Waiting on vendorYour team sets it up

Every new product is a vendor project.

A new loan or savings product means a quote, a queue and billable hours from your core provider. Months go by before customers see it.

High riskStart beside your core

Replacing the core feels like betting the bank.

Big migrations take years, cost a fortune and put daily operations at risk, so they keep getting postponed.

ManualOne back office

Your teams live in spreadsheets.

Credit, collections and accounting each keep their own version of the numbers, and closing the month takes days.

No traceLogged for audit

Proving who changed what is hard.

When the regulator asks who approved a change and when, the answer lives in emails and people's memory.

Cowally was built to fix exactly these four problems.

Two ways to start, one platform

Either way, you can begin with one product, one customer app or one process, and add the rest when it makes sense.

Your team moves fast, inside clear limits

Speed is safe because the limits are built in. Here is what your business team can change on its own, with approvals, and what still goes through technical review.

Members

Who
A financial institution with more than 3 million members.
Starting point
A core system about 30 years old. Internally, the new loan products were estimated at about two years and a far larger budget.
What we did
Cowally ran alongside the existing core: customer apps, back office and the new loan products, connected to the system that keeps the existing accounts. The Cowally core was then put in place beside it.
Result
7 new loan products live in about 4 months, at roughly a tenth of the expected cost.
What comes next
A full move to the Cowally core, product by product.

Built the way your architects would build it

For the people who have to say yes to the architecture. IT stays in charge of architecture, integrations and security; the business stops filing a ticket for every product change.

Modular core. Customers, products, the loan book, rules and risk, and accounting run as separate modules. Each can be updated, switched off or replaced without stopping the rest.

Changes that don't break other parts. Modules talk through stable, versioned connections and react to events, so a change in one place does not ripple into another.

Documented APIs to connect your current core, accounting, data platforms and providers.

No single point of failure. If one module goes down, the rest keep running.

Availability. A 99.5% uptime commitment, backups across data centers by default, and multi-region setups on request.

Private connectivity to your network, with fixed IP addresses for your access lists.

Monitoring of every transaction, with alerts before customers notice a problem.

Your choice of hosting. Hosted by us, or installed on your own servers.

Led by BIAN-certified architects, following the banking industry's open standard for modular design.

Questions we hear from banks, lenders and fintechs

No. Start alongside it and move products over only when you're ready, or run Cowally as your core from day one.

Yes. You can start with loans only (applications, payouts, the loan book and collections) and add savings or payments later if you need them.

It can take as little as a month. The timeline depends on whether you migrate existing data, how available your technology team is, and how much you launch at once.

Yes. Each part works on its own, so you can start small and add the rest later.

Products, workflows, approval rules, reports, customer notifications, and roles and permissions, all with approvals. New provider connections and regulatory changes go through technical review.

Either. Hosted by us includes updates (regulatory ones too), monitoring, support and disaster recovery. On your servers, you get licensed modules, documentation and support according to your plan.

With institutions in the United States, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Panama. Colombian regulatory reports are built in; other countries' requirements are set up during implementation.

Yes, when your regulation requires it.

AI services are switched on per client and billed by use.
