Banking & FinTech

Challenges in the sector

Financial institutions are under increasing pressure as digital transactions continue to grow, regulations become stricter, and customer expectations rise. Legacy systems, strict compliance requirements, and complex multi-cloud environments make modernization challenging. Key challenges include:

  • Outdated core systems and slow change cycles
    Architectures from the COBOL era, monolithic designs, and integrations that have been in place for decades limit agility and make delivering new functionality slow and risky.
  • Strict requirements in the areas of security, compliance, and audits
    Requirements such as DORA, PSD2, PCI-DSS, and GDPR call for robust governance, traceability, and secure, consistent operational patterns across all environments.
  • Fragmented platforms and increasing operational complexity
    Multiple clouds, on-premises systems, microservices, and data pipelines increase costs, reduce observability, and put pressure on engineering capacity.

Our solutions

SUE builds secure, compliant, and high-performance cloud-native platforms tailored to financial requirements. We help banks and fintechs to modernize securely, automate operations, and scale innovation. Our solutions include:

  • Secure, compliant, hybrid cloud platforms
    Design of hybrid cloud architectures, high-availability landing zones, Kubernetes on edge, structured data pipelines, and consistent operational models that meet strict financial compliance standards.
  • Reverse architecting legacy modernization
    In-depth analysis of core systems, including COBOL and Fortran applications, dependency mapping, modernization with Re:App, and secure cloud migrations with standardized landing zones.
  • Reliable, scalable digital foundations
    Automated deployments, resilient networks, zero-trust security, and managed platform operations that ensure continuity, auditability, and faster product delivery.

Our use cases in this sector

  • Abstracting infrastructure complexity: In a highly regulated environment, managing traditional Linux VMs distracted teams from delivering real value. Our expert replaced these with Talos OS for Kubernetes, eliminating OS-level maintenance and allowing teams to focus on scaling and building on the platform.

  • Trust through automation: In regulated environments, static credentials undermine the security of automation. Our expert replaced these with temporary SSH keys issued via Vault. This reduces the attack surface and makes automation both fast and secure.
