Businesses can't afford to waste time and money on technology that doesn't deliver.”

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, December 23, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to McKinsey & Company, large IT projects average 45% over budget and 7% over time while delivering 56% less value than predicted. These failures have cost Australia's financial sector hundreds of millions annually, stalling growth for established institutions and emerging fintech.

Recognising the urgency of modernising without the risks of costly overhauls, Kobble, a modern Embedded Finance Platform, has launched to empower financial businesses to innovate quickly, efficiently, and confidently. Kobble's seamless, integration-first approach enables retailers, financial institutions, and fintech companies to build and expand product portfolios without the extensive disruptions and expenses of traditional technology overhauls.

While large financial institutions need help with legacy systems, smaller fintech and startups face resource limitations and technical complexities. Ambitious projects often falter across the industry, wasting significant time and investment and leaving businesses unable to meet growing customer demands.

"We've seen firsthand how innovation efforts can derail due to complexity, cost blowouts, or disruptions to existing operations," said Shane Chanel, CEO of Kobble. "At Kobble, we've taken a different approach. Instead of replacing infrastructure, we've built our platform to complement and integrate with what businesses already have. This enables our customers to launch new products or add embedded financial services without expensive overhauls."

Why the Financial Sector Can't Afford to Wait
