Now the two have signed an agreement that will see an extension of the Avaloq deployment in DBS Wealth Management, as well as an enlargement in the form of new elements and components.
The bank will also work with Avaloq on modernising its technology architecture across tech stacks, application programming interface (API), microservices, open shift containerization and cloud-native applications.
