The Leading Banking Technology Firms in 2024

Today, banks and financial institutions are undergoing major transformational changes. 

A recent survey by Deloitte reveals four key trends dominating banking evolution today, including: 

. Core revival: The modernisation of legacy enterprise systems, and partly migrating them to the cloud. 

. MLOps - industrialised AI: ML analytics are radically transforming data analytics with near real-time data processing. 

. Machine data revolution: Taking data out of its siloes thanks to cloud, AI and ML technologies to make it easily available across all banking divisions. 

. Zero Trust: Scaling cybersecurity capabilities to counter the threat of increasingly technologically enabled fraudsters. 

Here, we run through a few of the leading companies delivering fintech solutions to banks today – Finastra, IBM and Sopra Banking Software.
