New report, in partnership with Google Cloud, highlights why banks must begin to provide services for tech-empowered customers to avoid being left behind by tech-savvy competitors.
Research shows that banks that successfully switch to a cloud core will be bigger, more profitable, and grow faster, leading to a value creation opportunity of $20 trillion, as highlighted in a new report from SaaS cloud banking platform Mambu.
The ‘Get in Front with a Cloud Core’ report reinforces the business case for fast-tracking core transformations. It reveals how banks can outpace their innovative fintech competitors and turn bank cores around by taking advantage of cloud-native financial solutions powered by Mambu and Google Cloud.
With more nimble fintechs on the scene, customers are not waiting for banks to catch up. This has led to 61% of established banks struggling to reduce churn. Mambu and Google Cloud revealed that the answer to this long-standing problem is for banks to expedite a cloud core. McKinsey predicts that banks that successfully manage this transition will be bigger, more profitable, and grow faster, leading to a value creation opportunity of $20 trillion.

“We are seeing more banks adjust their services to meet today’s digital-first consumers, yet only a handful possess a modern core.”
- Omar Paul, Senior Vice President, Product and Engineering, Mambu
Omar Paul, Senior Vice President, Product and Engineering at Mambu said: "Being forced to concentrate on front-end improvements because of legacy infrastructure's inflexibility adds complexity and inefficiencies to the back office. This hurts a bank's cost, performance, and sustainability. Using a cloud-native core reverses this, and Mambu and Google Cloud assisting financial institutions to transform themselves is why I am so excited about our partnership."

“In a digital world, customers expect everything on-demand. The cloud's open architecture empowers banks to move beyond the limitations of legacy systems, and with a cloud-based digital core they have the agility to meet customer expectations, build loyalty and stay ahead of the curve.”
- Toby Brown, Managing Director, Global Banking Solutions, Google Cloud
