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.
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.
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.
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.

F5 can help optimize application speed and reliability via network & application layers. Use real-time protocol & traffic-management decisions & dramatically improve application response across hybrid multicloud platforms. Additionally, powerful cryptographic performance enables flexible, reliable application delivery.
Improve your overall site speed and reduce your page load time. With F5, you can combine load balancing, intelligent compression, traffic optimization, rate shaping, caching, and SSL acceleration into a single solution–and deploy it on-prem or in the cloud.
F5 BIG-IP provides a secure, high-performance front door for AI model training, fine-tuning, and RAG data ingestion. With intelligently managed and protected dataset movement, enterprises can ensure resilient availability across storage endpoints, maintain loose coupling for vendor flexibility, and optimize real-time traffic. Seamlessly deliver massive datasets while preventing data bottlenecks, mitigating security risks, and ensuring uninterrupted, efficient AI workflows.
The F5 Distributed Cloud Platform offers networking and security solutions for public and private cloud. Relieve Platform Ops and DevOps teams from managing intricate network design, connectivity, and cloud platform overhead. Provide end-to-end observability and maintain centralized security and application service policies and configurations.
Bandwidth, bottlenecks, and traffic blocking issues are not always easy to see before they become bigger problems. With F5 solutions, you can visualize and analyze your traffic as it’s happening. Troubleshoot efficiently and make changes faster with F5.
When the unexpected occurs, your applications need to remain fast and available. Get the tools you need to deploy and maintain resilient application security and infrastructure solutions—in the multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises.
