Let’s be blunt: legacy systems are innovation killers. A McKinsey report found that 70% of digital banking initiatives fail to scale due to infrastructure bottlenecks. In MENA, GCC, and Africa, where many banks still rely on outdated cores, this challenge is even more acute. 

In Egypt, for example, new fintech regulations are driving digital expansion—but many banks can’t seize the opportunity because of systems that aren’t ready for real-time APIs or third-party integrations. In the Gulf, open banking mandates are further straining outdated infrastructures. 

💡 Integration complexity = high risk. PwC MENA found: 

  • 67% of regional banks face security risks when trying to connect cloud platforms with old on-prem systems. 
  • 52% of African financial institutions experience increased compliance incidents during tech migrations.
