The core pressures BFSI leaders face in 2026

Modern banking and fintech technology leaders are managing three conflicting priorities simultaneously, where every architectural mistake carries heavy operational and regulatory penalties.

Legacy systems hold the data, but block agility

Core systems running on COBOL, legacy .NET, or older Java versions are stable, but they reject modern business needs: open APIs, real-time settlement, and cross-border integrations. Full replacement is too risky. We specialize in phased, evidence-based modernization – mapping undocumented "as-is" processes into clean BPMN/Sequence structures and splitting monoliths into agile microservices without breaking accounting consistency.

High-performance compliance is non-negotiable

SOC 2, PCI-DSS, DORA, GDPR, and the EU AI Act require deep systemic traceability. When a regulator asks how an automated decision or transaction occurred, the answer must be instantly inspectable. We build audit logging, secure HMAC key storage, cryptographic workflows, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints directly into the software core.

Tokenized AI is mandatory, but production data is chaotic

AI pilots fail after 90 days because models trained on clean data struggle with raw, messy production feeds. We bridge this gap by engineering robust orchestration layers, asynchronous background processing, and confidence-based scoring models for automated transaction categorization and risk underwriting.

What we deliver to Financial Services sector

Concrete engineering across the full BFSI stack – from high-volume ledgers to multi-venue exchange infrastructure, drawn from 20+ years of industry-focused delivery.

Core banking, high-volume ledgers & automated reconciliation

Account management, deposit operations, double-entry bookkeeping, and automated billing engines. We design and optimize distributed financial ledgers processing millions of transactions per day, and build cost-optimized event processing systems that scale via indexing and batching optimization rather than expensive database upgrades.

Lending, mortgage & credit automation

Loan origination, automated application ingestion, financial scoring engines, and microservice refactoring. We have decoupled complex monolithic lending systems into 35+ independent microservices, dramatically increasing application processing throughput.

Open banking integrations & cross-border payments

End-to-end engineering of multi-bank aggregation platforms, secure API architectures, and automated payment routing. We seamlessly integrate third-party fintech ecosystems (Plaid, Stripe, Clearbank) and embed automated AML/sanctions screening workflows (Mastercard, Moody's).

Trading, brokerage & exchange infrastructure

High-concurrency trading platforms with real-time market data streaming, order matching engines, and multi-venue exchange aggregators. Our teams execute deep infrastructure upgrades (e.g., migrating enterprise trading cores to Java 25 and Spring Boot 4) with zero downtime and full end-to-end trace propagation via Prometheus and Micrometer.

Client testimonial

The amount of time which Azati Software's work has saved our company, as well as me, has been fantastic. We typically look at what we need, and at what can be automated, and get Azati Software to do the work. What might take me three or four days to figure out how to do, Azati Software can do in a couple of hours because of their existing knowledge. I've recommended Azati Software on multiple occasions, to anyone looking for their types of services.

Axel Sturmann IT Manager, Venstar Exchange

Our core technical expertise in BFSI

A polyglot engineering core, with the depth to modernize enterprise estates and the breadth to meet financial institutions on whatever stack they run.

Java

The workhorse of enterprise banking. Azati's BFSI Java work spans Java 8 → 21/25 migration programs, Spring Boot 2 → 4 upgrades, microservice decomposition of monoliths, and Spring AI / LangChain4j integration for AI features inside existing enterprise systems.

.NET & the Microsoft stack

For BFSI clients with Microsoft estates: .NET application development, Agentic AI on Semantic Kernel + Azure OpenAI for production AI agents, SharePoint and document-management migrations, and DevOps automation on Azure.

Python

Risk modeling, ML pipelines, trading-system computation cores, data engineering. FastAPI, Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, Celery – the toolkit for the parts of BFSI where math has to meet production engineering.

Selected case studies

Lending

37-service microservice decomposition for a lending platform

The challenge

A monolithic loan processing application limited operational scalability, causing delays in loan amendment workflows and high maintenance overhead.

The solution

Azati mapped the undocumented backend workflows into clean architectural diagrams and split the monolith into 37 distinct microservices.

The outcome

3× increase in loan-amendment throughput, a 61% reduction in case resolution time, and a highly maintainable infrastructure with independent service deployment.

Mortgage QA

High-throughput compliance & risk mitigation in construction lending

The challenge

A fintech mortgage platform experienced critical data synchronization errors between its scoring and calculation engines right before launch.

The solution

Our QA team isolated a 5–7% calculation drift caused by race conditions during parallel requests and unaligned caching layers under high load. We re-engineered the cache synchronization logic.

The outcome

Reduced calculation variance to 0%, lowered API error rates from 8% to <0.5%, and added full concurrent-access automated test coverage for several thousand applications daily.

Payments

International payment escrow & sanctions screening platform

The challenge

An international payment intermediary faced an urgent technical debt crisis and a critical infrastructure engineering shortage in the UK.

The solution

Azati deployed dedicated Cloud/DevOps engineers within 48 hours. We rebuilt the cloud-native infrastructure using Pulumi (Go/TypeScript), integrated Mastercard and Clearbank APIs, and deployed Tigerbeetle for high-speed ledger consistency.

The outcome

Unblocked the internal engineering leadership, automated the CI/CD pipelines via AWS CodePipeline, and established robust monitoring using Datadog and Grafana.

Why FinTechs and banks stay with Azati

No security-stamp marketing, no synthetic case studies — just the reasons real banks, exchanges, and fintechs keep Azati engineering their mission-critical systems.

  • Fast integration, zero friction

    We fill critical engineering and DevOps talent gaps in days, not months. We adapt immediately to your internal task management (Linear, Jira) and communication tools.

  • Long-term system ownership

    Average engineer tenure at Azati is 8+ years. The team that modernizes your core banking application is the same team that supports it through future regulatory shifts.

  • Agnostic to proprietary tech

    Whether your infrastructure relies on standard open-source tools or custom, bank-proprietary internal frameworks, our polyglot engineering team learns and masters your environment quickly.

  • Regulator-ready by design

    We don't patch security compliance at the end of a sprint. Data encryption, signed webhook verification, role-based access control (RBAC), and automated audit logs are baked into our daily code commits.

  • Flexible engagement & contracting

    Unlike traditional outsourcing with its rigid contractual bottlenecks, Azati aligns with your real business risks and budget limits. Learn more about our engagement models.

  • Public clients in BFSI

    Auction.com. Venstar Exchange. Algowave. MedPro Group. DOXA. Plus dozens of named and anonymized engagements with banks, exchanges, insurers, brokers, and financial-services firms.

Frequently asked questions

We apply an evidence-based migration approach. Before writing code, our business analysts map the "as-is" state into strict BPMN structures. We run parallel accounting ledgers during the migration phase, utilize automated data reconciliation scripts, and execute high-concurrency regression testing to guarantee zero ledger drift and total consistency.

Yes. Our engineers have extensive experience working with non-standard, internal software ecosystems developed natively by banks. We analyze undocumented code, write comprehensive technical documentation, and build clean integration layers on top of proprietary systems.

We implement AI-assisted workflows – such as transaction categorization – strictly as asynchronous background processes with confidence-based threshold filters. Decisions below safety thresholds are automatically routed to human operators. Every model response is logged alongside its production context to ensure full inspectability for financial auditors.
