Episode Details

In this episode, Paul Galloway and Craig Jeffery discuss treasury technology debt, the hidden burden created when legacy systems and infrastructure continue to work but increasingly limit flexibility, security, and future capabilities. They explain how treasury teams can assess technology and identify where outdated tools create the most drag, and how to prioritize upgrades without trying to replace everything at once. The discussion also covers ISO 20022, APIs, AI, cloud-native architecture, interoperability, and why treasury should regularly review its technology stack to maintain a practical runway for future change.
