Legacy card technology poses significant risks to financial institutions in terms of cost, efficiency, revenue, and competitiveness.
Push factors include the retiring COBOL programmers, declining relevance of traditional branches, and challenges in adapting to regulatory changes.
Pull factors include the demand for seamless digital experiences, the need for real-time data access, and the prerequisite of artificial intelligence (AI) for success.
Modernizing card programs is crucial for real-time data access, digital issuance, and future-proofing financial institutions.
