Core Banking: Why 2026 Will See Progressive Modernization Soar

Will Moroney, Chief Revenue Officer, Temenos provides an overview of how 2026 could be a year of accelerated implementation for the modernization of core banking systems. He agrees that 2025 saw institutional experimentation across AI, partnerships and other modernization efforts and that, as banks – with technical debt and older core banking systems – progress to match their modern counterparts, 2026 will ramp up in speed. Moroney shares his opinion on the 3 key themes of modern banking: reliability, adaptability and customer centricity – with a belief that hyper-personalization in the digital age is mirroring the teller experiences of the 1980’s.
