At the same time, traditional banking technology has fallen behind. Customers expect beautiful products that meet their financial needs, and are flocking to fintechs and digital brands to get what they need. To compound the problem, data needs have also changed, and banks need vendors who can help them understand a customer base that to this point has been elusive.”
