Launching cloud-native architecture amid neobank competition
ABOUT THE EVENT
In a world of unprecedented competition and accelerating AI developments, clients are pressuring traditional banks to respond with an evolved banking experience. Customers are demanding hyper-personalised products, real-time insights, and curated content, all presented in the right place at the right time. However, executives must navigate the challenge of establishing a balance between speed of delivery and the quality and stability of service.
Transformation leaders must pinpoint issues to solve, select the ideal technology stack, and define an implementation plan to deliver change seamlessly. While fintech partnerships are fuelling innovation and agility, banks are replacing legacy infrastructure as an imperative first step. Traditional institutions are launching digital offerings, beating competition, and executing change at pace by re-engineering core banking platforms, and replicating neobanks’ cloud-native architecture.
This webinar was the first of the three-part series ‘Executing banking transformations at pace’, designed for operational and technological executives embarking on digital transformations and seeking to disrupt the traditional banking world. Hosted by The Banker in partnership with PwC, our specialist panel provided actionable insights into modernising legacy systems, evaluating potential partners, and executing transformation at speed and scale.
