The financial services industry has never been more dynamic—or more complex. With increasing regulatory pressure, rising customer expectations, and fierce competition from digital-first startups, traditional legacy systems no longer meet the needs of modern financial institutions. Today, banks, fintechs, and insurers must innovate rapidly, scale efficiently, and ensure the highest standards of security and compliance. Cloud technology is proving to be the key enabler in this transformation.

Cloud Isn’t Just for Storage—It’s Strategic

Cloud platforms such as AWS offer far more than simple infrastructure flexibility—they provide the security, speed, and scalability necessary for financial services to thrive in a digital-first economy.

For example, Ualá, a leading fintech in Argentina, leverages AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, and Amazon Cognito to build scalable and secure financial products delivered via mobile apps. Their cloud-native architecture supports rapid feature deployment and seamless user experiences that traditional systems struggle to match.

Similarly, Bankinter, one of Spain’s top digital banks, transformed its credit risk simulations by migrating to AWS. This migration reduced processing time from 23 hours to just 20 minutes, enabling the bank to react more quickly to market fluctuations and offer better risk management.

These cases prove that cloud adoption is not just an IT upgrade—it’s a strategic necessity for growth, agility, and customer-centric innovation in finance.

Building PCI-Compliant Fintech Platforms with Dedicated Teams

At Switch Software, an official AWS partner, we specialize in helping financial companies accelerate their digital transformation with Dedicated Teams that seamlessly integrate with internal staff.

Take Zenus Bank, a fully digital American bank serving clients in over 90 countries. Zenus faced the challenge of building a PCI Level 1–compliant fintech platform capable of securely processing international transactions at scale. They partnered with Switch Software, leveraging our status as an AWS strategic partner to assemble a dedicated team of cloud and fintech experts.

Our team designed and implemented a serverless architecture on AWS, leveraging managed services to reduce audit complexity while ensuring compliance and security throughout the software development lifecycle. This approach also made the platform highly scalable, enabling Zenus to handle growing transaction volumes without sacrificing performance or security.

The result? Zenus not only accelerated its time to market but also opened new business opportunities through BIN sponsorship and Visa payment processing services.
