Built for regulation. Engineered for scale.

Platform engineering for fintech companies where trust, compliance and uptime aren't optional.

Your platform handles real money. Your regulators don't accept excuses. You need engineering that takes both seriously.

Sound familiar?

Compliance is eating your roadmap
Every feature needs a security review. Every change needs an audit trail. Your engineers spend more time on compliance documentation than building product. The regulators keep raising the bar, and your infrastructure wasn't designed for this level of scrutiny.

Scaling without breaking things
Transaction volumes are growing. New products are launching. But your platform architecture was built for where you were two years ago, not where you're heading. Every new feature increases the risk of something going wrong at the worst possible moment.

Auditability is an afterthought
Your auditors want to see who did what, when, and why. Your platform wasn't built with that level of traceability. Retrofitting it is expensive. Not retrofitting it is a regulatory risk you can't afford.

Can't find engineers who understand finance
Fintech engineering isn't just software engineering. You need people who understand transaction processing, multi-party workflows, regulatory constraints and what happens when things go wrong with real money on the line.

What we bring to fintech

ISO 27001 certified

We don't just help you get certified. We are certified. Our own systems, processes and people meet the international standard for information security. We know what auditors look for because we've been through it ourselves.

Built for regulated industries

Audit trails, access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, data retention policies and disaster recovery. We build these in from day one, not as an afterthought when the regulator comes knocking.

Multi-party platforms

Fintech rarely involves just one party. Lenders, borrowers, solicitors, brokers and insurers. We've built platforms that give every party the right access to the right data, with full traceability across every interaction.

25 years in the space

We've been building platforms for financial services since before "fintech" was a word. Internet infrastructure, payment systems, trading platforms and lending marketplaces. The technology changes. The discipline doesn't.

£120M+ deployed through a platform we built

Sentry Funding connects solicitors with litigation funders through a secure digital marketplace. They needed a platform that could handle sensitive legal and financial data across multiple parties, with ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 compliance baked in.

We built the software, the infrastructure and the compliance framework. The Sentry Portal manages transparent digital case files across solicitors, funders, ATE providers, barristers and cost lawyers.

The result: Over £120M of capital deployed by Sentry Funding's panel of funders, across more than 25,000 cases. A platform built once, properly, that handles growth without drama.

Typical investment

Every business is unique, so we quote based on your specific situation. But you also need a sense of costs before investing your time. Here's what typical engagements look like:

Advisory

From £1,200/day

Architecture reviews, technology strategy and security assessments.

Typically 1 to 5 days

  • Initial consultation
  • Technology strategy
  • Architecture or security review
  • Written report with prioritised recommendations
  • Follow-up call to walk through findings
  • Actionable roadmap with clear next steps

Projects

From £50,000

Discovery through to delivery. Scoped, quoted and delivered with no surprises.

Aligned with your goals

  • Discovery workshops
  • Technical design and architecture
  • Development sprints with regular demos
  • Testing, security review and QA
  • Deployment and infrastructure setup
  • Handover documentation and training
  • Post-launch support period

Entry Retainer

From £750/month

Ongoing support, monitoring and security patching tailored to you.

Ongoing, monthly rolling

  • Platform monitoring
  • Security patching and updates
  • SLA-backed response times
  • Monthly status reporting
  • Access to account manager

Full Retainer

From £6,000/month

A dedicated team that knows your systems, available when you need them.

Ongoing, monthly rolling

  • Everything in Entry, plus:
  • Ongoing development
  • Strategic roadmap planning
  • Monthly reviews and reporting
  • Continuous improvement
  • Priority response times
  • Direct access to senior engineers

These are starting points. We deliver what you need, within a budget that works.

Every retainer is designed around your needs, covering everything from security patching and monitoring to a fully embedded engineering team.

For fintech engagements, we typically start with a security and architecture review before scoping a build. This protects both sides: you get an honest assessment before committing and we understand your regulatory landscape before writing a line of code.

Start with a Fintech Architecture & Security Review

Five days, fixed fee ( £6,000 + VAT). Two days getting under the bonnet — access, codebase walkthrough, infra and integration mapping. Two days deep-dive on architecture, security posture, regulated-data flows and operational maturity. One day writing it up.

You walk away with:

  • A written architecture & security assessment, against the criteria investor security DD actually asks about.
  • A prioritised remediation plan — what to fix before fundraise, what to defer.
  • A clear answer to “is this DD-ready?” — and if not, what 30 / 60 / 90 days of work gets it there.

If the review finds the work is bigger than the headline scope warrants, the £6,000 rolls into the engagement budget. If you're in better shape than you thought, you walk away with a clean diagnostic for your next investor conversation.
