In today’s financial landscape, banks and fintech companies face a dual challenge: embracing digital transformation while ensuring compliance with ever-evolving global regulations. From GDPR in Europe to PCI DSS in payments, HIPAA-like data rules for financial records, and FATF guidelines for anti-money laundering (AML), compliance is no longer optional—it’s a competitive differentiator.
At Virstack, we help financial institutions design and deploy compliance-driven core banking systems that are not only scalable and secure but also globally regulation-ready. Unlike generic solutions, our custom AI and software development services align with compliance frameworks while enabling banks to innovate with confidence.
Regulatory compliance in banking touches nearly every process, from customer onboarding to transaction monitoring. A non-compliant system risks:
Heavy Financial Penalties (GDPR fines can reach up to 4% of global revenue)
Reputation Damage from data breaches or AML violations
Operational Disruption due to regulatory audits and system reworks
A compliance-driven development approach ensures that regulations are embedded into the core architecture of banking systems, rather than being retrofitted later at high cost.
When building a next-gen core banking system, compliance must cover multiple regions and standards:
GDPR (Europe): Data privacy, consent management, and customer data portability.
PCI DSS: Securing credit/debit card transactions and payment systems.
AML/KYC Regulations: Automating suspicious activity monitoring and verifying customer identities.
Basel III/IV: Risk management and capital adequacy compliance.
SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley, USA): Financial reporting and audit transparency.
Local Regulatory Frameworks: RBI (India), FCA (UK), MAS (Singapore), etc.
