Your core banking package evaluation and selection tool


Almost all of the top retail banks globally are still using legacy systems dating from the 1960s and 1970s in domestic markets; despite the growth of packaged banking solutions in international operations over the last three decades.

To sustain growth under recent banking pressures and continued regulatory requirements, leading banks are recognizing they need to have the right core banking systems in place.

While a large bulk of package sales are still within tier three and four banks, signs of larger, more strategic decisions are emerging with select tier 1 and 2 players. These players require sophisticated software to be able to process huge quantities of data and also want to gain a ‘single view of the customer’. These drivers are changing the rate of adoption:

  • the severity of regulatory requirements and penalties for non-compliance (i.e. SEPA);
  • appeal of a component approach (SOA and BPM);
  • a strong focus on the industrialization of banking, infrastrucutre and multi-channel enablement;
  • availability of global resources to tackle back-office systems;
  • the industrialization and move to transaction banking for core banking back office systems.
