Maximize network and application performance and profitability

FinServ orgs can’t afford to have poor performing apps. Research shows that 61% of consumers will switch companies because of customer experience issues. F5 can help.


Meet profitability goals by improving application and network performance

A finserv organization’s profitability is directly impacted by poor application and network performance. Keeping apps and networks resilient, while running fast and reliably is a minimum requirement for doing business in today’s competitive finserv sector, especially in the AI era. F5 can help. That’s why—by switching to F5—a major credit card provider consistently reduced response times from 500 to 10 milliseconds.

Why hybrid multicloud complexity slows digital banking momentum

Financial services must deliver instant, reliable experiences across mobile, web, and API channels while modernizing core systems and adopting cloud‑native architectures. At the same time, teams operate across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments to run globally distributed applications while meeting the most demanding user expectations. Fragmented tooling, inconsistent traffic policies, and varied network and compute behaviors turn that necessary distribution into operational complexity — slowing feature delivery, degrading account holder experience, and increasing costs and risk.


CHALLENGES

Distributed architecture complexity: multi‑region deployments, edge services, containers, and diverse cloud platforms create inconsistent routing, capacity, and policy enforcement that cause unpredictable latency and uneven user experiences.

Resiliency in the face of distributed architectures and AI demand for scale: fault tolerance, stateful transactions, third‑party model dependencies, and bursty AI inference introduce correlated failure modes that are harder to isolate. Graceful degradation, fast failover, and coordinated recovery are more difficult across distributed environments.

Fragmented observability and manual recovery: telemetry scattered across clouds slows detection, root‑cause analysis, and reporting—without unified insights and automated remediation, outages last longer and SLAs and compliance suffer.
