A new digital banking experience for AMINA

AMINA combines deep banking expertise with cutting-edge digital innovation. As a Swiss-regulated institution, it is a trusted partner in the rapidly evolving digital finance landscape.

Today, AMINA serves professional and institutional clients worldwide with a comprehensive suite of banking services, including custody, trading, lending, payments and more. 

To further enhance platform performance and user experience, AMINA is working with S-PRO to build a next-generation digital banking architecture. This secure, scalable, API-driven framework streamlines core infrastructure, integrates third-party services seamlessly, and enables faster innovation across AMINA’s ecosystem.

To achieve this enhanced delivery model, AMINA needed a partner with deep banking platform expertise and a collaborative, hands-on approach. S-PRO delivered on both, bringing a proven track record with more than five complex banking solutions delivered in recent years.

We proposed a step-by-step strategy, starting small and co-developing the target architecture in close collaboration with AMINA’s team. Together, we mapped out the existing landscape, analysing their existing infrastructure, third-party integrations, and aligned the design with AMINA’s unique business requirements.

Rather than rebuilding everything from the ground up, we leveraged key elements of AMINA’s existing data models and infrastructure while reimagining the overall architecture and defining new business domains to support scalability and innovation.

Solution Architecture 

A collaborative design process where both teams made decisions together, to define a robust and future-ready architecture. The solution integrates AMINA’s core systems, supports evolving business needs, and reduces reliance on external services. 

Backend Development 

Building an API-driven middle layer, structured into business domains that power client-facing channels, while orchestrating and integrating with AMINA’s core banking infrastructure and third-party services. 

A key component of the middle layer was the backend abstraction data layer, which reduces external dependencies, improves performance, and streamlines data flow between different components.

Business Analysis 

A strategic bridge between AMINA’s business goals and technical implementation, ensuring requirements were accurately translated into actionable technical plans.

The first internal release went live in May, marking an important step forward. Since then, the platform has been refined, optimized, and aligned with the roadmap for upcoming launches.

What did S-PRO build for AMINA?

S-PRO worked with AMINA, a Swiss bank regulated by FINMA, to modernise its digital banking. Together with the bank’s team we designed the target architecture, built an API-driven middle layer organised into business domains with a backend abstraction data layer, and connected AMINA’s web and mobile channels to its core banking system and third-party services.

Did AMINA have to rebuild its systems from scratch?

No. S-PRO proposed a step-by-step strategy: start small, map the existing infrastructure and third-party integrations, keep key elements of AMINA’s data models and infrastructure, and reimagine the overall architecture around new business domains. This reduced the bank’s reliance on external services without a full rebuild.

What did the API middleware change?

AMINA’s digital banking is now integrated with the bank’s core banking system through one API middleware layer, and application responses became three times faster. After the first internal release the platform has been refined and aligned with the roadmap for upcoming launches.

How does a similar project start with S-PRO?

Most banking projects start with a design thinking pilot that maps the existing systems and agrees the target architecture. S-PRO’s design thinking pilot starts from USD 20k and takes 2–4 weeks.
