Why Banks Can’t Afford to Ignore Low-Code/No-Code Platforms
The banking industry is facing a paradox. Customers demand faster, more personalized digital experiences, regulators demand tighter compliance, and fintech competitors push innovation at breakneck speed. Traditional technology approaches—rigid core systems, complex custom code, and multi-year IT projects—simply can’t keep up.
As McKinsey warns:
“Fintech and other digital-commerce innovators are steadily disintermediating banks from crucial aspects of customer relationships.”

Enter Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) platforms. These tools are changing the game by empowering banks to rapidly build and adapt solutions without heavy coding requirements. For banks, LCNC isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s becoming a competitive necessity.
The Challenges Banks Face with Legacy Systems
- Siloed Data – Core banking, CRM, loan servicing, and compliance systems rarely “talk” to each other.
- Slow Innovation – Traditional development cycles take months or even years.
- Compliance Complexity – Meeting Know Your Customer (KYC) and AML requirements often means relying on manual processes.
- Talent Shortages – Skilled developers are expensive and in high demand.
As Deloitte emphasizes:
“Digital workflows are not only about efficiency; they are critical to staying ahead of regulatory complexity and minimizing risk.”

How Low-Code/No-Code Solves These Problems
- Faster Time to Market: LCNC platforms dramatically cut development cycles. According to 451 Research:
“Low-code platforms can cut app development time by 50–90% compared with traditional methods.”
(IncWorx citing 451 Research)
- Seamless Integration – LCNC connects legacy systems with modern digital tools, creating a single source of truth.
- Agility in Compliance – Automated workflows simplify KYC and AML processes, reducing errors.
- Empowered Teams – Business users can design solutions directly, freeing IT for strategic projects.
And as Gartner forecasts:
“By 2026, developers outside formal IT departments will account for at least 80% of the user base for low-code development tools.”
