Chennai: Intellect Design Arena Ltd., a global leader in AI-First, enterprise-grade financial technology, announced that Gartner, a global research and advisory firm, has recognized Intellect as a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Banking Payment Hub Platforms, 2026 on Wednesday for its eMACH.ai Payments platform.
eMACH.ai Payments is a next-generation, end-to-end payments platform designed to support the full lifecycle of payments, from initiation and pre-processing to orchestration, execution, settlement, reconciliation, and exception management. Built on a composable architecture comprising packaged business capabilities, microservices, APIs, and events, the platform enables banks to process any payment type, any volume, and any customer segment on a single, unified payment hub.
This Magic Quadrant assesses global banking payment hub platforms based on market position and strategies aligned with crucial trends such as composable architecture, ISO 20022, real-time processing and AI.

Manish Maakan, Executive President & Group Chief Revenue Officer of Intellect Design Arena and Chief Executive
Officer-Intellect Wholesale Banking, said, “We believe this recognition reflects our approach to helping banks transform payments into a strategic, enterprise-wide capability rather than a collection of disconnected systems. With eMACH.ai Payments, our focus has been on building a unified, resilient, and composable platform that supports real-time processing, regulatory compliance, and operational control across domestic and cross-border payment ecosystems. As payment volumes, formats, and regulatory demands continue to evolve, banks require platforms that can scale with confidence while enabling progressive modernization.”
