Financial Services in Abu Dhabi
Core banking modernizations in Abu Dhabi that produced parallel-run environments incapable of reconciling live transactions are the most expensive category of failed vendor engagement. UAE PDPL and DIFC regulatory examination dates do not accommodate vendor timelines. The bank is captive to a failed architecture.
The Big Three core banking vendors — FIS, Fiserv, Jack Henry — are so universally disliked that banking trade associations are funding alternatives. Long-term contracts, outdated technology, closed systems, and prices that make modernization feel impossible. The industry is ready for engineering teams that build open, compliant alternatives.
