A major UK banking group

Banking

Economic crime prevention as a shared orchestration platform

The first real-time API-based screening platform in the group's economic crime prevention capability. Commercial customer onboarding went from 10 days to hours, across sanctions, PEP, and adverse media, harmonised across multiple vendors and bank brands.

  • Unified orchestration layer for sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening. Ultimately the primary entry-point for all screening journeys
  • Vendor-agnostic architecture: screening providers are interchangeable without re-platforming
  • Harmonised multi-vendor ecosystem with consistent data contracts and policy controls
  • Built to add new screening vendors, data sources and jurisdictions without architectural change

Banking

Modernising customer screening for agility and oversight

Re-architected customer screening as an event-driven platform with modern observability, non-repudiation audit trails, and pluggable provider adapters, capable of handling real-time screening as well as full-book rescreen powered by a distributed search architecture. The platform is designed to extend to group-wide screening requirements including batch, regulatory lists, and payments.

  • Re-architected screening as an event-driven platform with distributed search architecture
  • Capable of real-time screening and full-book rescreen across large data volumes
  • Delivered modern observability and non-repudiation audit trails
  • Enabled efficient onboarding of new screening providers and policies
  • Supported high-availability requirements under significant transaction volumes

Banking

Preparing core banking for a hybrid cloud, "zero data centre" future

Defined a hybrid cloud strategy and migration roadmap for core banking workloads, introducing elastic burst capacity, domain-aligned service decomposition, and platform-level observability without a disruptive "big bang" migration.

  • Defined hybrid cloud target architecture and migration patterns
  • Introduced burst capacity for peak processing without overprovisioning
  • Improved resilience, observability and change safety for core services
  • Created a roadmap from monolithic workloads to domain-aligned services
