    The Challenge

    Australia’s leading payments & regulated data services provider approached Synechron to assist with their Open Banking implementation on AWS.

    The project faced strict regulatory deadlines and compliance requirements set by the Consumer Data Right (CDR) for the implementation of an Open Banking platform. Additionally, the cloud infrastructure needed to evolve from EC2 to cloud-native services rapidly, ensuring high availability and security to support multiple banks and fintech partners effectively.

    The Solution

    Synechron successfully developed a cloud-native Open Banking platform on AWS, leveraging services like ECS for scalability and RDS for PostgreSQL to ensure high availability. A collaborative approach with the payment processor's IT team led to the effective design and implementation of the architecture, meeting compliance mandates while also optimizing for performance and cost. Infrastructure deployments were managed as code using Bamboo CD and CloudFormation.

    Technologies included AWS Fargate for Elastic Container Service, API Gateway, Lambda, AWS RDS for PostgreSQL & AWS CloudFormation.

    The Results

    Enhanced scalability and performance, handling increased loads from banks and fintech partners.

    High availability and disaster recovery, minimizing downtime and maintaining service continuity.

    Observability, including extensive monitoring and alerting, using AWS native components.

    Synechron followed an agile process that prioritised specific journeys to release to market according to customer and business needs.

    Kick off

    Discovery phase

    Ongoing Development & Support
