As part of efforts to deepen collaboration and foster stronger relationships within the financial services ecosystem, officials from Penguin Solutions and Interswitch recently paid courtesy visits to First Bank, Access Bank, and Zenith Bank.

The visits come on the heels of the acquisition of Stratus Technologies by Penguin Solutions, a move that marks a new chapter in an already fruitful partnership between Penguin and Interswitch. Interswitch currently leverages cutting-edge infrastructure solutions originally developed by Stratus Technologies, now under the Penguin Solutions umbrella, to support Nigerian banks in their digital transformation journeys.

These solutions ranging from private cloud storage to data centre infrastructure and AI-ready platforms have become increasingly critical as banks scale operations and modernize their technology stacks to meet evolving customer expectations and regulatory requirements.

The visits served as an opportunity for both Penguin Solutions and Interswitch to reaffirm their commitment to providing secure, always-on, and resilient infrastructure tailored to the dynamic needs of the financial services industry. It also offered a platform to strengthen existing ties, gain deeper insights into operational priorities, and identify areas for future collaboration.

In an industry where uptime, speed, and scalability are non-negotiable, the alliance between Interswitch and Penguin Solutions reinforces the shared goal of delivering robust, high-availability systems that empower banks to innovate with confidence.

As Nigeria’s financial landscape continues to evolve, strategic partnerships like this will remain pivotal in shaping the future of banking through technology that’s not just built to perform but built to last.
