10x Banking – Security & Identity Systems Delivery for UK Bank Launches

10x Banking is a cloud-native Banking-as-a-Service platform, powering modern digital banking operations. Apprilis supported 10x Banking in the UK launches of Chase UK and Westpac’s digital banking platform, providing specialist expertise in security and identity systems to ensure operational readiness and regulatory compliance.

Andrew, acting as the Security and Identity Systems SME, oversaw the deployment and operational readiness of all authentication and customer security systems. His leadership ensured that both banks delivered secure, reliable, and compliant access for customers and colleagues from day one.

Challenge

Launching cloud-native banking platforms in the UK presented several complex challenges:

  • Migrating sensitive customer and internal data securely across multiple environments.
  • Coordinating authentication, step-up security, onboarding, and payments systems.
  • Delivering zero-downtime deployments during go-live.
  • Minimising operational risk while meeting strict regulatory and compliance requirements.

Our Approach

Andrew led the planning and execution of data migrations, deployments, and release processes across all operating environments. Key actions included:

  • Designing secure migration strategies for sensitive banking data.
  • Implementing authentication and identity management systems aligned with regulatory requirements.
  • Introducing automation and monitoring to reduce risk and achieve near-zero failure rates.
  • Coordinating cross-functional teams to ensure seamless go-lives for both Chase UK and Westpac.

By combining deep technical expertise with hands-on delivery, Andrew and the Apprilis team ensured that identity and security systems were robust, repeatable, and fully operational at launch.

Impact

  • Successful, low-risk go-lives for Chase UK and Westpac digital banking platforms.
  • Near-zero failure rates in security and identity deployments through automation and monitoring.
  • A secure, compliant, cloud-native platform capable of scaling with customer demand.
  • Strengthened operational resilience and confidence in the platforms’ day-to-day running.
