Banking

The core banking system changes slowly, and rightly so. Modernisation comes through interface and integration layers that expose it cleanly, not through rewriting it.

Stakes

What weighs on the trade

  • Digital channels that customers now expect
  • Branch workload from routine transactions
  • Regulatory and retention constraints
  • Coexistence with legacy systems

Critical operations

What must not stop

  • Account opening and know-your-customer checks
  • Everyday transactions and transfers
  • Processing of credit applications
  • Complaint handling
  • Regulatory reporting

Why digitalise

What technology changes here

Every routine transaction moved from the counter to a self-service channel gives advisers time back for higher-value work. That requires the channel to be reliable and the customer to trust it.

What can be automated

  • Assembly and completeness checking of account-opening files
  • Pre-assessment of credit applications against defined rules
  • Production and sending of statements and certificates
  • Routing and tracking of complaints
  • Alerts on unusual transactions

  • Exhaustive logging and regulatory retention
  • An independent security review before anything goes live

Our approach

A typical path in this sector

  1. Mapping the information system

    Identifying the core system's existing interfaces and what can safely be exposed.

  2. Integration layer

    A dedicated, documented and versioned API isolating the channels from the core system.

  3. Pilot channel

    One high-volume customer journey, put into service with limits raised gradually.

  4. Audit and scale-up

    A security review, then extension to the other journeys.
