Deliver strategic success with cloud-native retail banking

Cloud-native transformation can be challenging for many banks, due to complex migration approaches, concerns around security and fears of major disruption. Now, those banks are seeking new ways to realize the full potential and value of the public cloud.

Omnichannel engagement

 

Today’s customers demand frictionless banking experiences—anytime, anywhere. They often start a transaction on one channel and complete it on another. Omnichannel banking offers banks the opportunity to deepen customer engagement, deliver tailored products, and create seamless interactions through integrated data and customer insights. 

 

Digital platforms are central to these efforts, enabling banks to meet evolving customer expectations through personalized solutions that blend internal and partner capabilities. Thoughtworks specializes in creating omnichannel platforms that drive engagement and loyalty. We support platform modernization, app consolidation, ecosystem banking and connected banking for smooth interactivity at every step of the value chain.

Core banking modernization

 

Modernizing core banking systems is no longer optional—it’s essential. Many banks still rely on rigid and outdated legacy systems, often decades old, that struggle to support the demands of digital banking, real-time transactions, and fintech integration. 

 

Thoughtworks supports banks to transition to modern, cloud-native platforms that are scalable, composable, and future-ready. What sets us apart? Our experts help you to plan your migration based on your banks’ specific needs, ensuring maximum return on your cloud investment.
