Temenos Joins Forces with MAS to Advance Sustainable Finance Through Gprnt
by Fintech News Singapore November 16, 2023Temenos shared that it is the first core banking software vendor to collaborate with Gprnt, the newly launched integrated digital platform by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), aimed at advancing tech solutions and product development while exploring data integration within sustainable finance.
Gprnt, a product of MAS’ Project Greenprint, aims to meet the financial sector and real economy’s demands for reliable climate and sustainability-related data.
Temenos joined MAS and other stakeholders on the ESG Stage at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2023 to discuss potential opportunities offered by Gprnt.
The focus will be on supporting financial institutions in their efforts to decarbonise their balance sheets, manage ESG-related risks, and comply with regulatory requirements.
One of the potential areas of collaboration between Temenos and Gprnt is the enhancement of Know Your Customer (KYC) processes by integrating verifiable ESG data from the Gprnt platform directly into banks’ client onboarding procedures.
Additionally, data analytics incorporating ESG metrics for loan origination systems are on the agenda, allowing banks to set sustainability-related targets for their loan portfolios.
