About the vacancy

Our client is a British bank, one of the largest finance companies in the world. It was founded three centuries ago, and today its assets are estimated at trillions of US dollars.

Its technical support has become more complex and expensive due to the expansion of their product line and growth of their customer base. The development of technologies has led to a growth in customer expectations for banking apps as well as the automatization of bank account interactions. Therefore, it became clear that all the IT systems of our client needed an upgrade. Now they have been improved in accordance with modern technologies, and the user interfaces of the apps have been modernized as well; the DataArt team is now working on closer integration of the apps. An incredible amount of paperwork with which the specialists of the bank are engaged is being automated and transferred to an electronic format.

DataArt's experts partnered with developers on the client's side to create new banking apps and upgrade the old ones. In particular, there is a customer client portal project, which aggregates all user information and allows users to switch easily between the various banking products. Also, we are developing a system for storing client data and applications designed for easy car loans, issuing of bank cards, and account registration. Currently, there are also some other products at the design stage.
