Three-Quarters of Banks Face Digital Banking Infrastructure Issues, 6 AUGUST

 Three-Quarters of Banks Face Digital Banking Infrastructure Issues

The banking industry is experiencing a seismic shift as agile, digital-native FinTechs capture an ever-growing share of the market. 

Burdened by outdated technology, traditional financial institutions face mounting challenges in delivering modern digital services. 

The growing dominance of FinTechs — securing nearly half of all new account openings — highlights the urgency for banks to modernize their infrastructure.

With consumer expectations rapidly evolving toward seamless digital experiences, banks must navigate the high costs and complexities of updating their core systems. 

Exploring incremental modernization through application programming interfaces (APIs) may offer a viable path forward, enabling banks to enhance their digital capabilities and remain relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape.

A recent PYMNTS Intelligence Report, “Core Strength: FIs Must Modernize to Meet the FinTech Challenge,” in collaboration with Galileo, highlights the urgent need for traditional financial institutions to overhaul their outdated systems to keep pace with digital-native competitors. 

The report reveals that 75% of banks struggle with implementing new digital solutions due to their legacy infrastructure, underscoring the critical nature of modernization efforts. 

As FinTechs continue to capture a growing market share, banks face mounting pressure to adopt agile technologies and innovative approaches.
