To execute on its startup ambitions, EedenBull sought a turnkey tech partner who could be efficient and yet flexible. Efficient in architecting and building solutions, and scaling the team, and at the same time flexible to adjust to the constant changes in the roadmap of a fast-growing startup. Project Highlights Over a period of almost 2 years, we developed the core banking system for EedenBull and the white-label interfaces, and supported the rollout across 65+ banks in Norway and product enhancements that followed. We adjusted the team mix, skills and size based on the priorities (from 3 to 9 FTE).

The demand for digital transformation in Cambodia has been rising, coupled with the need to reduce unnecessary upfront costs. SME Bank was looking for a tech vendor to help plan the infrastructure for a banking API gateway on AWS. In the second half of 2022, staff from both Slash and SME Bank met at an AWS event, initiating discussions about AWS and the bank’s upcoming needs. After aligning on project goals and expectations, the teams started working together, achieving early successes with proof of concepts that tested crucial criteria such as API availability, server scalability, and web security. However, as the project progressed, the teams recognized a knowledge gap in building the infrastructure foundation required for their envisioned architecture, which needed secure connectivity to their on-premise core system while ensuring scalability and compliance with local regulations. With a looming deadline and the urgency to implement additional app functionalities, it became clear that SME Bank needed an experienced tech partner to navigate these challenges. This brings us back to the initial meeting at the AWS event. The engagement began with the Slash team assessing SME Bank's requirements and formulating a clear strategy for the targeted architecture. The teams aligned on implementation expectations and moved to Phase 2: implementing AWS cloud infrastructure across four environments with a defined disaster recovery plan and secure connections to on-premise APIs. With the support and guidance from Slash, SME Bank successfully completed the project, allowing them to focus on launching new mobile and internet banking initiatives and delivering greater value to their stakeholders and customers.
