DXC and Aptys Solutions Partner to Modernize Payments Connectivity for U.S. Financial Institutions

ASHBURN, Va., Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, and Aptys Solutions, a provider of end-to-end payments solutions serving more than 5,500 U.S. financial institutions, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate payments modernization and simplify how financial institutions (FIs) connect to and manage payments services across networks and channels. The partnership will enable FIs to enhance efficiency, reduce operational risk, and improve customer and member experiences.

Aptys Solutions delivers a unified payments platform that supports ACH, wire, instant payments (FedNow® and RTP®), image exchange, and digital channels, along with directory services, fraud controls, and funds management tools. Through this partnership, DXC will integrate Aptys' payments connectivity and orchestration capabilities with its banking transformation portfolio, enabling FIs to streamline payments processing, improve interoperability across systems, and reduce total cost of ownership.

Together, DXC and Aptys aim to democratize access to next-generation banking innovation. While Aptys' network of more than 5,500 community banks and credit unions represents a critical part of the U.S. financial ecosystem, these institutions often lack the same access to cutting-edge capabilities as the largest banks. Through this partnership, FIs of all sizes will now be able to tap into DXC's modernization and innovation stack—including embedded finance, digital assets, and AI-driven services—delivered seamlessly through Aptys' payments platform.

"FIs are seeking practical ways to modernize payments while managing cost, complexity, and risk," said Sandeep Bhanote, Global Head and General Manager of Financial Services at DXC. "By combining Aptys' modern payments infrastructure with DXC's deep expertise in core banking environments, we are helping financial institutions take a phased, pragmatic approach to modernization."

Aptys provides API-based connectivity for account verification, balance inquiry, directory services, payments initiation, and messaging. Today, many FIs support these services at cost while third parties access and resell the resulting data at significant margins. Together, DXC and Aptys will enable direct bank-to-bank processing and help institutions capture more of the value generated by their own payments infrastructure, reducing reliance on intermediary fintech layers and strengthening control and transparency across payments workflows.

"Aptys Solutions empowers thousands of financial institutions to deliver payment experiences that are faster, smarter, and more secure," said Naseer Nasim, Chief Executive Officer of Aptys Solutions. "Our partnership with DXC brings the scale, reliability, and operational strength required to help institutions modernize with confidence while keeping trust at the center of every payment relationship."

The initial phase of the partnership focuses on enabling core payments API transactions, with plans to build upon these foundational use cases to modernize traditional financial infrastructure and enhance the way institutions deliver services. Future phases will introduce new capabilities such as digital wallets, custody, and wealth management services.

DXC and Aptys Solutions Partner to Modernize Payments Connectivity for U.S. Financial Institutions

China's 15th Five-Year Plan set to bring about fresh momentum for global growth

BEIJING, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) will not only present major opportunities for the country's development, but will also create new momentum for the growth of the global economy, participants said at an international conference that opened on Dec 1.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Understanding China Conference in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, they said this once again underscores that China does not pursue a closed or isolationist path to modernization.

Li Shulei, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, which adopted the recommendations for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan, decided that China will expand opening-up at the institutional level, take the initiative to open wider to the world, create greater space for two-way investment cooperation, and pursue high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.

These key decisions provide the policy guarantees needed for China to share its development opportunities with other countries and advance common development, he said.

Li, who is also head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized that opening-up and cooperation for mutual benefit are integral to Chinese modernization.

Former Ethiopian president Mulatu Teshome said that China's 15th Five-Year Plan demonstrates the country's determination to strengthen the foundations for basically achieving socialist modernization by 2035.

"The Chinese path to modernization offers a new choice to developing countries and particularly to African countries, as well as to the Global South at large, by presenting an alternative model to the traditionally conceived perception of Western-style development," Teshome said.

He noted that the Chinese approach is grounded in national realities and features priorities such as high-quality development, common prosperity, harmony between humanity and nature, and innovation.

"The success stories registered by the 'Chinese path to modernization' model offer a new option to other developing nations, and this option, I believe, can contribute to the realization of a community with a shared future for humanity," he said.

Zheng Bijian, founding chairman of the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy, said the 15th Five-Year Plan again makes it clear that China will never follow a closed, self-isolating path to modernization.

"On the contrary, we welcome the active participation of countries around the world in China's modernization drive, and view China's reform and development as opportunities for the common progress of all nations," Zheng said.

Andrey Bystritskiy, chairman of the board of the Foundation for Development and Support of the Valdai Discussion Club, a Russian think tank, said that China's domestic success has paved the way for it to play a constructive role in promoting the common development of humanity through its own agenda and a distinctive development model.

Bystritskiy added that the process of Chinese modernization has strengthened China's confidence in its own capabilities, reinforced belief in its development path and injected both immediate and long-term momentum into global development.

Since its launch in 2013, the Understanding China Conference has been held eight times, serving as an important platform for cultural and intellectual exchanges and becoming a key window for the world to observe China's development strategy.

This year's event has gathered a record 800-plus participants from home and abroad including officials, scholars, entrepreneurs and representatives of international organizations.
