Building for the future of banking

The next generation of customer-obsessed banking

Today’s customer financial ecosystem

Banking happens everywhere, regardless 
of the bank

The customer financial ecosystem has transformed. Banking now happens across dozens of platforms banks don’t control, creating a silent attrition crisis where customers hold only three of their six typical products with their primary bank.1 Banks are losing wallet share as platforms make it easier for customers to switch providers and manage money across multiple institutions. Customers now gravitate toward the personalized, streamlined experiences that legacy systems and product-centric infrastructure cannot deliver.

The visual conveys that customers engage in financial activity across diverse apps and services, not just within their primary bank. It illustrates how banking now happens everywhere, across institutions and platforms, and how this shift reduces banks’ share of the customer’s financial life.

iconCustomer-obsessed culture

Better outcomes, stronger relationships

Home buyer connected to icons and services, with “Offer accepted” above a house for sale, showing a customer-centric financial journey.

The central focus is a home buyer, pictured alongside a house marked “For sale.” Above the house, a message reads “Offer accepted.”

From this center, dotted lines radiate out to several icons representing financial services:
A house with a dollar sign (mortgage or financing)
A refresh symbol (process or ongoing service)
A house with a roofline (home ownership)
A shield (protection or insurance)
A connectivity symbol (partner services)

The arrangement illustrates how a customer’s journey, like buying a home, connects to multiple financial services and partners. The emphasis is on the customer’s goal — securing a home — rather than on isolated financial products. This supports the idea of a customer-obsessed culture, where banks shift from product-centric thinking to customer-centric outcomes.

The visual conveys the concept of a scalable, value-driven partner ecosystem, where banks and platforms integrate with a wide variety of partners. The surrounding “plus” icons emphasize expansion, growth, and extensibility of the network. This ties to the strategic message: integrating automated governance, centralized data, and orchestration reduces risk while accelerating partner-enabled growth.es.

Governance that scales with your bank

Comparison chart showing “Yesterday” with manual, high-risk banking operations versus “Tomorrow” with streamlined, governed, and centralized orchestration.

The image contrasts two columns labeled Yesterday and Tomorrow.

On the left, under Yesterday: High risk and limited orchestration, four stacked rectangles show:
Banking Channels
Product & Pricing in Legacy Cores
Manual Operations
Manual & Asynchronous Compliance

Arrows point to the right column, Tomorrow: Compliant trustworthy orchestration, where four diamond shapes represent:
Governed Orchestration
Composable Product & Pricing
Streamlined Operations

The visual emphasizes the shift from fragmented, manual, and risky processes toward a future of centralized governance, streamlined operations, and compliance embedded directly into orchestration. It illustrates how banks can reduce risk, integrate compliance logic into everyday processes, and scale with confidence.
