12 Quality Controls for Core Banking Transformations

Replacing a core banking platform is one of the most challenging and high-risk initiatives a bank can undertake. Without careful governance, these programs frequently suffer from cost blowouts, regulatory failures and reputational damage. 

However, these risks can also be mitigated with the proper controls.

In this whitepaper, our experts set out 12 critical risk controls to turn this high-stakes transformation from a “crossed-fingers aspiration” into a secure, evidence-based delivery.

Drawing on Planit’s experience across major banking transformations and insights from the Global Quality Index 2025/26, this paper identifies disciplined quality controls that can reduce uncertainty, protect financial integrity and preserve your institution’s record of truth.
