BoA and Capital One could not be at opposite ends of the cloud computing spectrum. BoA built its own private cloud infrastructure while Capital One relies on AWS. as cloud service providers demonstrate excellence in data privacy & security, BoA’s stance is likely to change. regardless, big banks have the resources to upgrade their tech, they are doing so, even if slowly. midsize and smaller banks are at a disadvantage. #banking #banks #fintech #cloudcomputing #BoA …see more

It can be a challenge for an almost 170-year-old global payments firm to turn headlines in a space dominated by FinTechs and Big Techs eager to make waves on a global stage.
