Financial institutions’ technological frameworks continue to become ever more sophisticated. Leveraging graphical user interface and drag-and-drop capability, low-code/no-code platforms can dramatically increase the speed of creation for sophisticated enterprise-class applications. These applications can incorporate complex business logic, automate workflow, integrate with existing information systems and enable a smooth user experience.
Concurrently, adopting a data-led strategy can result in better accuracy, optimized operations, improved compliance, and a better customer experience. Customer satisfaction increases exponentially as banks are able to ask the correct questions, avoid repetition and focus on the right transactions at the right time. A data-
driven approach may enable banks to augment traditional risk factors with statistically derived attributes, create a more dynamic risk-assessment process by incorporating additional data points, and generate a scoring framework with a detailed web of risk factors.
As traditional FIs work to close the gaps in the digitization of processes, they are struggling to meet the demand for quick and secure transactions, data security, fraud detection and financial reporting. The solution may lie in outsourcing and offshoring a number of processes, including compliance, cyber security, data engineering, advanced analytics, level 1/2 anti-money laundering (AML) transaction monitoring, regulatory filings and customer due diligence.
Leading financial institutions are also implementing clearly defined Cloud strategies. Systems within numerous established banks can use traditional, outdated architecture and follow antiquarian approaches, preventing them from unlocking the full benefits of the Cloud. To effectively leverage it, banks may need to adopt digital labs, apply Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and other agile technologies.
