform our platforms through our partnership with Infosys, helping our digital advancement,” said Marc Page, Chief Financial Officer, Metro Bank. “This collaboration with Infosys and Workday will help to unify our core finance operations, providing colleagues with self-service tools and simplifying daily operations. This supports our long-term growth strategy and will help us to scale and evolve in the future.”

The move comes amid a broader wave of cloud transformation across the banking and financial services sector, as institutions look to replace fragmented systems with AI-enabled platforms that can respond to regulatory changes and customer demands more quickly.

“Metro Bank’s decision to work with Workday reflects a clear vision: to simplify complexity, unlock insight, and empower their people,” said Daniel Pell, Vice President and Country Leader, Workday UK & Ireland. “Together with Infosys, we’re proud to support a transformation that will position the bank to move faster, operate smarter, and shape the future of customer service.”

Dinesh Rao, EVP and Chief Delivery Officer, Infosys, added that the partnership underscores Infosys’ leadership in enabling end-to-end modernisation in the financial services industry. “By providing a holistic approach to Metro Bank’s transformation journey, we’re helping them unlock exponential efficiency and strategic agility,” he said.

Infosys recently reported a 2.5% sequential rise in net profit to ₹6,212 crore for the September quarter (Q2 FY25), driven by strong traction in digital, cloud, and AI-led transformation deals. The company’s large deal total contract value (TCV) stood at $3.3 billion, reflecting steady demand across financial services and retail. 

The Bengaluru-based IT exporter continues to sharpen its focus on AI-first, cloud-native solutions, with initiatives such as Topaz, its enterprise AI suite, helping clients accelerate modernisation. Collaborations like the one with Metro Bank and Workday further underline Infosys’ growing influence in intelligent automation and financial transformation globally.
