We constantly work to find solutions within. At times, we also look outwards, for meaningful partnerships that will simplify money movement for our partner businesses. Today, we have embarked on another such collaboration. We are pleased to announce the <\/span><b>acquisition of IZealiant Technologies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>a leader in developing innovative payments solutions for banks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2015, Pune-based IZealiant provides software products and services to banks and financial institutions to enable electronic payments. <\/span><b>This acquisition will help us pursue state-of-the-art payment banking technologies that can<\/b> <b>not only meet evolving business needs but also tackle some of the financial industry\u2019s most complex challenges<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banks are key stakeholders in the payments ecosystem.
