So, banks need to move faster on their plans to digitize. Digitization has become a big problem for most people, and they often have to find workarounds that cause much data to be duplicated. For banks to go digital quickly and well, they need to update their core banking systems (CBS).

2. The banking industry is
getting more and
more competitive.
Neo-banks are taking
over the market and
serving customers for
about a third of what
traditional banks
charge.
Fintech companies are going after profitable spots in
the value chain. Big tech players are a real threat
because they have many customers, and a few invest a
lot in new ideas, which puts laggards in the shade.
What Is Retail Banking?

3. Today banks offer digital
and virtual banking
because customers
expect fast, on-demand
service, and employees
expect digital tools to be
everywhere. At the
same time, there is a
massive push for digital
solutions, like new
digital apps, that need
access to core banking
data and functions.
So, banks need to move faster on their plans to
digitize. Digitization has become a big problem for most
people, and they often have to find workarounds that
cause much data to be duplicated. For banks to go
digital quickly and well, they need to update their core
banking systems (CBS).

4. Why incumbent banks must update the core
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic started, banks
were pressured to cut their IT costs because of low-
interest rates. The pandemic worsened this problem as
banks rushed to develop new digital IT solutions faster
and for less money.
When these two trends come together, they have led
financial institutions to look for new and more creative
ways to update their old IT architecture. Even
functional areas that used to be untouchable, like risk,
finances, and compliance with regulations, are now
being thought about.

5. Big Bang or completely replacing the core with a new set
of technologies.
Banks usually do this when they need to replace their core platforms
quickly because they are outdated or because of regulations. It
requires a lot of data migration, and most of the benefits aren’t seen
until the last customer is moved and the old systems are shut down.
Progressive modernization.
Lower in risks, this is what most banks have done. It involves keeping
the old platform but making it smaller and smaller as they build a
new architecture around it. Many leading banks begin with the most
critical customer journeys and sequentially hollow out frequently
used functions and rebuild them as microservices.
Greenfield or a new way to do banking built on a new
set of technologies. Greenfield is often chosen by CXOs who
want to stay ahead of the curve because it lets them launch new
products and deliver value quickly. It is often thought to be less
expensive and safer than the other options because the existing
customer base isn’t put at risk until the idea and technology have
been proven.
Approaches to Modernizing the Core Banking
Systems

6. Time to market.
In today’s crowded market, being able to launch products quickly
is a way to outthink the competition. But monolithic architectures
(which lead to multiple dependencies and bottlenecks), poorly
documented legacy code (which makes it too easy to rely on a
small number of subject matter experts), and manual delivery
processes make it hard to get products to customers faster.
The cost is more important than ever with a low
return on equity.
But technical debt in legacy systems uses up a lot of IT money.
Clumsy legacy systems are linked to manual software delivery
(such as manual regression testing and deployment) and low
straight-through-processing rates (where layers of complexity
lead to fragmented and manual operational processes) – both of
which keep costs higher than they need to be.
Ecosystems. For making the products and services of the
future, partnerships are becoming more and more critical. But
current architectures don’t connect to third parties, which would
make it easier to come up with new ideas (e.g., property-related
services for mortgage buyers).

Banking Systems

7. Personalization.
Customers want a more personalized experience more and more.
But banks store data in multiple core systems designed for
different products, making it hard to meet each customer’s needs.
Setting up plans for the future.
Getting IT costs down.
Banks can cut costs by making developers more productive and
getting rid of technical debt. They can save even more time and
money by using cloud-based services (which let them quickly roll
out new products and grow their infrastructure) and development
tools that make automation possible (DevSecOps).
Getting to market faster.
With the help of hyper-parameterized configuration capabilities,
banks can quickly and easily make new products and services.
Higher levels of standardization make it easier to use modern tools
like automated testing and, as a result, to set up deployment cycles
that happen more often.

8. Conclusion
Modernizing the CBS makes it more flexible, which makes it easier
for business functions to get to essential data, change prices more
quickly, and come up with new ideas to meet current and future
customer needs.
Data and a customer-centric proposition.
Capabilities in Data and Analytics are fast becoming a critical
differentiator. Integration of data sets and a single truth source are
possible on modern platforms. These, in turn, make it possible to
offer personalized experiences and run advanced analytics in real-
time, which helps people make better decisions (e.g., for front-line
staff).
Being able to grow through partnerships and develop
new ideas.
Ecosystems and other services can be built faster and for less
money with the help of new platforms. Modular architectures and
APIs make it easier to put things together.
