Coreless banking platform business, XYB has announced it will be joining forces with global tech firm, IBM, to help banks modernise their core systems and address growing requirements for modernisation initiatives.
To address the escalating need for modernising existing systems after years of postponing core modernisation with point solutions such as a digital banking platform, middleware and API integration layers, banks need to take decisive action. Working with IBM Consulting, XYB will provide its componentised core banking platform for financial services which will accelerate their digital transformations with security at the forefront.
The delay in addressing the central issue of core modernisation is primarily driven by a lack of a componentised banking platform. A platform with independently deployable components enables a progressive transformation approach through component-by-component modernisation. Banks could use these independently deployable components as accelerators in their in-house build strategy, providing them with greater control and reduced vendor dependency.
Combining forces
XYB’s componentised core banking platform is built on a cloud-agnostic foundation with independently deployable components. This architecture aims to allow banks to modernise their existing systems or launch new propositions with minimal risk and cost and is designed to help them achieve the shortest time to value.
XYB’s core banking platform is designed to mirror a bank’s existing tech stack and switch in and out during system downtimes, helping to enable uninterrupted service for customers. Regulatory deadlines, such as the FCA’s March 2025 operational resilience compliance date and the EU’s January 2025 DORA framework, underscore the need for such solutions.
IBM Cloud for Financial Services aims to help reduce risk throughout the supply chain by addressing resiliency, performance, and security for financial institutions. The IBM Cloud for Financial Services is also designed to help clients as they work to meet their regulatory compliance obligations.
IBM’s enterprise cloud platform is designed for regulated industries, enterprises across financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, government. Using the platform, firms can manage mission-critical workloads while prioritising resiliency, performance, security and regulatory compliance.
Leveraging the resiliency of IBM Cloud for Financial Services, the XYB platform is load-tested to exceed peak volumes that tier 1 banks with millions of customers and transactions experience.
Meeting the need of banks
