Although banks, for a long time, have been the powerhouse of data streaming in from various authentic sources, the increasing usage of third-party database and social media has led to large amounts of unverified data. Thus, data veracity is now of paramount importance for banks to avoid vulnerabilities of all kinds.
Furthermore, fintech companies are becoming the new partners for banks, doubling in number over the past two years. By expanding their networks and becoming a part of diverse ecosystems along with shifting partners, banks are required to get rid of their outdated systems that can be an obstacle to growth and future-readiness. Consequently, the flexibility of systems has become mandatory for the frictionless businesses of banks.
