Case Study: Leading Bank achieves modernized, mission-critical wholesale and retail platforms with Globant

Leading Bank Turns to Globant to Revamp Wholesale and Retail Technology Platforms

Leading Bank, a full-service financial institution handling wholesale and retail banking, mortgage, investments, cards and insurance, faced aging, inflexible technology platforms that supported mission‑critical apps and billions of dollars in transactions. Legacy wholesale and consumer systems were not mobile-friendly, were difficult to extend, and a key wire‑transfer application had stalled for years—so Leading Bank engaged Globant to modernize and consolidate its wholesale and retail technology platforms.

Globant rebuilt front ends, consolidated multiple systems into unified user views, and re‑engineered the stalled application with a new, componentized code design and a TDD approach that drove unit‑test coverage to nearly 100%. By adapting its agile teams to the bank’s waterfall processes and running three‑week delivery sprints, Globant put the project back on track in under six months, enabling faster, lower‑error feature releases and establishing a trusted, long‑term vendor partnership.
