Core modernization and digital transformation at a Tier 1 Australian bank

June 4, 2023

Challenge

A Tier 1 Bank in Australia had observed its retail market share erode to both traditional competitors and new financial service entrants. Formulating a response was impeded by dependence on a legacy core whose scarce resources were focused on risk remediation. Ultimately, they embraced a strategy to launch a new brand focused on customer journeys rather than products. In order to move forward to deliver business and customer outcomes, the bank needed a way to simplify and reduce the dependence on its core banking platform.

Zafin platform enabled:

  • A cross-product layer that serves product information across the stack of their new digital-only brand 
  • APIs that interoperate seamlessly with the bank’s orchestration layer. Customer journey-related solutions that personalize products and pricing based on the customer’s life stage
  • Full compliance with a regulatory framework by providing audit, transparency and robust product governance

Resulting in:

  • Simplified, high integrity, scalable and resilient platform
  • Improved customer experience via a digital-only solution
  • Increased transparency and control for bank employees and customers
