Cloud-native core banking platform with composable transaction services
Fimple builds a SaaS core banking system for regional and mid-market financial institutions, shipping modular transaction and loan capabilities on Kubernetes + PostgreSQL + Kafka. The stack reveals a serious distributed-systems approach (OpenShift, Rancher, Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, Redis) paired with SWIFT/SEPA compliance work — typical of fintech infrastructure at production scale. Hiring has decelerated to 2 roles in the last 30 days across a 51–200-person org, but active projects signal simultaneous pushes on product (loan module, scalable API development) and commercial motion (regional go-to-market, BDR organization), suggesting they're stabilizing engineering while building out sales.
Fimple is a London-based core banking platform company founded in 2022, positioning itself as an alternative to legacy, monolithic banking systems. The product is a cloud-native SaaS application structured around composable financial services — customers use a Transaction Composer to build and deploy banking products without managing underlying infrastructure. The platform runs on public cloud (AWS, Azure) with Kubernetes orchestration, integrates with banking standards (SWIFT, SEPA), and handles multi-entity financial reporting. They sell to regional banks and financial institutions across the UK, UAE, Egypt, and US, with a mid-market sales motion emerging.
Fimple's backend runs on .NET Core, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server with Kubernetes orchestration (OpenShift, Rancher). Data flows through Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch. Frontend uses Angular and React. DevOps is GitLab CI/CD and Azure DevOps; monitoring via Prometheus and Grafana. SWIFT and SEPA are integrated for banking standards.
Active projects include a loan module, external integration platform, scalable API development, SWIFT/SEPA integration, next-generation core banking platform, and regional go-to-market motion. They are also building out BDR and sales organization infrastructure.
