Expert integration for finance and banking

Integration platforms built for secure, compliant financial data and operational resilience.

Financial institutions often operate complex technology environments that include core banking platforms, payments infrastructure, regulatory reporting tools and legacy applications.

Integration in these environments must deliver more than simple connectivity; systems must exchange data securely, reliably and in line with strict regulatory requirements.

Microsoft Azure Integration Services and BizTalk Server provide a powerful foundation for connecting complex financial environments, from core banking and payments platforms to risk management and reporting systems. Our integration solutions implement vendor-neutral middleware that enables consistent data exchange, automated workflows and real-time operational insight across financial systems.

This approach enables institutions to reduce operational risk, strengthen collaboration between departments, and equip teams with reliable information for effective decision-making, while ensuring sensitive financial data remains protected and compliant across all integration workflows.

Integration capabilities for financial institutions

  • Azure Integration Services and BizTalk Server architectures designed specifically for financial services environments.
  • End-to-end integration across core banking, payments, risk management and financial reporting systems.
  • Integration of finance operations, regulatory compliance platforms and internal staff workflows.
  • Vendor-neutral middleware that eliminates dependency on individual application vendors.
  • Medallion data architecture using bronze, silver and gold layers to support structured, high-quality data management.
  • Enterprise data models designed independently of individual application platforms.
  • Support for both real-time and batch integration across transaction, reporting and analytics workloads.
  • Connectivity across departments, branches and central financial operations.
  • Microsoft integration architecture design, deployment and operational support.
  • Managed services that support operational reliability, governance and continuous optimisation.

Don’t just take our word for it…

Our clients say it best

Affinus was a key partner in getting our Microsoft integration platform. They took care of the build and upgrade in a straightforward, no-nonsense way. They also provided support across our BizTalk and AIS application stack. Their support has been reliable and they’re quick to respond to issues. They are practical in their approach to solutions. They’re easy to deal with, available when we need them and delivered what they said they would.

Affinus demonstrated flexibility in navigating our operational constraints, working around our ever-changing timelines, bau changes, and competing university priorities. Throughout the migration, Affinus remained readily available and showed a clear understanding of the operational and technical complexities of HE IT environments. Their combination of technical expertise, dependability, and collaborative working style gave us confidence throughout the delivery, and I would recommend Affinus to any university undertaking a similar BTS migration.

Frequently asked questions

Financial organisations often operate with multiple legacy systems that don’t communicate efficiently. Cloud integration using Azure helps unify these platforms, improving operational efficiency and enabling secure, real-time access to critical financial data.

Our integration solutions are designed to support regulatory compliance while helping reduce operational risk across complex financial systems.

Yes. Many financial institutions rely on legacy on-premises applications. Azure Integration Services – including Logic Apps, Service Bus and Event Grid – support hybrid integration, allowing legacy systems to connect with modern cloud platforms.

This enables organisations to modernise integration architectures gradually while maintaining stability and continuity across existing systems.

At Affinus, security and regulatory compliance are central to how we design and implement integration platforms. Integrations are configured with governance policies, secure authentication, encryption and continuous monitoring, ensuring sensitive financial data is protected and regulatory requirements are met.

Yes. Integrating financial systems enables consistent, reliable data flows across platforms, supporting improved reporting and analytics.

Real-time integration and structured data models allow organisations to build reporting pipelines and dashboards that provide clearer operational insight and support confident decision-making.

Large integration programmes require careful planning and architectural design. We work with institutions to plan and model integrations, ensuring clear visibility of costs, dependencies and scaling requirements from the outset.

Structured design approaches and automation help reduce operational complexity, minimise overhead and maintain efficient platform performance as integration environments grow.

Azure provides powerful integration tools, but enterprise-scale integration environments still require expertise in architecture, messaging and governance.

We provide consultancy, training and managed services to help ensure integrations are implemented, monitored and optimised effectively, while also supporting internal teams in developing the capability to manage integration platforms over time.

Yes. Azure Integration Services are designed to scale with organisational growth, supporting additional systems, departments and services without compromising performance.

We design integration architectures that remain flexible and secure, so platforms can adapt as financial systems, services and operational requirements evolve.

Yes. We provide fully managed services that include monitoring, optimisation and incident management to help ensure integration platforms remain secure, reliable and performing consistently over time. 

Ongoing support also helps organisations maintain stable integrations as systems, regulatory requirements and operational needs evolve.
