Healthy core = happy retail bank customers
For retail banks, keeping their core banking systems healthy is essential to preventing the IT failures that can impact customers. Core banking systems enable everything from transactions, account balances, loans, and payments to mortgages.
Because they can impact so many customer touchpoints, IT issues have a direct effect on customer satisfaction. If there is a problem, anything from payments online to cash withdrawals at ATMs can fail.
For decades these systems have been deeply ingrained in financial institutions and are woven throughout most of a bank’s critical business processes, occurring both on-premises and in the cloud.
