Beeks Financial Cloud Group Plc announced this Friday that is has secured two large contracts, one with a global financial markets technology provider and one with a cloud-based Payments solution provider.
The first contract for Beeks, which is a cloud computing and connectivity provider for the financial markets, is a $1 million annualized contract that was signed with the undisclosed technology provider.
The second contract was a £1.1 million contract over three years with the payments solutions provider. This contract marks the first win for Beeks in the Open Banking and Payments sector, the statement released today said.
For the first contract, Beeks will be the preferred cloud vendor for on-demand infrastructure provision globally. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) contract, which at the moment will last for one year, will begin in January of 2020, with the potential for further expansion thereafter.
