NS&I to deploy SBS' cloud-native core system
This initiative is part of NS&I's Transformation Programme, which includes a contract with Atos, a digital transformation company.
In this context, SBS cited a report by Celent, which forecasts that European retail banks will increase their cloud investments by 57.5% by 2030, reaching a total of $12.6bn.
NS&I's internal infrastructure supports more than 24 million customers and manages changes to savings rates while addressing customer interactions.
The implementation of SBS's digital, cloud-native core banking platform is expected to enhance operational efficiencies, as well as improve product and service delivery for NS&I.
SBS CEO Eric Bierry said: 'NS&I's transformation program is evidence that it is possible for banks to execute this transformation—and doing so sets them up to drive otherwise unattainable efficiencies and experiences.'
In collaboration with Atos, IBM, and Sopra Steria, NS&I is working to digitise its retail banking operations.
The new SBP Digital Core platform from SBS will replace the existing core system, providing a cloud-native infrastructure for all retail banking and payment services.
The SBP Digital Core is a cloud-native, composable banking solution that utilises latest technology and data to enable banks to deliver personalised banking experiences while adhering to regulatory standards.
Transitioning to the SBP Digital Core will allow NS&I to leverage the flexibility and scalability of AWS's cloud environment, facilitating frequent adjustments to data storage and infrastructure as required.
Unlike traditional core systems, which are often difficult to update, SBS's cloud and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution provides regular automatic updates, according to the tech company.
NS&I chief operating officer Matt Smith said: 'NS&I's transformation programme will help to deliver the digital experiences that our customers expect, while still ensuring there is help and support for those who need it.'
The SBP Digital Core is part of a comprehensive suite of retail banking solutions offered by SBS.
These are utilised by more than 1,500 banks across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
"NS&I to deploy SBS' cloud-native core system" was originally created and published by Retail Banker International, a GlobalData owned brand.

The purchases, in two separate transactions coordinated by NATO, are expected to be the first of many funded by European governments and Canada following an agreement in principle earlier this summer.

Shipping giant, Maersk ends direct US trade route to Africa's largest economy
South Africa, the continent's largest economy, is facing renewed trade headwinds as Danish shipping giant Maersk announced it will discontinue direct cargo shipments between South Africa and the United States from October 1. South Africa, the continent's largest economy, faces challenges due to Maersk discontinuing direct cargo shipments to the US from October 1. South African exports will be rerouted via European hubs, increasing transportation costs and lead times. Longer shipping times, higher fees, and operational surcharges will further impact South Africa's export competitiveness globally. The decision, communicated to customers this week, according to News24, means South African exports will now be rerouted through European transshipment hubs, resulting in longer lead times and higher logistics costs for businesses already under pressure. While Maersk has attributed the move to operational restructuring and global supply chain realignments, the timing has heightened concerns within South Africa's export sector over worsening trade relations with Washington. The shift comes amid escalating diplomatic tensions between Pretoria and President Donald Trump's administration, which recently threatened to review South Africa's eligibility under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a crucial trade pact that grants duty-free access to US markets for thousands of African products. South Africa's exporters brace for impact The recent decision by global shipping giant Maersk to discontinue direct shipments between South Africa and the United States is set to deliver a substantial blow to South African exporters, both in terms of logistics timelines and operational costs. As Africa's largest economy grapples with mounting trade tensions with the Trump administration, the move will exacerbate existing pressures on businesses that rely on efficient transatlantic shipping routes to access the US market. Speaking to IOL South Africa, Dr Ernst van Biljon, Head Lecturer at IMM Graduate School, said losing one of only two direct shipping links to the US forces South African exporters to rely on Europe's congested ports, adding 'time, cost, and uncertainty.' ' But this is more than just a shipping reshuffle, ' Dr van Biljon added. ' It exposes South Africa's strategic vulnerability in global supply chains. Tariffs and transport constraints now combine to erode margins and undermine long-standing commercial relationships. ' One of the most immediate consequences for South African exporters will be longer shipping times. Direct routes to the US, which previously took four to six weeks, will now be replaced with detours through Europe's transshipment hubs, adding two to three weeks and stretching total transit times to six to eight weeks or more during port congestion. The financial impact is equally severe. Rerouting through Europe increases fuel, handling, and operational costs, with freight rates expected to rise by 20 to 40 percent. Transshipment fees of $200–$250 per container, plus Maersk's peak season surcharges of up to $1,000 for a 40-foot container, will further inflate expenses.
