Overview

A fintech platform rebuilt for speed, compliance, and scale

A rapidly expanding fintech startup with 150+ engineers across the US, Southeast Asia, and India — serving 20+ global clients in lending, payments, and digital banking. The client needed a unified, cloud-native architecture to handle high transaction volumes, support a growing product portfolio, and meet rigorous regulatory frameworks including RBI, SEBI, and international compliance standards.

10decoders re-architected the entire platform from scratch — converging lending, payments, and core banking into one composable fintech stack, deploying AI-powered KYC/AML automation, and building a regulatory-ready cloud architecture with DevSecOps pipelines. The result: 40% higher onboarding conversions, 70% faster go-to-market, and 3x transaction volume scale.

The Platform

How we rebuilt the fintech stack

Core Banking

Unified Lending, Payments & Banking

Combined core banking systems, payment gateways, and lending modules into a single, composable digital platform — eliminating fragmentation and enabling unified product delivery.

KYC & AML

AI-Powered Identity Verification

Frictionless, AI-driven KYC and AML validation flows eliminated manual verification steps — increasing onboarding throughput and lifting conversions by 40%.

Cloud

Microservices & DevSecOps

Containerized microservices with automated CI/CD pipelines enable real-time scaling, zero-downtime releases, and built-in security deployment across all environments.

Compliance

Regulatory-Ready Architecture

Compliance-oriented architecture built to meet RBI, SEBI, and global audit guidelines — with full auditability and automated reporting baked into the platform foundation.

Speed

70% Faster Go-to-Market

Reusable fintech components and agile delivery methodology reduced product launch times by 70% — enabling the business to ship new financial products at a fraction of the previous time.

Scale

3x Transaction Volume

Post cloud-native migration, the platform handled 3x the previous transaction volume with zero downtime — supporting explosive business growth without infrastructure compromise.

Challenge & Approach

The Problem, and How We Solved It

A fintech platform under pressure — from legacy constraints, KYC friction, and the compliance burden of operating across multiple regulatory frameworks simultaneously.

The Challenge

  • Legacy systems constrained reliability and scale — unable to process increasing transaction volumes, resulting in frequent breakdowns and performance degradation
  • Manual KYC and AML processes created significant onboarding friction — slow, validation-heavy user journeys generated high drop-offs and lost conversions
  • Regulatory compliance hurdles across RBI, SEBI, and international frameworks demanded a far more auditable, structured architecture than the legacy stack could provide

Our Approach

  • Re-architected the platform from scratch with a composable, cloud-native fintech stack — converging lending, payments, and core banking into a unified digital platform
  • Built AI-driven KYC and AML automation — eliminating manual verification friction and lifting onboarding conversions by 40% with frictionless validation flows
  • Deployed DevSecOps microservices with containerized CI/CD pipelines and built compliance-ready architecture aligned to RBI, SEBI, and global audit requirements
The Approach

The Solution

10decoders re-engineered the entire fintech stack — from core banking unification to AI-powered compliance automation — across four coordinated workstreams.

Consolidated Core Banking Platform

Combined lending modules, payment gateways, and core banking systems into a unified, composable digital platform — eliminating silos and enabling consistent, scalable product delivery.

AI-Powered KYC & AML Automation

Frictionless, AI-driven validation flows eliminated manual KYC steps — increasing onboarding throughput and lifting conversions by 40% while reducing compliance risk.

Cloud-Native Microservices with DevSecOps

Containerized services with automated CI/CD pipelines enable real-time scaling, zero-downtime releases, and security-integrated deployment across all fintech environments.

Regulatory-Ready Compliance Architecture

Compliance-oriented architecture with full auditability — built to meet RBI, SEBI, and international regulatory frameworks without slowing product delivery.

How It Fits Together

From fragmented legacy fintech to a unified, compliance-ready platform.

KYC automation, core banking unification, cloud microservices, and regulatory architecture — all converged into one composable fintech platform.

Legacy State

Fragmented Legacy Fintech Stack

Siloed lending, payments and banking. Manual KYC friction. Legacy constraints blocking scale, compliance gaps, and frequent performance breakdowns.
