Low-code and no-code platforms in financial services

We set up low-code and no-code platforms so business teams can build applications quickly, inside rules IT can support.

Low-code work is about governed citizen development: environments, data access, review steps and support once an application is in use. We set up the platform and its rules, build the first applications with your teams and train the people who will build the next ones.

Financial institutions work under close central bank supervision, with fraud exposure and customers who expect money to move instantly. Risk, compliance and operations teams need to see how each change affects controls before it goes live, so we involve them from design onwards. Applications built by business teams still handle personal and government data, so data residency, the UAE PDPL, the Saudi PDPL and the security controls your regulator expects apply to them as to any other system.

After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What we deliver

Specialists in financial services and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.

  • Platform governance

    Separate environments, data policies and a review step before any application reaches production.

  • First applications

    A first set of applications built with business teams on real processes.

  • Builder enablement

    Training, templates and a support model for staff who build applications outside IT.

  • Regulatory landscape

    We map delivery evidence to the expectations of the regulator you answer to: the Central Bank of the UAE or, for capital market firms, the Securities and Commodities Authority; in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), including its Cyber Security Framework, or the Capital Market Authority.

  • Application lifecycle

    Versioning, testing and promotion between environments, so changes made by business teams can be traced.

  • Integration and data access

    Approved connectors to core systems, with data access granted by role rather than by builder.

What to have in place first

A low-code programme is ready to start when IT and the business agree who may build, and there is a backlog of small processes waiting for an application.

  • The regulatory reporting and audit dates the programme must respect have been identified.
  • IT and the business have agreed who may build applications and which data they may use.
  • A first list of processes to build has been drawn up with business owners.
