Do you suffer from insufficient staff skills? Are your payment operations mired in inefficiency and too much manual effort?
Are you tired of all these rejected presentments caused by pesky interchange fee code driven by rules that ever keep changing?
Time to move on
Quite so many good established banks are saddled IT systems and applications that were built up within their organizations gradually over the decades, sometimes in a piecemeal fashion. For example, some transaction processing technologies still in operation were originally implemented in the 1990s or in the early 2000s.
The speed and reliability of these platforms is an ongoing issue, some of them nearing end of life or costing financial institutions considerable amounts of money to support and maintain.
A key challenge is that upgrading technology while maintaining business as usual is often difficult and risky, particularly for highly visible systems such as payment processing.
