ASHBURN, Va., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, today announced the launch of DXC CoreIgnite, a cloud‑native revenue orchestration platform designed to give financial institutions a single connection point to fintech ecosystems, orchestrate financial workflows, and activate new revenue opportunities — all while working with existing core systems.

Built to operate across both DXC's Hogan core banking platform and non‑Hogan environments, DXC CoreIgnite enables banks to modernize incrementally while maximizing existing infrastructure investments. Through pre‑built integrations and real‑time orchestration, CoreIgnite provides direct access to payment networks, digital asset ecosystems, embedded finance capabilities, and a growing partner network including Ripple, Euronet, Splitit, Aptys Solutions, and ArcOne.

The financial services industry is being reshaped by embedded finance, digital assets, and real‑time payments — creating new opportunities for growth and customer engagement. Yet many institutions remain constrained by fragmented integrations, legacy architectures, and the cost and complexity of modernization. As competition intensifies, DXC CoreIgnite gives banks the ability to quickly connect partners, launch new offerings, and scale innovation with greater speed and flexibility.

Designed by DXC engineers and powered by decades of banking expertise, CoreIgnite provides a single orchestration layer that helps institutions connect, manage, and scale fintech capabilities without replacing the core systems they rely on every day. Its composable architecture and real‑time execution model reduce integration complexity, accelerate time‑to‑value, and enable banks to introduce new services more efficiently.
