About the Summit

The Heart of Every Bank, Reimagined

The evolution of core banking platforms — considered the heart of every bank — has been significant over the last few years, driven by the changing landscape of FinTech collaboration, customer preferences, and major technology trends.

With 2,500+ core banking deals signed in the last five years and increasing adoption of cloud-based models, the IBS Intelligence NextGen Core Banking Summit explored the implications of Cloud-native architectures, SaaS platforms, customer-centric design, and Hollow-the-Core.
