Challenge 1 Balancing Security and Compliance with Usability
Financial organizations must comply with regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)—while also ensuring seamless user experiences.
Impact:
- Strict security requirements can make online banking frustrating for users.
- Non-compliant platforms put customer data at risk, leading to financial and reputational damage.
A Smarter Solution: Umbraco CMS provides enterprise-grade security, role-based access controls, and compliance-ready tools to protect data without compromising usability.
Challenge 2 Creating a Seamless Customer Experience Across Channels
Customers expect consistent, mobile-friendly experiences whether they’re using a bank’s website, mobile app, or self-service portal. A disjointed digital presence leads to frustration and loss of trust.
Impact:
- Inconsistent branding and functionality across platforms weaken customer confidence.
- A lack of personalization makes it harder to engage customers and retain business.
A Smarter Solution: Umbraco enables unified branding, personalized digital interactions, and seamless omnichannel experiences across websites, mobile apps, and self-service platforms.
Challenge 3 Integrating Core Financial and Business Systems
Banks, credit unions, and lenders rely on core banking platforms, loan origination systems (LOS), customer relationship management (CRM) software, and payment gateways. A CMS must seamlessly integrate with these systems to provide a connected, real-time digital experience.
Impact:
- Siloed data leads to manual work, inefficiencies, and potential errors.
- Customers must log into multiple platforms to complete simple tasks, reducing engagement.
A Smarter Solution: Umbraco's API-driven architecture connects banking systems, CRMs, loan processing tools, and payment platforms, ensuring a seamless, connected experience for both customers and staff.
Challenge 4 Managing Content for Multiple Audiences
Financial institutions serve a diverse range of customers, including individual account holders, mortgage applicants, business clients, and investors. Managing frequent content updates—such as interest rate changes, regulatory updates, and financial insights—requires a flexible, efficient CMS.
Impact:
- Slow or outdated content updates create confusion and erode trust.
- Marketing and compliance teams often depend on IT to publish critical information.
A Smarter Solution: Umbraco allows marketing and compliance teams to manage content independently, with approval workflows and automation tools to ensure accuracy and regulatory compliance.
