Chainlink announced on September 22 that Infosys is standardizing the adoption of the Chainlink platform across its banking payments business. The strategic partnership covers a stack of six Chainlink services, spanning cross-chain interoperability, workflow orchestration, compliance, proof of reserves, and market data. Chainlink provides oracle infrastructure that connects blockchains to external data and offchain systems.

Infosys, the Indian IT services company listed on the New York Stock Exchange as INFY, supports systems that touch more than 1.7 billion customer accounts.

Six Chainlink services in scope

Under the partnership, Infosys will standardize on Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which transfers data and assets across blockchains, and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), which orchestrates workflows onchain and offchain across networks, APIs, and external computation.

The agreement also covers the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), which oversees compliance controls, and Proof of Reserve, which performs automated checks on the reserves backing stablecoins and tokenized assets. Rounding out the stack are Data Feeds and Data Streams, which bring market and other external data onchain. Taken together, the six services cover each step of an onchain financial workflow — sourcing data, moving value across chains, orchestrating execution, and enforcing compliance and reserve checks — making this a platform-level standardization rather than a single-product integration.

Scope of the 1.7 billion figure

The announcement does not name any specific bank, payment network, or tokenized asset project. Neither company disclosed commercial terms, a production schedule, or which service will launch first. Those open points are what to watch as the partnership moves from announcement to deployment: named bank clients and a first production service will indicate how much of that 1.7-billion-account footprint the stack actually reaches.

The 1.7 billion figure refers to the reach of Infosys's financial-services business, not the user base of any application built with Chainlink. "Infosys supports critical banking and payments infrastructure for more than 1.7 billion customer accounts worldwide," Chainlink wrote on X.

Follows Bottomline tie-up

The deal follows Chainlink's partnership with Bottomline earlier in September, Cryptopolitan reported. Bottomline is a top-three provider of Swift services, moving more than $16 trillion a year for over 600 banks. That arrangement will allow those banks to settle cross-border transactions onchain while still sending standard Swift messages. Read together, the two September agreements place Chainlink's stack at two layers of traditional banking infrastructure: the technology providers that build and run banking systems, and the messaging rails banks use to move money across borders.

Chainlink's 2026 wins also include a $400 million tokenized fund with Amundi and Spiko, according to Cryptopolitan.
