Introducing Events and Stream Processing into Nationwide Building Society

Open Banking regulations compel the UK’s largest banks and building societies to enable their customers to share personal information with other regulated companies securely. At the same time, customers' demands are evolving, expecting seamless, real-time banking experiences. As a result, companies such as Nationwide Building Society are re-architecting their processes and infrastructure to achieve digital transformation. By leveraging an event-driven architecture and real-time data streams, they're able to meet modern customers' needs, stay ahead of technological innovation, while reducing the risks of losing relevance or their competitive edge.

In this online talk, you'll learn why Nationwide decided to take load off their back-end systems through real-time streaming data changes into Apache Kafka® to meet Open Banking regulations and rapidly increasing transaction volumes. You'll hear how Nationwide started their journey with Apache Kafka®, beginning with the initial use case of creating a real-time data cache using Change Data Capture, Confluent Platform, and Microservices.

Rob Jackson, Head of Application Architecture, will also cover how Confluent enabled Nationwide to build the stream processing backbone that is being used to re-engineer the entire banking experience including online banking, payment processing, and mortgage applications.
