The challenge
DTB wanted to move off legacy applications and modernise its core banking platform sustainably.
- Integrating with external players was complex.
- The legacy core banking platform could not scale, causing downtime at peak load.
- The bank lacked in-house expertise to deliver its goals.
What we did
FinSense decoupled the core banking modules and built a scalable middleware layer using open-source technology, including Kubernetes.
Results
- 01Greater scalability and reduced downtime.
- 02Easier integration with third parties.
- 03Internal knowledge retention and capacity building.
The outcome
The elastic foundation made later initiatives possible, including DTB's Banking-as-a-Service platform.
