Security by design
Engineered into every layer.
Banking-grade controls from the network up - encryption, identity, secure APIs and complete auditability.
Encryption everywhere
Data encrypted in transit and at rest (TLS, AES).
Identity & access
Enterprise SSO and identity management (Keycloak), MFA, and federated identity (LDAP, Azure AD, SAML, OpenID) with granular role-based access. Because our IAM is open-source, you retain full ownership of your authentication data - even if you ever migrate.
Secure APIs
OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, tokenisation, and least-privilege access.
Full auditability
Comprehensive audit logging, session monitoring and complete activity trails.
Resilience & availability
Built to stay up.
Geo-redundant storage and real-time replication across availability zones, with automated failover and defined RPO/RTO - disaster recovery and business continuity tested quarterly, with a full annual test and a test before every new partner go-live.
Platform uptime
Storage + automated failover
DR & BC testing
Data protection & residency
Your data, on your terms.
On-soil hosting
In-country data residency - transaction data can remain in-market while only aggregate metadata travels up.
Deploy your way
Private cloud, public cloud (Azure / AWS) or on-premise, to meet each institution's policy.
Protected by default
Regular backups, encryption and least-privilege controls throughout.
Governance
Overseen at board level.
Regular independent security audits and compliance reviews.
Board-level oversight with Audit, Risk, and Technology & Innovation committees.
