The financial services sector stands at the crossroads of rapid technological evolution and stringent regulatory demands. Banks, insurers, and wealth managers are under constant pressure to innovate, deliver seamless customer experiences, and maintain compliance—all while fending off competition from agile fintechs and big tech disruptors. In this environment, digital transformation is not just a strategic advantage; it’s a necessity for survival and growth.
Publicis Sapient has been at the forefront of this transformation for over 30 years, helping more than 100 financial services clients worldwide reimagine their businesses. Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the sector’s unique challenges and opportunities, and is powered by a robust network of partnerships with leading fintechs, cloud providers, and software vendors. These collaborations enable us to deliver tailored, future-ready solutions that accelerate innovation, ensure compliance, and elevate the customer experience.
No single technology or platform can address the full spectrum of needs in financial services. That’s why Publicis Sapient brings together a curated ecosystem of best-in-class partners, each offering specialized capabilities that, when integrated, create exponential value for our clients.
Legacy core banking systems are often a barrier to agility and innovation. Our partnerships with cloud-native core banking platforms like Mambu and Thought Machine empower banks and lenders to rapidly launch new products, scale operations, and reduce costs. Mambu, for example, supports over 6,000 loan and deposit products globally, enabling financial institutions to modernize their core without the burden of legacy infrastructure. Thought Machine’s technology allows banks to deploy modern, API-first systems, freeing them from the constraints of outdated platforms and unlocking new possibilities for digital banking.
The payments landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, with real-time processing, cloud-native infrastructure, and regulatory compliance at the forefront. Through our partnership with Form3, we help financial institutions and regulated fintechs move their critical payments infrastructure to the cloud, enabling secure, scalable, and compliant Payments-as-a-Service. Paymentology further enhances our offering by managing the full payment processing lifecycle across debit, credit, and prepaid cards, empowering banks to deliver a first-class customer experience in a rapidly changing market.
Data is the lifeblood of modern financial services, driving everything from personalized customer engagement to risk management and regulatory reporting. Our collaboration with Snowflake delivers the Data Cloud—a global network where organizations can mobilize data with near-unlimited scale and performance. Snowflake’s fintech practice has been instrumental in building bold new data strategies for financial services, enabling real-time insights and advanced analytics. Databricks complements this with its Data Intelligence Platform, leveraging open lakehouse architecture and AI models for unified data governance and actionable intelligence.
Cloud adoption is foundational to digital transformation, offering scalability, security, and the agility to innovate at speed. Publicis Sapient’s strategic alliances with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure allow us to deliver end-to-end cloud transformation—from infrastructure modernization to AI-driven business solutions. For instance, our work with AWS leverages advanced AI and machine learning to accelerate IT modernization and build personalized customer experiences at scale. With Google Cloud, we’re enabling application modernization, generative AI, and data analytics tailored to the needs of banks, insurers, and wealth managers. Microsoft Azure underpins projects like the world’s first fully digital trade finance bank, demonstrating our ability to deliver secure, compliant, and innovative solutions in record time.
In a world where customer expectations are constantly rising, delivering personalized, seamless experiences is critical. Our long-standing partnerships with Adobe and Salesforce enable us to implement industry-leading CRM and digital experience platforms. These solutions help financial institutions harness customer data, orchestrate omnichannel journeys, and drive engagement and loyalty—all while ensuring compliance with evolving data privacy regulations.
