On February 10, 2026, Old National Bancorp announced it had finalized a partnership with Axletree Solutions to host its updated SWIFT architecture on Axletree’s Symmetree platform. The platform provides a centralized integration layer that unifies the bank’s legacy systems with global messaging networks, enabling real‑time visibility and control over international payment workflows.
The new architecture incorporates ISO 20022 compliance, the mandatory global payments standard, and introduces automated message validation that flags and corrects non‑compliant transactions before they are transmitted. This reduces errors, speeds processing, and ensures the bank meets regulatory deadlines for the decommissioning of older SWIFT MT messages.
Management said the upgrade will lower friction for corporate clients, accelerate onboarding, and increase transaction volumes while improving operational efficiency through greater automation and error reduction. The partnership also supports the bank’s broader technology strategy, which includes data infrastructure and AI initiatives aimed at enhancing client experience and operational efficiency.
By securing a scalable, secure foundation for its treasury and merchant services, Old National positions itself to capture growth in cross‑border payments and strengthen its competitive stance in the regional banking market. The move aligns with the bank’s recent strong Q4 2025 and full‑year 2025 results, underscoring a focus on technology‑driven growth.
The partnership represents a significant step in modernizing the bank’s core financial infrastructure, enabling it to serve corporate clients with more efficient, transparent, and secure cross‑border transaction capabilities. This capability is expected to attract larger corporate clients, increase transaction volumes, and provide a competitive edge in the regional banking landscape.
