In this episode of The Scalepoint Podcast, Martin sits down with Martin della Chiesa, CEO of Skaleet - a next-generation core banking platform that’s reshaping how financial institutions approach digital transformation. In a market often paralysed by too much choice and too little clarity, Martin stresses the importance of guidance and execution. Banks aren’t making routine procurement decisions - they’re taking on high-stakes, long-cycle investments that define their future architecture and customer experience. As he puts it, “Banks don’t buy core banking systems every morning. This isn’t a baguette - it’s a once-in-a-generation decision. Our job is to show the ‘how’ and de-risk the journey.” Despite spending billions annually, the industry remains mired in frustration. “Sixty to seventy billion dollars are spent on core banking every year - and still, everybody’s complaining,” he notes. The issue isn’t just outdated technology, but entrenched complexity, rigidity, and risk. Skaleet offers an alternative to the monolithic legacy stack: a modular, API-native platform built for speed, control, and real-world results.
