Architecture & Solution Design

Architecture from people who have run it in production

We design payment platforms end to end, from switching and issuing to tokenization, keys and fraud, and we review existing designs before they become expensive problems.

What we do

How we help

01

Target architecture

End-to-end architecture for availability, security, scale and certification, documented so it can be governed.

02

Solution design and specifications

Message specifications, interfaces and transaction flows, written to the level vendors can build and test against.

03

Independent architecture review

A structured review of an existing or proposed design, with prioritized, practical recommendations.

04

Migration and coexistence

Transition architectures that let old and new platforms run together until cutover is safe.
