The problems that bring banking teams to HST
- Onboarding delays cost business
- Reconciliation eats the working day
- Support consumes the roadmap
- Manual workflows don’t scale
Bring us the stalled onboarding flow, reconciliation backlog or integration that keeps failing. We trace the problem, agree the first outcome and build the fix—with the engineering support to keep it working.
For the teams that have to get it right
Specialist & institutional banks
Digital asset operators
Onboarding & compliance teams
CIOs & technology leaders
COOs & operations leaders
Bring us the problem. We’ll build the fix.
Connect the systems. Remove the manual hand-offs.
Your portal, CRM, screening provider, core banking and custody systems each hold part of the picture. Operations has to bridge the gaps when customer records, transaction states and balances disagree.
HST builds the integration and operational software that brings those records together. Shared identifiers, validated events and clear exception queues give your team a reliable view of what needs action.
We build, run and evolve the platform with you. The same delivery team develops the next capability, supports production and carries the knowledge forward. Fewer handovers. Less relearning. A roadmap that keeps moving.
Working systems for banking operations
Onboarding that moves
- Connect portals, CRM and screening providers

Built for regulated operations. Backed by security and business continuity controls.
AI embedded in banking operations. Faster delivery. Less manual work.
We combine domain expertise, AI and reusable engineering to accelerate delivery and reduce the effort of running your operation. Embed assistance where people gather evidence, investigate breaks and prepare decisions—with approved data, validation and human review built in.
Accelerate client reviews
- Assemble customer information, flag missing evidence and prepare source-linked review summaries within onboarding and periodic reviews.
- Reduce reading, rekeying and repeat checks. Keep reviewers focused on exceptions and approvals.
Cut investigation effort
- Bring together transaction histories, screening results and reconciliation evidence. Use AI to group related issues and suggest next steps for review.
- Reduce searching and context switching. Measure time to resolution and effort per exception.
Ship improvements faster
- Use AI-assisted engineering for mappings, code, tests, documentation and release analysis, backed by senior engineering review.
- Shorten the path from backlog to working software. Track delivery time, rework and operating cost.

Frequently asked questions
What does HST build for banking and digital asset teams?
Onboarding portals, screening integrations, operational software, reconciliation pipelines, data platforms and cloud infrastructure. We work around your existing systems and provide the delivery and support capacity to keep improving them.
For fund managers, ManCos and administrators, explore our fund operations and data engineering services.
Can you fix one workflow without replacing our platforms?
Yes. Start with one onboarding bottleneck, reconciliation process or failing integration. We agree the outcome and acceptance criteria, then connect or improve the relevant systems. Where migration is needed, we phase the change around the live business.
What work are you doing with iRace Digital?
Our active work spans Power Pages onboarding, Dynamics and Dataverse workflows, digital asset services, DFNS integration, end-of-day reconciliation, DevOps and production support. Data lake and .NET conversion workstreams extend that platform modernisation. The linked case studies explain the scope; individual capabilities are at different delivery stages.
How do you embed AI into banking operations?
We scope AI around measurable tasks: preparing customer reviews, gathering investigation evidence, summarising exceptions and accelerating engineering. Outputs are validated against approved sources, with access controls and human approval for consequential decisions. We measure effort, turnaround and rework against the existing process.
Who handles regulatory decisions and production support?
Your compliance and business specialists define regulatory interpretations and approvals. HST implements the agreed data, integrations and controls. Support hours, incident ownership and recovery responsibilities are agreed in the engagement; 24/7 cover is a separate scope.
What does it cost, and can we start small?
Yes. Small, defined fixes are welcome. Published engineering packages start at €5–6k/month; the cards show the standard inclusions. Specialist banking, custody and support requirements are quoted for the scope, with cloud and vendor licences additional. We agree the first deliverable and target start, subject to availability and access.
