The story

Bank of Sydney is a licensed Australian ADI that has historically served the Lebanese-Australian and broader migrant community in Sydney, offering retail and business banking products. In 2025 the bank announced a cloud-first digital transformation by adopting Infosys Finacle as its core banking system, signalling a modernisation push to compete with digital-native challengers and larger regional banks.
