Financial Services in Wales
Building a production banking system in Wales from zero requires PCI DSS scope design, BSA/AML architecture, and UK GDPR and DPA 2018 compliance embedded from the first API design. Core banking built without these constraints requires more expensive remediation later.
The Big Three core banking vendors — FIS, Fiserv, Jack Henry — are so universally disliked that banking trade associations are funding alternatives. Long-term contracts, outdated technology, closed systems, and prices that make modernization feel impossible. The industry is ready for engineering teams that build open, compliant alternatives.
How We Deliver in Wales
United Kingdom and Financial Services Frameworks
Financial Services organizations in Wales operate under both United Kingdom regional frameworks and sector-specific compliance requirements. We embed all applicable frameworks architecturally — not as a parallel compliance workstream running alongside engineering.
