The challenge
Moving away from rigid legacy systems
To remain competitive in the rapidly evolving German market, Akbank AG needed to move away from rigid legacy infrastructure that limited flexibility and scalability.
The bank required a modern core banking platform that could support faster product development, integrate easily with external systems, and adapt to evolving regulatory and business requirements.
Its primary objective was to adopt a cloud-native, API-first architecture that would reduce operational complexity, improve resilience, and accelerate time to market.
