Core banking System

MuRong M5

The Next Generation Core Banking System Built with Digital DNA

The
Challenges

As flexible technology infrastructure built on cloud-native architecture and open platforms matures, and as technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are applied more deeply, core banking is accelerating toward higher levels of digitalization, openness, and contextualization. Through cross-industry collaboration, financial services integrate seamlessly into diverse scenarios including e-commerce, government services, transportation, and catering, continuously advancing the shift from traditional services to ecosystem-based and scenario-driven services. This enables financial services to overcome the constraints of time, location, and channels and to adopt an omnipresent “invisible banking” model that offers customers richer and more convenient finance-as-a-lifestyle experiences. These developments promote inclusive finance and intelligent capabilities and open new pathways for cross-industry collaboration and sustainable development.

Despite the industry’s embrace of digital, ecosystem-based, and intelligent transformation, many banks still face challenges posed by technical debt, such as outdated legacy architectures and insufficient openness, which create significant obstacles to digital transformation.
