It was not an assumption, it was my opinion.

I've never built a "disruptor" bank but if I were to do it, I wouldn't hire all my staff from a traditional bank. It's like expecting a 747 pilot to re-train as a fighter pilot. Sure, they know a lot about flying airplanes and they could probably do it, but it doesn't necessarily make them the best fit for the role.

What I can tell you from experience is that it's very difficult taking bank staff in their 30s, 40s and 50s, who have worked on mainframes at the bank since their early 20s, and teach them about virtualization, containerization, microservices, agile, dev-ops, etc.
That's ridiculous, you are talking utter **** now, over the past 15 years those same people have done EXACTLY that. Rather shut up, you have no idea what you are on about.

That's probably one of the single most ignorant things i've ever read on this forum.

The people from Nedbank went on to build SARS and then went on to build Discovery Bank

And SARS was doing automatically scalable "microservices" before the term microservice was even coined.
Barry Hore......f*cking legendary stuff he has done.

While Bank Zero’s value proposition is attractive to consumers, it is particularly suitable for small businesses looking to cut their banking costs.

I'd hate to try to do business banking on a app day in and day out
