The Future of Banking is All About Modernization

Banks are poised to redefine the industry’s digital future. Their objectives are clear: achieve revenue growth, enhance profitability, and deliver unparalleled customer experiences. To accomplish these goals, they will need to chart a course driven by hyper-automation, deep personalization, connected systems, democratized data-sharing, sustainability, and open banking. Key to this digital transformation journey is core modernization, the adoption of contemporary technologies like AI, and a renewed commitment to customer-centricity.
While the goals are common, the digital transformation journey for each bank will be unique. They will need the proven experience of a modernization leader who can not only understand each organization’s distinct goals, challenges and digital banking readiness but also align the modernization process to the complex regulatory and compliance requirements of different regions.

4 Key Priorities for Modernization in Banking

Core Modernization

The modernization of core banking systems is the linchpin of the transformation strategy. The challenges posed by new-age digital banks demand a robust response that goes beyond incremental steps like placing superficial digital facades over outdated and aging systems. Today, the modernization of core banking systems is a strategic imperative to drive outstanding customer experience, unleash new revenue opportunities and stay competitive.

Revolutionizing Cash Management

Banks are facing intense challenges from innovative non-bank rivals, especially in cash management and payments. Integrating APIs with third-party ecosystems is vital to expand services and meet
complex regulatory requirements like KYC, anti-money laundering, and anti-terrorism financing. To address diverse customer payment and cash management needs, banks must facilitate easy fund consolidation and digital disbursements for suppliers, service providers, and employees. Compliance with regulations across jurisdictions is essential, including managing recurring payments and authorized refunds for all customers.

Embracing the Open Banking Movement

The Open Banking movement has reshaped the global financial landscape, fostering financial inclusion, innovation, and economic growth. By mandating banks to share customer data with authorized third-party providers through standardized APIs, it enables new entrants to offer innovative financial services. This shift is enabling banks to collaborate with fintechs and deliver a whole new level of personalization and convenience for customers.

Commitment to Sustainable Banking

The financial sector ecosystem involving partners, customers, regulators and investors is driving the global environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda. The mobilization of capital to promote green banking and sustainable finance is emerging as a top agenda for banks in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Reputation, revenue growth, and customer loyalty are directly influenced by the bank’s ESG agenda. In the race to fulfil their sustainability agenda, banks will need to consider multiple aspects. These include assessing the impact of loans and investments, meeting compliance and audit requirements through reporting, and investing in technology to monitor ESG commitments.
