Overview

A fintech portfolio built for frictionless growth — without sacrificing compliance

Our client is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in India, offering digital lending and online payment solutions throughout Southeast Asia, India, and the USA. With a fast-evolving portfolio spanning core banking infrastructure, lending, and payments, the company needed to deliver frictionless financial experiences while maintaining regulatory trust across multiple jurisdictions.

The company sought a partner with deep expertise in building end-to-end digital financial platforms — capable of optimizing market operations, improving customer experience, and driving growth without compromising compliance or security. 10decoders collaborated with the client to build and launch a secure, scalable, cloud-native fintech platform.

The result: 40% uplift in onboarding conversion, 3x transaction volume with zero downtime, 70% faster go-to-market, and 50% reduction in operational costs — all while achieving full RBI, SEBI, and global compliance readiness.

Challenge & Approach

The Problem, and How We Solved It

A fragmented fintech stack that couldn't scale, onboard efficiently, or meet modern compliance demands.

The Challenge

  • Fragmented onboarding with manual KYC/AML — data silos, long processing times, and high user drop-offs
  • Legacy infrastructure unable to scale with transaction growth — performance risk and potential downtime at peak
  • RBI and SEBI compliance requirements demanded a compliance-by-design model — manual processes created audit risk

Our Approach

  • Built AI-powered KYC/AML workflows — 40% uplift in onboarding conversion, zero manual friction
  • Migrated to cloud-native, containerized microservices — scaled 3x transaction volume with zero downtime
  • Designed compliance-by-design architecture aligned with RBI, SEBI, and global standards from day one
