Mphasis, a global technology company specializing in cloud and AI-driven solutions, has launched its first Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Financial Services in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The center has already onboarded 50 professionals and plans to grow the team to nearly 200 by year-end, with further expansion expected in the coming years.

The new hub strengthens Mphasis’ focus on building advanced AI applications tailored to the financial services sector across Latin America. With Argentina’s strong foundation in banking and fintech, and Mphasis’ expertise in AI and cloud-based technologies, the center aims to support the evolving digital needs of both local and global financial institutions.

As part of its Mphasis.ai business, the CoE will serve as a platform for rolling out scalable, AI-enabled financial solutions. Argentina will also serve as the base for the company’s Latin American operations, supporting a wide range of technology deployments and innovation initiatives. The Buenos Aires facility is expected to play a key role in delivering services to Mphasis’ North American clients, particularly in retail banking and insurance, where the company already works with the majority of leading players.

“Establishing our footprint in Argentina is a long-term strategic move to better serve both the local and international financial services market,” said Nitin Rakesh, CEO and MD of Mphasis. “We see a significant opportunity to partner with local talent and institutions to create value through digital transformation.”

Eric Winston, EVP and Chief Compliance, Risk & Ethics Officer, added, “Argentina has a rich history in financial services. This new center builds on that strength, combining local insights with our technological capabilities to support global clients with high-impact digital solutions.”

Argentina’s tech sector continues to expand, backed by supportive policies like the Knowledge Economy Law and a growing talent base. With over 150,000 registered IT jobs and USD 2.5 billion in annual exports, the country is emerging as a key digital hub in the region. The financial services domain, in particular, has seen rapid innovation, especially in digital banking, payment systems, and risk management.

Through its Centre of Excellence, Mphasis aims to drive Savings-Led Transformation™, helping financial institutions modernize legacy infrastructure, improve customer engagement, and implement AI-powered cloud solutions. The center will focus on delivering next-generation services for banking, payments, and financial technology across South America.

To support this growth, Mphasis has opened hiring for a wide range of digital roles, including front-end and mobile development, cloud engineering, AI/ML, cybersecurity, data science, and UI/UX design. Recruitment will prioritize professionals with experience in cloud computing, automation, and financial technologies.

Mphasis delivers agile, cloud-first solutions for global enterprises, using a unique Front2Back™ framework to transform customer experiences. The company blends next-generation architecture, engineering, and domain knowledge to help organizations modernize core systems, embrace AI, and accelerate business outcomes. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and purpose-driven growth, Mphasis partners with leading enterprises worldwide to shape future-ready technology ecosystems.
