IT services for banks, fintechs and asset managers
We modernize core banking, payments and risk systems while they keep running, and we build the controls and audit trail in from the first design decision.
What slows technology work down in financial services
Core systems that cannot go offline
Core banking platforms, trading systems and risk engines built decades ago still process live transactions. Replacing them means phased migration, parallel running and a tested rollback plan, not a weekend cutover.
Regulatory deadlines that do not move
DORA, Basel rules, SR 11-7 model risk guidance, SOX and PCI DSS all reach into the technology estate. A missed deadline is a supervisory problem, not just a late project.
Front, middle and back office on different data
Trading, risk, operations and payments systems were bought separately and do not share a data model. Positions get reconciled by hand in spreadsheets, and regulators want a single view of risk.
Payments messaging in transition
The move from SWIFT MT messages to ISO 20022 touches the core banking system, the payments hub and treasury at once, often through integration layers nobody has documented.
How we help financial institutions
We connect core banking, payments, trading and treasury systems through documented APIs, including ISO 20022, SWIFT and FIX message flows, so data stops moving by file transfer and spreadsheet.
Service details AI and DataWe build risk and regulatory reporting pipelines with data lineage from source record to reported figure, and fraud detection models that feed your case management tools.
Service details Cloud ModernizationWe move regulated workloads to AWS or Azure in an order set by risk, with infrastructure as code, tested rollback and the operational resilience evidence DORA asks for.
Service details Cybersecurity and RiskWe put access control, monitoring and audit evidence in place across the systems we work on, and support your PCI DSS, SOX and third-party risk reviews.
Service details Custom Application DevelopmentWe build internal tools such as risk dashboards, portfolio and payments applications, with the source code and documentation handed to your team at the end.
Service detailsWhat we work with
We place Java and .NET engineers, data engineers, business analysts with payments, risk or regulatory reporting experience, and QA testers. We also supply finance specialists such as FP&A analysts, accountants and audit support staff.

The kind of work we do here
Moving core banking off the mainframe, one domain at a time
A bank runs payments, accounts and lending on a mainframe that cannot support the APIs its digital products and regulatory reporting now need. A single cutover is out of the question because the system cannot go down.
Read scenarioCutting false alerts in anti-money laundering monitoring
A bank's threshold-based AML rules flag huge numbers of transactions, nearly all of them false positives. Analysts spend their days clearing noise while layering and shell company patterns slip through.
Read scenarioStaffing a regulatory remediation programme against a fixed deadline
After an examination finding, a financial institution has a fixed date to fix its compliance technology. Its own recruiters cannot find engineers and analysts who understand both the systems and the regulation in time.
Read scenarioCommon questions
Can you work on a core banking system without disrupting customers?
Yes. We plan migrations in phases, run old and new systems in parallel and reconcile the results before any cutover. Each step has a rollback plan that is tested before the change window opens.
Do you help with ISO 20022 migration?
Yes. We map your current payment message flows first, then build the translation, enrichment and routing layer between your core banking system and the payment networks.
Will you complete our vendor due diligence?
Yes. We answer security and third-party risk questionnaires, including DORA and SOX related questions, and put you in touch with the people who will do the technical work.
Can we start with contract staff and move to a managed project later?
Yes. Many clients start with a few engineers or analysts and later hand us a scoped piece of delivery. The same reporting and handover rules apply either way.
