Today, global cloud banking leader Mambu unveils Mambu Payments, expanding its composable banking platform to include modern, end-to-end payment capabilities.

Following its acquisition of payments technology provider Numeral in December 2024, this marks a significant step forward in Mambu's mission. The launch of Mambu Payments means Mambu is poised to help financial institutions modernise core infrastructure and accelerate innovation across the entire banking stack, spanning lending, deposits, and payments.
Modernising payment infrastructure is a strategic priority for financial institutions facing regulatory pressure, the rise of instant payments and industry-wide shifts like ISO 20022, and increasing customer expectations for speed and reliability. Yet many are still constrained by fragmented legacy systems that hinder innovation and scalability. Mambu Payments addresses this challenge with advanced, composable capabilities that integrate seamlessly into any core banking ecosystem. Acting as a universal gateway, it connects institutions to a growing network of pre-integrated clearing systems, partner banks, and payment schemes, while enabling end-to-end automation through a modern payments hub.
Mambu Payments is quickly gaining traction - longstanding Mambu customers are building on years of successful collaboration on their core banking and expanding their partnership with Mambu to modernise their payments including Western Union, INDEXO Bank and BCB Group.
'Mambu Payments brings the same qualities that made Mambu's cloud banking platform the core of choice for forward-thinking financial institutions: cloud-native, API-first, and composable,' said Mark Geneste, Chief Revenue Officer at Mambu. "Mambu supports more than 260 financial institutions globally, helping them to modernise and migrate from legacy technology to future-proof solutions. Financial institutions can now choose to start with deposits, lending, or payments and easily expand across the platform as their needs evolve.'
'We wanted our customers to get the best of both worlds,' said Édouard Mandon, VP Payments at Mambu. 'Composability where it matters and an integrated solution with end-to-end workflows where it drives value and reduces friction. That's why we built the native integrations between our payments, lending, and deposit modules the way we did — to give customers the flexibility to choose their own path.'

How Starmer became Reeves's biggest enemy
Rachel Reeves has one eye on the bond market and the other on her own backbenchers. The Chancellor has been forced to spend the last few weeks focusing on rebellions over benefit cuts and spending plans that she must stick to if she wants to balance the books. Now, though, her authority is starting to be undermined much closer to home. The latest challenge is not coming from investors, the Red Wall or Reform UK. Instead, it is the man next door – her partner at the top of the Government – the Prime Minister. Two bold announcements from Sir Keir Starmer shed some light on the issue. Starmer's pledge to restore the winter fuel allowance to pensioners and his hint that the cap on benefits for families with more than two children will be removed were welcomed by the party faithful. However, they have left Reeves to count the cost, putting Britain on a path to higher taxes in the autumn. Restoring winter fuel payments to all pensioners and scrapping the two child benefit cap entirely would cost a combined £5bn a year if each policy was fully reversed, according to the Resolution Foundation think tank. That's a significant amount considering Reeves only has a £10bn buffer to meet a self-imposed goal of ending borrowing to fund day-to-day spending. But with less than a fortnight until she locks in Whitehall spending plans for the next three years, Starmer appears to have decided that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. For the Government, though, it will be seen as a sign of a breakdown in relations. This chaotic approach to policy-making is understood to have stemmed from growing tensions in Downing Street, particularly in the leader's office itself. Some blame Liz Lloyd, No10's director of policy, delivery and innovation. Lloyd, who also served as Sir Tony Blair's deputy chief of staff, is being singled out as the trigger of a wave of recent adviser departures, including one who was accused of 'mansplaining' the economy to Reeves. Lloyds is said to have clashed with Stuart Ingham, Starmer's longest-serving aide, who was appointed alongside career civil servant Olaf Henricson-Bell to run the No10 policy unit. 'They're all in each other's business,' says a source. 'Stuart threatened to resign if Liz was appointed. Yet they are both there and have a toxic relationship with each other. Olaf is fed up with both.' Several others in the unit are said to feel frozen out, although Labour Party HQ says it doesn't recognise the tensions and insists it is business as usual. However, few can deny that it is resulting in incoherent policymaking, including a flat-out denial of reports detailing changes to the winter fuel allowance that were subsequently vindicated just weeks later, and a Downing Street that doesn't look like it has anywhere near a majority of more than 170 seats. Another battle is under way over a cap on benefits that means that families can only claim child tax credit and universal credit for their first two children if they were born after April 2017. Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir's chief of staff, is said to be against the policy. Many of the Labour Left are making it their mission to reverse it. One Labour source summarises the party's dilemma. 'The two child cap is a political bind,' they say. 'On the one hand, how can the state subsidise poor people to have three kids when it's too costly for middle class couples to have one? On the other, how is it morally ethical for a Labour government to choose to keep kids in poverty?' At the same time, Starmer is facing the biggest rebellion of his premiership over £5bn in welfare cuts that will affect hundreds of thousands of people claiming disability benefits. Reports suggest another £500m climbdown is on the cards, in a move that could allow up to 200,000 people to keep their cash. However, it is understood that while options for further tweaks to the policy are on the table, changes are being kept on the back burner for now as Starmer and Reeves focus on other electoral carrots. Part of this will come from big spending in infrastructure in Red Wall seats to combat the threat of Reform. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) highlights that choices around health spending until 2030 will also determine how much other Whitehall departments receive. For example, if Reeves chooses to raise health spending by 3.4pc per year in real terms – or roughly the long-run average, departments outside defence face a 1pc real terms cut to their budgets. That's less funding for schools, policing and prisons. What's more, if Starmer wants to get defence spending to 3pc of GDP by 2030, it implies real terms cuts of 1.8pc. While it would not be anything like the austerity presided over by George Osborne as chancellor, for some departments where the low-hanging fruit was plucked a decade ago, it will feel like it. 'Sharp trade-offs are unavoidable,' the IFS warns in a report. Public sector pay continues to be a headache for the Chancellor. An announcement that public sector workers in England will receive a pay rise of between 3pc and 5pc this year – higher than the 2.8pc budgeted for by the Chancellor – will cost about £3bn. Reports suggest that as many as 50,000 civil service jobs could go as Reeves wields the axe as part of the Spending Review on June 11. But stopping the public sector workforce growing further above the current level of 6m will be a hard task. Keeping costs down while allowing those already on the payroll to be paid more is in theory a good idea. The IFS estimates that if public sector employment stayed constant between now and 2028–29, and the pay pot grew at 1.2pc each year in real terms in line with the overall spending envelope that has already been set out, pay awards could average 2.6pc per year in cash terms. However, Bee Boileau, an economist at the IFS, says this may not be realistic. 'Constraining the growth of the overall public sector will be tricky in the context of an NHS workforce plan that implies growth in the health service workforce of 3.1pc to 3.4pc per year, a manifesto promise to hire 6,500 more teachers, and a likely reluctance to reduce the number of police officers, prison officers or members of HM Forces,' she says. There is also a bigger problem: weak growth. JP Morgan believes Starmer's trio of trade deals with the US, EU and India will reduce borrowing by around £2.5bn. However, it thinks this will be more than offset by a tariff hit of £7.3bn and weaker growth delivering another £9bn blow to the public finances. This, together with a reversal on winter fuel, benefits for families and another fuel duty freeze is expected to turn a £9.9bn borrowing buffer into a black hole of around £15bn. Capital Economics says higher UK bond yields and expectations that interest rates will remain higher for longer also currently imply £4.4bn more will be devoted to servicing the Government's interest payments by 2030. It also warns that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is likely to say the Government's policy to cut migration 'by up to around 100,000 per year', will reduce growth 'and therefore raise the OBR's borrowing forecast by £6bn in 2030'. In short, there could be another £25bn of extra tax rises coming this autumn. With the threat of more tax raids around the corner, Starmer has voiced concerns about the fiscal watchdog itself. While its authority is not being questioned, the Prime Minister has asked why Reeves faces adjusting taxes and spending twice a year if she is deemed to have missed her borrowing rules when she only has one Budget. There is little appetite within Downing Street to change fiscal rules that have already been altered nine times in 16 years. 'Ripping up her so called 'iron-clad' and 'non-negotiable' rules only a year after introducing them could erode the Chancellor's political credibility,' says Ruth Gregory at Capital Economics. However, some in government are now thinking about whether one official economic forecast a year is more sensible. Such a move would require legislation. Either way, Reeves is likely to keep coming under pressure to spend more in the next few years. The bond vigilantes may be watching. But so is Starmer.
