Commerzbank has completed the migration of its global FX, FX derivatives, equities, and commodities activity to Murex’s integrated MX.3 platform.
TeamTek and Infosys supported the integration of the Murex platform into Commerzbank’s infrastructure. TeamTek played a significant role in the migration program, from the testing automation implementations to the full end-to-end delivery of the equity migration project. Infosys made a comprehensive suite of services on MX.3 available to Commerzbank. It carried out development, integration, testing, and migration activities alongside go-live and aftercare support.

Murex has been successfully onboarding big names into its MX3. platform, including Dutch banking giant Rabobank which migrated its back office, operations, and finance to the MX.3 platform in Brazil. This move is part of Rabobank Brazil’s broader IT transformation and follows previous front office and risk implementations on the same platform. The MX.3 platform will now support a comprehensive range of onshore and offshore financial products, offering capabilities from trade capture and pricing to position and treasury management, as well as compliance with local regulations. Mexican bank Banorte also migrated to the MX.3 platform last year.
