UK FinTech Engineering • FCA & Open Banking Standards

Sub-10ms Transactional Ledgers & Resilient Open Banking Architecture.

We design and engineer institutional-grade financial ledgers, Open Banking API layers, and real-time fraud detection engines. Built to strict FCA, PSD2, and PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance standards under English law.

FCA & PSD2

Open Banking Aligned APIs

PCI-DSS L1

Air-Gapped Encryption Rails

99.999%

Fault-Tolerant Settlement SLAs

FINANCIAL ARCHITECTURE & REGULATORY DISCIPLINES

Mathematical Precision Built to Withstand Peak Institutional Volume.

Financial platforms cannot tolerate ledger discrepancies, dropped packets, or regulatory ambiguity. Our engineering squads deliver defensive, audited banking systems.

Immutable Transactional Ledgers

Double-Entry Event Sourcing, CockroachDB, Apache Kafka, Go

Cryptographically sealed ledger engines with multi-region Raft consensus, ensuring deterministic zero-balance reconciliation and audit immutability under extreme transaction concurrency.

  • ACID double-entry ledger primitives preventing race conditions.
  • CQRS separation of immutable transaction event streams and balance projections.
  • Automated real-time multi-currency position reconciliation.

Open Banking & PSD3 Payment Rail Integrations

Faster Payments, BACS, CHAPS, Stripe, Plaid, FAPI 2.0

High-security Open Banking gateways conforming to UK Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) and upcoming PSD3 mandates with sub-50ms payment initiation (PISP) and account information (AISP) APIs.

  • Mutual TLS (mTLS 1.3) and FAPI-compliant cryptographic token verification.
  • Direct integration with UK clearing rails (Faster Payments, BACS, CHAPS).
  • Automated mandate consent revocation and audit logging.

Fraud Detection & Real-Time AML Engines

Graph Databases (Neo4j), ClickHouse, Apache Flink, Python

Sub-50ms transaction fraud scoring engines evaluating payment velocity, entity relationship graphs, and automated OFSI/PEP sanctions list matching.

  • Real-time graph traversal detecting mule account rings and layering patterns.
  • High-throughput event streaming with stateful Flink anomaly detection.
  • Automated Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) dossier generation.

Regulatory Audit Readiness & Governance

FCA Reporting Automation, PCI-DSS Level 1, ISO 20022 XML

Institutional-grade compliance architecture translating statutory Bank of England and FCA mandates into programmatic technical controls and tamper-proof evidence logs.

  • PCI-DSS Level 1 air-gapped tokenized cardholder data environments (CDE).
  • Native ISO 20022 financial messaging XML schemas.
  • Tamper-proof audit logs with cryptographic write-once-read-many (WORM) storage.
