Headquartered in Denmark, Danske Bank^[3] provides banking services to personal and business customers, as well as large corporate and institutional customers.

As part of this collaboration, Infosys will also acquire Danske Bank's IT center in India, where over 1,400 professionals are employed. With its global expertise and industry-solutions, Infosys will accelerate the bank's digital agenda by significantly enhancing their IT operations and capabilities, powered by Infosys Topaz^[4], an AI-first set of services, solutions and platforms, experience design, and services that support operations.
