a mid-sized regional bank operating across Southeast Asia cuts time-to-market by 45% with Zymr

A mid-sized regional bank operating across Southeast Asia faced challenges with its outdated COBOL-based core banking infrastructure, which lacked the flexibility for real-time processing and modern product development. This legacy system led to operational inefficiencies and an inability to meet growing customer demand for digital services. The bank partnered with Zymr to modernize its platform and accelerate innovation.

Zymr built a cloud-native core banking platform on AWS, utilizing a modular, microservices-based architecture and Kubernetes for deployment. The solution featured an event-driven framework for real-time processing and secure API-first integrations for mobile and fintech services. This modernization enabled the bank to reduce its time-to-market for new products by 45%, achieve 99.95% system uptime, and boost customer engagement by 60%. Operational costs for core banking activities were also reduced by 30%.
