Not only Financial services are changing faster than ever.
What once took decades to evolve now happens in a few months. Digital engineering is at the heart of this acceleration, turning traditional banks into tech companies and fintechs into global competitors.
The Bank for International Settlements notes a critical shift: technology no longer simply supports the business model — it defines it. Financial institutions that understand this are redesigning everything: architecture, security, customer experience, even regulation compliance.
Oktana has spent the last decade helping companies move at this new speed.
We provide the staff augmentation and managed services strengths that banks and fintechs need to lead and scale their services in relation to their needs.
Digital Engineering for Financial Services: A Clearer Definition
In financial services, “going digital” used to mean putting forms online or moving databases to the cloud.
Today’s digital engineering instead demands:
- Cloud-native platforms capable of dynamic scaling.
- AI-driven decision-making embedded across services.
- Real-time API integrations with fintech ecosystems.
- New models of cybersecurity, including federated learning and blockchain-based frameworks.
Research from Deloitte highlights how leaders in the financial industry are investing heavily in multi-cloud strategies, API-led ecosystems, and machine learning — not as experiments, but as core infrastructure.
The race isn’t for who can implement technology.
It’s for who can design systems that anticipate change.
Moving Financial Services Companies Forward
We focus on building foundations that last, scaling teams as needed, and ensuring every digital move supports business growth.
Why Digital Engineering Demands a New Kind of Partner
The shift to digital engineering in financial services exposes a harsh reality: traditional outsourcing models no longer work.
Long RFP cycles, rigid contracts, and siloed delivery have no place when systems must adapt in real time to regulatory changes, new market entrants, or customer behavior shifts.
As Broadridge’s research highlights, agility in engineering delivery is now as important as technical capability itself.
Oktana fits this new need.
We offer scalable teams, dynamic project engagement models, and real-time collaboration — giving banks and fintechs the flexibility they need to engineer without compromise.
Building Salesforce Architectures That Don’t Just Manage Customers — They Activate Them
As a Salesforce Summit Partner, we specialize in building ecosystems that handle everything from lead generation to post-sale service.
We create architectures that connect Salesforce with payment gateways, risk assessment engines, and regulatory platforms using MuleSoft and Heroku.
These are CRM integrations that help as business accelerators.
Scaling Teams Without Scaling Complexity
In fast-growth sectors like fintech, team size must follow opportunity.
Our nearshore and onshore teams allow clients to expand quickly, without losing control over quality or project velocity.
Operating in U.S.-aligned time zones, Oktana teams bring Agile delivery, strong communication, and a deep understanding of security and compliance demands.
Avasant’s 2024 research shows that flexible engineering sourcing isn’t a trend — it’s a survival strategy.
Working Across Technologies, Because Banking Is No Longer Platform-Bound
Financial services require solutions across languages and frameworks — not loyalty to a vendor or stack.
We build in Java, Python, Node.js, React, and more, ensuring that each system serves the business goal, not just the technology department.
Case Studies: Real Results in Financial Engineering
Oktana’s experience across 850+ projects includes:
- Designing automated onboarding systems for a global fintech, cutting time-to-activation by 40%.
- Engineering real-time fraud detection APIs integrated with major banking backends.
- Rebuilding a payment settlement platform to operate fully on serverless infrastructure, lowering costs and improving reliability.
We deliver measurable impact — faster go-lives, higher CSAT scores, and reduced compliance risks.
Security Engineering as a Core Competency, Not a Feature
Financial innovation cannot happen without trust.
Yet many digital transformation projects treat security like a checkbox at the end of development.
At Oktana, security is part of our engineering DNA.
- Every architecture is threat-modeled at design stage.
- Every code commit passes through automated security scans.
- Every integration follows Salesforce, SOC 2, and OWASP standards.
Moreover, by applying insights from federated learning and blockchain (as outlined in recent arXiv studies), we’re helping financial services clients design systems that protect customer data without centralizing risks — a critical step as regulations tighten globally.
What’s Next: Engineering the Future of Financial Services
The Broadridge 2024 study makes the future crystal clear: AI, blockchain, and digital modernization will be the core battlegrounds for financial services over the next five years.
Those who invest early, build smart, and integrate fearlessly will dominate.
Those who delay will be left managing risk — not opportunity.
Oktana exists to move ambitious financial companies into that winning future.
