AshGrove has completed a structured capital investment in 10x Banking, a cloud-native core banking platform founded by former Barclays Group CEO.
10x Banking provides technology that enables financial institutions to modernize legacy infrastructure and build new propositions at pace. Its API-first platform aids leading banks in processing and recording transactions in real time.
