Fincole successfully Implements a Global Real-Time Data Integration Platform for Major UK Investment Bank

Fincole has successfully delivered a global real-time data integration platform for the UK’s largest investment bank by market capitalisation, resolving long-standing delays in data synchronisation and reducing reconciliation costs by millions across regions. The programme established a blueprint enterprise architecture enabling rapid integration and adoption across more than 60 countries.

Leading a combined UK and offshore engineering team, Fincole designed and implemented a unified, cloud-native platform for the bank’s Global Banking and Markets (GBM) division. The solution consolidates data from more than 200 golden-source systems into a single, real-time service that delivers accurate, on-demand information to downstream applications. By replacing fragmented regional processes with a global, automated model, the platform significantly improves accuracy, efficiency, and operational resilience.

“This programme transformed how global data is sourced, distributed, and maintained,” said a Director at Fincole. “By removing synchronisation delays and creating a reusable enterprise architecture, the bank can now scale new regions faster, with lower operational cost and far greater reliability.”

Global Delivery and Business Impact

The platform has already been deployed across Hong Kong, Mexico, UAE, Canada, Singapore, and the United States, supporting more than 50,000 live clients. It enables downstream systems to receive real-time updates and request consolidated documents through a single entry point—dramatically reducing manual workloads and eliminating region-by-region reconciliation cycles.

Fincole coordinated delivery across global business and technology teams, ensuring alignment with enterprise governance, security standards, and operational frameworks. This created a scalable operating model and accelerated future rollouts across additional regions.

Key Capabilities Delivered

• Real-time data consolidation: Unified 200+ golden-source systems into one streamlined platform.
• Automated updates: Downstream systems now receive changes instantly without manual intervention.
• Enterprise architecture blueprint: A reusable, scalable model enabling adoption across 60+ countries.
• Global scalability: Successfully deployed across multiple regions, supporting 50,000+ live clients.
• Operational savings: Elimination of reconciliation processes has saved the bank millions per regional rollout.

Enterprise-Grade Engineering

The platform was engineered using Java 8, Spring Boot, Solace PubSub+, IBM MQ, JMS, XDS Document Store, Maven, GitHub, Jenkins CI, secure certificate management (.jks), and deployed on the bank’s internal cloud platform (Pivotal Cloud Foundry). This modern, cloud-native architecture delivers high throughput, reliability, and secure global connectivity while meeting the bank’s strict security, performance, availability, and governance standards.
