While global financial institutions are rapidly shifting to SaaS-driven models, many APAC banks remain weighed down by legacy infrastructure, regulatory complexities, and scalability challenges. Bottomline’s Competitive Banking Survey 2024 reveals that 26.8% of APAC banks still view legacy systems as a major roadblock, limiting their ability to compete, innovate, and collaborate.
With the region’s financial ecosystem evolving, the question is: Are APAC banks moving fast enough?
Key discussion points:
- Why legacy system upgrades alone won’t future-proof APAC banks - and what a true SaaS-driven ecosystem looks like.
- Bridging the scalability gap - How global institutions leverage SaaS for flexibility and cost efficiency, and what APAC banks can learn.
- New monetisation strategies - How FIs can use SaaS models to create revenue streams beyond traditional banking services.
- The untapped power of embedded finance - What banks are missing when it comes to leveraging APIs and partnerships.
- Beyond compliance - Using SaaS to turn regulation into a strategic advantage rather than just a requirement.
SaaS is more than just a technology shift—it’s a game changer. By embracing an open, API-driven ecosystem, APAC banks can transition from legacy constraints to collaborative opportunities. But how do they balance competition vs. partnership? Should they build, buy, or collaborate to stay ahead?
