NextGen retail banking: A roadmap to successful modernisation

Learn why retail banks must transition to modern, composable, future-ready infrastructures today – and how they can devise journeys that are tailored as well as cost-effective. A significant portion of the retail banking landscape still relies on legacy systems, some of which can be costly and hamper innovation. According to a report from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), 58% of the UK’s financial services firms use legacy infrastructure for some operations, while 33% depend on it for most of their activities. In North America, the picture is similar, with around 40% of US banks still using the Common Business-Oriented Language (COBOL) – a coding language dating back to 1959. Some surveys indicate that up to 70% of bank IT budgets are spent on maintaining these legacy systems.   Today, with rapidly evolving consumer demands, technological advancements, stiff competition, and regulatory upheaval, outdated infrastructures are no longer tenable – and risk negatively impacting banks’ efficiency, agility, and customer experiences. So, how can retail banks modernise, while controlling costs and ensuring minimal impact on day-to-day business applications?   This Finextra impact study, produced in association with Oracle, analyses:  The key challenges of legacy banking systems  How to draw up a tailored roadmap for modernisation  How to quantify progress and measure success

Why DevSecOps is key to navigating innovation and compliance

Explore how DevSecOps enable organisations to navigate economic uncertainties while treating innovation and compliance as complementary forces rather than competing priorities. A balancing act is underway within the financial services industry. Driven by client demand and fintech competition, institutions are increasingly obliged to innovate, while at the same time, ensure every step forward is secure and compliant. Often, it feels as though these two goals sit on either side of a seesaw – when one goes up, the other must go down. Many such challenges are born from the software delivery process, where countless organisations are struggling to source the expertise and capabilities necessary to deliver secure and compliant applications, at speed.  Much of the conflict stems from fragmented DevSecOps (a software development practice that integrates security throughout the development lifecycle) strategies which are built upon outdated infrastructure. Indeed, many financial institutions (FIs) today operate with disjointed security and development workflows – sometimes patching together between five to 10 separate tools that were implemented incrementally over time. While this approach worked five years ago, better options exist today. A simplified stack is conducive to both innovation and compliance – without either being compromised.  This Finextra impact study, produced in association with GitLab, explores:  How the evolution to a unified software delivery platform can deliver on both innovation and compliance;  reduce the risk of security incidents;  supercharge operational efficiencies;  amplify business agility and scalability;  and even support talent acquisition.

AI strategies for scalable, secure and compliant banking

Delving into effective strategies and tools for secure and compliant AI integration in banking, emphasising the importance of open-source models, the role of generative AI, the advantages of synthetic data, and the influence of regulatory frameworks. Integrating AI in banking involves more than just adopting new technologies; it requires aligning these technologies with specific banking use cases to maximise benefits and mitigate risks related to data security and compliance. Open-source models facilitate this transformation by offering a collaborative platform for innovation and transparency, essential for building trust and ensuring the safe use of AI in banking.  The journey from proof of concept (POC) to production in AI and machine learning is often lengthy and complex. This extended timeline highlights the challenges organisations face in integrating AI into their operations. Embracing new tools and technologies and learning to utilise them effectively is crucial for overcoming these challenges and applying AI to day-to-day operations, leading to significant benefits in efficiency and innovation.  When looking at other markets, the United States has become a hub for tech giants, focusing on fostering innovation, while regions like Japan remain cautious, reflecting their unique regulatory landscapes and societal risk appetites. This diversity in regulatory approaches presents both opportunities and challenges for firms operating globally, necessitating a nuanced understanding of each market’s unique dynamics.  This webinar report summarises the discussion of a Finextra webinar, hosted with Red Hat, by a panel of industry experts. Discover:  How AI is enhancing innovation, efficiency, and security;  Synthetic data and regulatory impact;  What factors are holding organisations back from fully adoption AI-driven services;  Balancing innovation and regulation;  And more.
