This whitepaper discusses the challenges faced by traditional legacy banking systems and the rise of composable banking solutions. Composable banking allows for the fast and secure integration of independent systems, enabling banks to offer more services and better serve their customers. The benefits of composable banking include increased efficiency, flexibility, and the ability to quickly adapt to changing market conditions. The way forward for banks is to partner with companies like Temenos, which offers an open platform for composable banking services. This platform allows banks to easily integrate with third-party services and APIs, and provides a digital-first approach to financial services. The financial industry is undergoing major structural changes, including the shift to an open banking framework, which is giving non-traditional players and fintechs more opportunities to contribute.
