New Delhi, Mar 20 (IANS): Fintech company Kiya.ai on Wednesday said that it strengthened its global expansion in the South East Asia region and aims to onboard more than 20 Financial Institutions (FIs) in the next three years.

"There has been a transformation of perception for Indian fintech companies globally," Rajesh Mirjankar, MD & CEO of Kiya.ai, said in a statement.

"Indian fintechs like us have proven our capabilities in product development, innovation, and scalability, particularly in areas like UPI, Aadhaar, Jan Dhan Yojana, etc., and this has given us a competitive advantage to expand globally," he added.

CBB has partnered with Kiya.ai for a comprehensive suite of banking solutions, including Core Banking, Loan Origination, Loan Management, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Mobile Banking, and Internet Banking tailored for both retail and corporate clients.
