LP Header_Digital Banking Report v1 04.17.2026

Digital banking has reached a new phase of maturity.

Over the past decade, financial institutions have rapidly expanded digital capabilities by adding platforms, integrating new technologies, and building increasingly sophisticated ecosystems.

But as these environments have grown, a new challenge has taken shape: complexity.

Leaders are now navigating environments defined by:

  •  Expanding ecosystems with overlapping platforms and integrations
  • Fragmented customer experiences across channels
  • Increasing operational complexity
  • Pressure to deliver seamless experiences while continuing to modernize

This edition of SRM Perspectives explores why financial institutions are shifting their focus from adding capabilities to simplifying how those capabilities come together.
