Financial Services in New Zealand / Auckland-Wellington
Core banking modernizations in New Zealand / Auckland-Wellington that produced parallel-run environments incapable of reconciling live transactions are the most expensive category of failed vendor engagement. AU Privacy Act and APPs 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 Long-term contracts, outdated technology, closed systems, and prices that make modernization feel impossible.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.
