Why it matters

What I see behind almost every digital banking story is the same tension: the front end is modern and the core is still a system that has been running for twenty years and nobody dares touch. The distance between those two layers explains most of the projects that slip.

I separate what improves the customer's life from what improves the bank's margin. Sometimes they coincide, and those are the good projects. When they do not, it is worth saying so out loud in committee, because a project that only improves margin shows up in customer satisfaction sooner than people expect.

What usually goes wrong

Where it usually breaks is customer service. The product launches, the support team finds out the week before, and when somebody calls because the money did not arrive nobody knows what to tell them. Trust is lost there, not in the technical outage that caused it.

What to watch

  • How daily reconciliation is left, which is where the cases nobody modelled show up.
  • What the local regulator requires and by when, because the deadline is usually the real constraint.
  • How money is returned when something fails, and how fast the customer sees it.

How I read this entry

What I would ask for before approving something like this is the plan for when it fails: how the customer gets their money back, in what timeframe, who authorises it and what they are told meanwhile. In payments, the quality of the recovery matters more than the quality of the happy path.
