Cognizant Joins J.P. Morgan's Payments Consultant Implementation Program to Enhance Integration Services

Cognizant Collaborates with J.P. Morgan Payments Consultant Implementation Program

Cognizant, a prominent player in the field of artificial intelligence and technology services, recently announced its integration into the J.P. Morgan Payments Consultant Implementation Program (PCIP). This initiative aims to strengthen client capabilities by streamlining the integration of technology and treasury management. With a rich history of over 30 years in the payments sector and a workforce of more than 10,000 certified professionals, Cognizant is poised to provide substantial support within this trusted network of resources.

By joining the PCIP ecosystem, Cognizant promises to facilitate enhanced connectivity for clients, effectively reuniting J.P. Morgan Payments solutions with their existing Treasury Management Systems (TMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms. This collaborative effort leverages both Cognizant’s extensive payment experience and J.P. Morgan's expertise, ensuring that customers receive optimal implementation support in modernizing their operations.

One of the notable benefits for customers is Cognizant's profound understanding of the ISO 20022 messaging standards and the evolving requirements associated with cross-border payments. With the upcoming implementation of the CBPR+ initiative in November 2026, Cognizant has positioned itself to be a valuable ally for clients, helping them navigate compliance complexities and transition smoothly into the new regulatory landscape. '''

Furthermore, Cognizant has worked alongside J.P. Morgan Payments to develop a series of ready-to-deploy payment adapters. Designed for user-friendliness and full compliance with CBPR+, these tools enable clients to align their current payment infrastructures with the latest messaging standards, assuring efficient and compliant operations.

Lisa Davis, Head of Digital Design Commercialization at J.P. Morgan Payments, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, "As J.P. Morgan Payments continues to grow the PCIP program, we are enabling our clients to access a network of skilled technology and operational resources, allowing them to implement our solutions with confidence. Cognizant's depth in payment systems and large-scale enterprise deployment is a powerful addition to our implementation program."

Nageswar Cherukupalli, Senior Vice President at Cognizant, reiterated the need for corporate clients to experience integrated and intelligent payment solutions. He remarked, "Clients no longer want to piece together their payment systems; they desire a complete, intelligent integration that connects seamlessly with their entire business architecture. With Cognizant's 30 years of experience in payments, J.P. Morgan Payments clients can achieve productive outcomes more swiftly and effectively tailored to their operational needs."

The Payments Consultant Implementation Program is part of J.P. Morgan Payments' broader Partner Network, which strives to create end-to-end payment experiences via a network of third-party integrations.
