Amazon and Murex Forge Strategic Partnership to Transform Financial Services

On September 29, 2025, Murex, a leading provider of cross-asset financial technology solutions, announced a groundbreaking multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN). This partnership represents a significant expansion of their long-standing relationship and aims to accelerate Murex's Managed Services Program, particularly through its cloud-based offerings.

The strategic agreement is the culmination of months of intensive collaboration between Murex and AWS, enabling the scaling of Murex’s MX.3 platform into a comprehensive suite of managed services powered by AWS. Financial institutions will now be able to access unparalleled functional coverage, benefiting from industry-leading security standards and operational excellence while navigating increasingly complex regulatory environments.

One of the key components of the collaboration is the enhancement of Murex’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, MXSaaS. The partnership also introduces an innovative cloud-native solution termed XVA as a Service. These offerings provide flexible, turnkey services on AWS, with XVA as a Service leveraging AWS's elastic computing capabilities to deliver scalable and sophisticated risk analytics.

Since signing the collaboration agreement in June, Murex has successfully onboarded four new customers to MXSaaS, underscoring the value of the partnership and solidifying MXSaaS as a robust service in the financial technology landscape.

By deploying its Managed Services on AWS, Murex is set to enhance agility, flexibility, and resiliency across its solution suite. This advancement optimizes client experiences through technical process automation, performance monitoring, and proactive incident management. Key benefits of this collaboration include:

Murex is committing significant resources to scale its MXSaaS operations as part of this strategic shift. The company aims to integrate state-of-the-art technologies into FinOps and DevOps practices while expanding its global team to better serve both existing and future clients.

Charlie Sanderson, Director of EMEA Technology Partners at AWS, emphasized the growing demand from financial institutions for cloud-based solutions that alleviate operational complexity while fostering innovation. “This collaboration combines AWS’s proven infrastructure with Murex's capital markets solutions to help customers increase agility and time-to-market, while maintaining the highest levels of security, compliance, and efficiency,” he stated.

Elias Eddé, CEO of Murex, noted the pressures financial institutions face from macroeconomic volatility, regulatory demands, and cybersecurity concerns. "Running mission-critical trading and risk management platforms requires significant infrastructure investment and specialized resources to continuously maintain operational resilience and performance," he explained. The partnership with AWS enables Murex to deliver these essential services effectively.

MXSaaS transitions Murex’s capital markets platform, MX.3, into the cloud, where the entire stack is managed by dedicated Murex experts. This solution is tailored for institutions looking to accelerate their time-to-market and reduce operational burdens, allowing them to focus on strategic growth.

XVA as a Service offers a cloud-native SaaS solution that provides comprehensive XVA Management capabilities. It enables precise trade-level exposure calculations, collateral projections, and effective management of trading costs across various asset classes. This solution is designed to streamline operations, reduce costs, and help institutions meet the evolving demands of the market and regulatory landscape.

The strategic collaboration between Murex and AWS signifies a pivotal shift in the financial services landscape, promising to deliver enhanced cloud-based solutions that meet the needs of a rapidly evolving market. As financial institutions continue to seek innovative ways to manage operational complexity, this partnership stands to play a crucial role in enabling them to achieve their strategic goals in a secure and efficient manner.
