Case Study: Leading Bank of Panama achieves 50% faster time-to-market with OpenLegacy

Panama Branch of Leading Bank Speeds Time-To-Market by 50% and Reduces Cost

Leading Bank of Panama wanted to become more digital and FinTech-ready, but post-merger legacy systems, high operating costs, and complex mainframe workflows were slowing new product launches to six months or more. The bank needed a way to speed up delivery of services like digital payment processing while aligning legacy systems with its DevOps goals, and it turned to OpenLegacy for help.

OpenLegacy implemented its microservice-enabled API integration and management software, helping the bank expose core mainframe applications directly, reduce complexity, and support serverless deployment on AWS Lambda. The result was a new payment processing service delivered in just 90 days, about 50% faster than typical mainframe projects, with services running 20–30% faster and a stress test showing capacity for 60,000 concurrent requests.
