The competitive landscape in card programs is fierce, but for many executives, the real battleground is their own aging tech. Datos Insights' new report highlights six market risks that reveal the limitations of legacy systems. 📌Some risks are market-led, impacting revenue and forcing card programs to follow digital innovators: 1. Customers are preferring digital-first experiences, affecting growth 2. Real-time data is driving blazing fast transaction experiences, affecting revenue as customers prefer to use non-bank offerings for payments 3. AI-adoption is widening the competitive gap with experiences that cannot be delivered on legacy platforms 📌Others are internal pressures, pushing execs to seek more agile, cost-efficient solutions: 1. COBOL programmers are retiring leaving issuers with a talent gap and unable to develop new products fast and cost-effectively 2. Branches no longer growth-drivers while competitors are driving rapid and cost effective growth on digital channels 3. Frequent system updates for regulatory changes require teams to be pulled away from new development projects for several months Which of these risks is shaping the tech choices for your card program?

An Application Programming Interface (API) serves as a bridge (or channel) to allow different software applications to communicate. APIs play a critical role in the modern financial ecosystem. They support various services, from payment processing to account management, and enhance the overall customer experience. Our technology platform includes an API to enable clients to share data and services with us securely and efficiently. It enables direct payments from bank accounts for quicker transactions and allows us to aggregate information from multiple accounts in one place, offering a consolidated view of a customer’s financial situation. Our client API is designed with robust security measures to protect sensitive financial data, improving the safety of online transactions.

Indeed.. Identification, Environment, Data and Procedure Divisions are the four pillars on what these systems thrive on. I hope I got the order correct after 2 decades :)

This is hilariously accurate 👏😂 COBOL is the silent hero holding up your next $75 Venmo or Cash App transfer. Developed by IBM in the 1950s, it's older than your parents' record collection, written in an era when punch cards were cutting-edge tech, and its syntax makes Shakespeare look like Dr. Seuss. But here's the twist: this relic, this technological fossil, is powering the entire global finance system. The very banks you trust with your rent money, your latte habit, and even that questionable late-night pizza purchase. Cobol is the OG of FinTech that will outlive us all.

Have you heard the term “sticky tape tech solutions” before? It’s a term we like to use for something that we’re seeing increasingly frequently. How do you embrace innovation when your environment is filled with workflows, systems, and processes with old (and often out-of-support) software holding together legacy systems? Did you know that there are still critical systems out there in finance that still use COBOL, a 60-year-old programming language that no vendor supports and no new programmer learns? Those systems are certainly not ready to have digitalisation and AI applications dropped on them. So how do you untangle that? The appetite for innovation and the transformation of businesses to digital-first operations is priority given opportunities in efficiency, scalability, personalisation and enablement of complete business integration and emerging technology adoption. But for companies with legacy hardware, unravelling the sticky tape without having the entire system collapse is a major challenge, and it only becomes more difficult the longer the sticky tape is there.

For context, you remember the craziness when we went from 1999 to 2000? Much of that was from the old COBOL code that use 2 digits for years. Well, much of the banking infrastructure is coded in COBOL. Did we fix it in the late 90s? Nope. #creditunions #creditunion #banking #cobol #tech

My dad was a #COBOL programmer for his entire 32-year career. He worked for 12 different employers during that time, half of which laid him off. Some of those are probably regretting that decision by now. I did 25 years of my career in #Fortran, so this apple did not fall far from that tree. The older languages are the more reliable languages. But there are 2 problems. First few of us old sages alive can read legacy code anymore. And second: most of the old code was written long before software engineering was invented. Properly aged code pairs well with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. I'd still put my Modern Fortran code up against anything kids can do now with the newer languages. Modern Fortran is a 1:1 match for modern C++, it's just a more formal accent. And level 2 optimized Fortran code is still the fastest runtime code on the planet--and beyond. Do you need some complex physics simulated in real time? Call me. Because where I'm from code ain't real until its verified in the lab against physics in real time. All this "web" stuff is just a shared fantasy that's "right" when it paints the customer's visions well enough.

🏦 According to an Accenture report, the banking sector is better poised than any other industry to reap the benefits of automation — including #generativeAI. 🗞 In his latest CIO Dive article, reporter Matt Ashare sat down with Michael Abbott, Sr. Managing Director and Global Banking Lead at Accenture, to discuss genAI’s role in cracking the legacy #COBOL code at the core of these banking systems. 👩💻 "With IT talent in short supply, the pool of #mainframe experts and COBOL programmers has dried up," Abbott said. "Banks, a repository for some of the largest stores of legacy code stand to gain the most from coding assistance, second only to insurance companies, in Accenture’s estimation." 🔗 Check out the full article to see how the industry is leveraging AI to retool aging applications here: https://lnkd.in/dQ9cfGSG. 📈 See how a #financialservices giant accelerated their mainframe modernization by 50 percent using AveriSource Transform's AI-powered code generation here: https://lnkd.in/ea9sg7eu.

As part of my journey in the CodeAlpha project, I'm excited to share my recent work on developing a simple yet functional Banking System using C++. This project focuses on simulating basic banking operations and serves as a fundamental step in understanding the integration of object-oriented programming concepts in real-world applications. Project Overview: The Banking System project is designed to manage and perform basic operations on bank accounts, providing users with an intuitive and interactive experience. The key functionalities include: Account Creation: Users can create new bank accounts by providing an account number, account holder's name, and an initial deposit amount. Account Details Display: Users can view the details of any account, including the account number, account holder's name, and current balance. Money Deposit: Users can deposit a specified amount of money into their accounts. Money Withdrawal: Users can withdraw a specified amount of money from their accounts, ensuring that the withdrawal amount does not exceed the current balance. Technical Details: Account Class: This class encapsulates the attributes and methods required for handling individual bank accounts. It includes functions for creating an account, displaying account details, depositing money, and withdrawing money. Banking System Class: This class manages a collection of accounts and provides a user-friendly interface to interact with the system. It includes functionalities to create accounts, find accounts by their number, and handle user input through a menu-driven interface. Main Program: The main function initializes the banking system and invokes the menu to interact with users, allowing them to perform various banking operations.
