Banking on Innovation: Financial Services Soar with AWS Cloud
Money in the Cloud: Financial Services’ Digital Evolution with AWS | Case Study
A fast-growing FinTech startup set out to deliver instant mobile loan services to its clients. But as demand increased, its outdated tech infrastructure held it back, limiting innovation and slowing growth.
The team needed a way to verify client identities in real-time—without human input. However, legacy systems on the government side made integrating APIs impossible. This bottleneck risked slowing down approvals and hurting user experience.
To move forward, the startup searched for a reliable cloud solution that could power its web-based loan platform. They focused on building a scalable, secure infrastructure that would support real-time processes and fuel long-term growth. Their goal was clear: streamline services, boost performance, and prepare for the future with confidence

Environment
Objective
Ensuring continuous operation was paramount for the business, operating within the Financial Services Sector, where even minor disruptions could incur substantial costs and damage the company’s reputation. The fundamental requirements were to establish an agile, secure, scalable, and resilient network infrastructure, with strict segregation between various services, guaranteeing uninterrupted services and safeguarding the company’s standing in the industry.
What was done
We have looked into several Cloud Technology providers, and after some discussion, we came to the conclusion we chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the provider for the platform. AWS offered all the advantages to support the scope of the requirements. We have designed, configured and deployed the following;
- A comprehensive, detail designed ensured that the environment is scalable without any conflicts
- The next-generation firewall was deployed to provide in-depth packet inspection
- F5 Load-balancers gave the advantage of the scalability and provided additional enhanced security and offloading traffic encryption
- The whole platform -> network was designed with resiliency in mind and tested extensively
- From the start infrastructure was incredibly reliable, so the client has more time to focus on innovation rather than managing infrastructure
- We could swiftly handover to an in-house IT team, without any worry about managing the infrastructure by themselves
Achievement
The company has flourished since being on AWS, expanding to other emerging markets and increasing its customer base by hundreds of thousands of customers in the space of a few months.
High-availability ensures zero-downtime from applications, services and databases since moving to AWS and considerably increased and optimised the performance of the front-end applications that the customers noticed.
