Turn better data into better treasury services
Banks already hold much of the data corporate treasury teams need. The opportunity is to make that data richer, more connected and easier to use. ISO 20022, APIs and AI can help banks improve cash visibility, reconciliation, forecasting and other treasury services while strengthening corporate relationships.

What banks are prioritising

Payments modernisation is still high on the agenda

At Sibos, more than 140 banking professionals took part in a live vote on six payment-related priorities. Payments modernisation ranked first, ahead of customer experience, suggesting banks see it as the foundation for broader progress.

Visitors voted over four days by assigning XL, L and M badges to the topics that mattered most to their banks. Payments modernisation received 23% of the total weighted score, followed by customer experience (20%), fraud prevention (16%), AI and data (14%), operational resilience (14%) and regulatory compliance (13%).

While customer experience is often seen as the ultimate goal, the results point to a different relationship. Banks increasingly view payments modernisation as the enabler of better customer experiences, stronger fraud prevention and greater operational resilience.

The challenge is no longer simply replacing legacy technology. Banks must modernise the infrastructure supporting essential payment services while maintaining reliability and security.

Although the results reflect the views of visitors to our booth rather than the wider banking industry, they provide a valuable snapshot of market priorities. The message is clear: payments modernisation remains high on the agenda because banks see it as an enabler of broader change.

The next question is how banks can modernise payments in ways that also improve customer experience, fraud prevention and resilience.
