I remember a similar story shared this year at JAX2026 from the Sparkasse Group, they said they were using AI to migrate from COBOL, but they still were in the middle of the migration. Maybe they faced the same issues / problems? It seemed pretty zealous to me, that everything was working smoothly, but this article highlights the limitations

some years ago I talked to a software engineer at a bank, he said it would be too risky for them to move away from the mainframe what with regulations and all, I'm not sure if AI could make the banks more risk friendly, so if Sparkasse does that already, I, for one, am eager to learn the result (and am happy to have no account there)
