Who We Serve

Banking is not one market. We know all of them.

Retail Banking Business Banking Wealth Management Insurance Fintech & Neo-banks Payments

From Tier 1 retail banks modernising their core to fintech scale-ups building new digital products — the challenges look different on the surface. Below that, the pressure is the same: deliver faster, reduce cost, improve the customer experience, and stay compliant.

Finative works across all of these contexts because we understand the banking domain — not just the technology stack.

Our banking services
Legacy core banking constraints
Monolithic cores slow everything down — new product launches, regulatory compliance, and digital experience improvements all bottleneck at the core.
Rising customer expectations
Customers now compare their bank to their best digital experience — not to other banks. The gap between expectation and reality is widening.
Fintech and neo-bank competition
Challengers are launching products in weeks that incumbents take years to deliver. Digital agility has become an existential requirement.
Regulatory and compliance pressure
DORA, open banking mandates, ESG reporting and evolving AML requirements demand platform agility alongside technical compliance expertise.
Platform Expertise

The platforms that power modern banking — and the team to deliver them.

Finative holds deep, certified expertise across the leading digital banking and core banking platforms. We don't support every platform superficially — we specialise where we can deliver the most value.

Managed Services Takeover for a Leading Australian Digital Bank

A leading Australian digital bank had implemented Backbase successfully but was experiencing slow release cycles, high operational costs and limited customisation under their existing managed services provider. Finative stepped in to take full ownership — optimising DevOps, cutting overhead and delivering tailored platform evolution aligned to the bank's strategic goals.

Why Finative

The banking SI built for the mid-market and enterprise —
without the large SI price tag.

Mid-market and enterprise banks have specific needs. Too complex for a boutique. Too price-sensitive for Tier 1 consultancies. Finative was built for exactly this.

100+ certified Backbase experts

The largest dedicated Backbase engineering team of any independent SI partner — PMs, SAs, BAs, backend, frontend, mobile and QA specialists with an average of 4+ years on the platform.

Banking domain depth

Our teams understand banking operations — product structures, regulatory frameworks, integration patterns and the commercial context behind every technical decision. Domain knowledge built in, not bolted on.

~40% lower cost than large SIs

Vietnam-based engineering hub with Western account management and delivery leadership. Enterprise quality at a cost structure that makes programmes viable — not just technically, but commercially.

Faster than Tier 1 consultancies

No global project queue. No competing priorities. Your programme gets a dedicated team and a delivery lead who is accountable to you — not to a utilisation target.

Full programme or team extension

End-to-end implementation or certified engineers embedded in your existing team. Finative structures the engagement around what you actually need — not what sells the most.

Proven delivery record

Multiple live Backbase implementations across APAC and beyond. A managed services track record that includes 2x release velocity and ~40% cost reduction for a leading Australian digital bank.
