Most consultants hand you a roadmap and leave. We’ve built and launched real banking products โ and we know exactly where the bodies are buried.
Deep production partnerships with Thought Machine and SaaScada mean we don’t learn on your time or your budget.
Our architects own the outcome from day one to post-launch. No bait-and-switch. No juniors left holding the wheel.

Your teams start delivering in weeks, not months. Pipelines, observability, smart contract components,
We’ve already done what takes others months to figure out. Payments, KYC, AML, authentication, notifications: pre-built, pre-integrated, and proven across live banking environments. Opinionated on technology. Flexible on vendors.
Every smart contract pattern, integration decision, and architectural call from our live banking projects lives inside Keystone. Your team starts from proven, not zero. When we’re done, every last piece of it is permanently yours.

We’ll help you work out what it needs.
We work best with regional and tier 2 banks, regulated neo-banks, and fintechs that operate in or are entering regulated markets. We’re not a good fit for early-stage startups without regulatory exposure or for institutions wanting a low-cost offshore dev shop.
We work with everyone from challenger banks launching from scratch, to regional and tier-2 banks modernising legacy cores, to innovation teams within large financial institutions building new digital and AI-powered products.
Whether you’re building a new bank or transforming an existing one, we tailor our approach to your stage and complexity.
Yes, we have recently worked on highly regulated projects in the UK, EU, and Asia.
Our Acceleration Framework is an opinionated integration framework built from experience on four live banking projects. Before your project starts, the hard technical decisions are already made, giving your team a running start and reducing the risk of delays or costly mistakes.
In practice, this means:
We talk to banks and fintechs in the early stages of their strategic planning, whether it’s transformation or a new bank build. We also work with clients in the early stages of their project, where they need a new direction or more in depth tech partner.
Two things: domain depth and delivery ownership.
Unlike large consultancies, we don’t hand you a strategy deck and step away: we build and operate the systems ourselves.ย
Unlike generalist agencies, our entire track record is in regulated financial services. Our teams have delivered live core banking implementations, real migrations, and production-grade fintech platforms. You get senior engineers and architects who’ve already seen what breaks, embedded as a true long-term partner.
Compliance is treated as a delivery workstream, not an afterthought. We bring regulatory considerations into the architecture phase from day one โ covering AML, KYC, DORA, and jurisdiction-specific requirements relevant to your market. Our teams have delivered live projects in the UK, EU, and Asia, so we understand what regulators expect in practice, not just on paper.
Vacuumlabs is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. Security and data privacy requirements are built into our engineering standards, not bolted on at the end. For each project, we align to the client’s regulatory environment and ensure that infrastructure, access controls, and data handling meet the relevant standards before anything goes to production.
We start with an honest conversation โ no sales pitch, no commitments. If there’s a fit, we move into a structured discovery phase where we align on your architecture, constraints, and delivery goals. From there, we bring in the right team and hit the ground running using our pre-validated delivery foundation, so the first weeks are spent on your product, not on setup.
We build risk management into the programme structure from the start โ sequencing integration decisions early, identifying critical path dependencies, and making sure compliance and legal are in the room before architecture is locked. If timelines shift, we have a named person with authority to make that call. We don’t manage risk by committee.
