Enterprise Core Banking for a Gold Loan NBFC
A next-generation, microservices-based core banking and lending platform — engineered for scale, compliance and future AI.
The challenge
Monolithic systems couldn't scale. The NBFC needed a platform to:
- Manage end-to-end lending
- Support multi-branch expansion
- Handle high transaction volumes
- Integrate many third-party systems
- Ensure compliance and auditability
- Enable future AI capabilities
- Run on enterprise on-premise infrastructure
We delivered consulting, architecture, backend engineering and AI enablement.
How it works
A core banking microservices ecosystem
Independently scalable services, connected through an event-driven architecture:
- 01
Customer, loan, liability, asset and auction management services
- 02
Payment processing, financial accounting and workflow management
- 03
Rule engine, audit & compliance, and document management
- 04
Notifications, reporting & analytics, third-party integrations
- 05
User and access management with role-based control
