Global Core Banking Vendors & Landscape Report Q1 2026

137 Pages

The IBS Intelligence Global Core Banking Report 2026 provides an independent view of how the market is evolving, which modernization pathways are gaining traction, and how vendors are positioning in a changing competitive landscape. Designed for banks, suppliers, advisors, and investors, the report cuts through market noise to deliver clear insight into where the industry is headed and what matters most in core transformation.

Many institutions still rely on legacy cores built for an earlier era of banking. Those systems were designed for stability and record-keeping, not for modular deployment, ecosystem integration, rapid product innovation, or real-time processing. As expectations rise, the core increasingly determines whether a bank can adapt fast enough to compete.

At the same time, modernization remains one of the most complex decisions in banking technology. Transformation risk, migration difficulty, budget overruns, and weak execution continue to hold institutions back. This report helps decision-makers assess the market with greater clarity by examining strategic drivers, regional momentum, implementation pathways, and vendor positioning.
