For businesses already operating financial-services software
Replace fragmented or restrictive financial-services software with a mature platform covering accounts, payments, cards, digital assets, compliance and administration.
SAMFCore provides a structured migration path for businesses replacing an existing banking, fintech, payments or digital-asset platform.
Already running another platform?
Most platform migrations start with the same pressures. SAMFCore is designed to address them directly.
Scope
A fintech platform migration can cover some or all of these functional areas, depending on the deployment.
KYC, KYB, customer profiles and document workflows.
Platform featuresMulti-currency accounts, IBAN workflows, deposits, withdrawals and transfers.
Platform overviewPhysical and virtual card workflows, activation, PIN/ePIN, freeze/unfreeze and top-ups.
Card issuing platformCrypto balances, wallet/account workflows, fiat/crypto exchange and digital-asset administration.
Crypto & digital assetsAML cases, transaction review, screening workflows, risk controls and audit trails.
Security & compliancePermissions, reporting, fees, notifications and operational controls.
Back-office featuresProcess
A structured, five-step approach to replacing a banking platform with SAMFCore.
Review the existing platform’s functionality, data, providers, integrations and authentication environment.
Determine the appropriate migration model, including direct cutover, staged migration or progressive cutover.
Configure SAMFCore and prepare the migration or synchronization of required customer accounts, balances, historical data, transaction records and integrations.
Where technically appropriate, move selected users or user groups to SAMFCore while the remaining customer base continues operating on the legacy platform.
Complete the transition after the new environment has been validated and the remaining users are ready to migrate.
Depending on the source system and available export or API access, migration planning can cover customer records, account data, balances, transaction history, KYC/KYB information, documents and other operational data required for the new deployment, where technically feasible.
Migration scope, timing, data-transfer requirements, authentication continuity and parallel-operation options depend on the customer’s existing platform, provider stack, data structure and technical environment.
Migration method
Move users gradually instead of migrating the entire business at once.
SAMFCore migrations can be designed around a progressive cutover approach where technically suitable.
Instead of moving the entire customer base in a single migration event, the existing platform can remain operational while selected users are transitioned to the new SAMFCore environment in controlled stages.
Customer accounts, balances, historical data, transaction records and other required information can be migrated or synchronized according to the agreed migration architecture before individual users are moved.
Where the existing authentication environment permits it, users may be able to retain their existing login credentials during the transition.
Once a user is migrated, the login and routing flow can direct that user to the new SAMFCore environment, while users who have not yet migrated continue operating on the legacy platform.
This creates a bridge between the legacy platform and SAMFCore, allowing the migration to be completed progressively rather than requiring a single large-scale shutdown and cutover. Integration design is covered in our API & integration architecture.

Migrated users

Keep the existing platform operational while migration progresses.
Transition selected users or groups rather than the full customer base at once.
Monitor the new environment before expanding the migration.
Where technically feasible, legacy and SAMFCore environments can operate during the transition period.
Avoid relying solely on a single all-at-once migration event.
Where the existing system permits, authentication and user access can be designed to remain familiar during the transition.
Providers
SAMFCore is designed to work with customer-selected external providers. Where technically and commercially practical, a migration may allow existing banking, payment, card, KYC/KYB, AML, custody, liquidity or exchange providers to remain part of the new deployment.
Provider retention is subject to assessment of each provider’s integration options and commercial terms.
For qualified projects
Qualified businesses replacing an existing financial-services software platform may be eligible for a SAMFCore migration incentive.
For qualified projects, some or all of the migration work may be included as part of the SAMFCore commercial proposal. This can include migration planning, data-migration support, provider-retention analysis, integration work and staged or progressive cutover, depending on the existing platform and project scope, subject to technical assessment.
Depending on the project, available support may include:
If you are still under contract with your current provider, ask us about available transition options.
Migration support can also include planning for staged or progressive cutover where the existing platform architecture allows it.

Potentially. Where technically and commercially suitable, existing providers may be retained. Integration scope is reviewed during migration planning.
Yes, depending on the deployment. SAMFCore is modular and can be configured around the required functionality.
Data-migration requirements depend on the existing platform, available export formats, data quality and regulatory constraints. These requirements are assessed before implementation.
Not necessarily. Depending on the existing platform and technical architecture, the migration may use staged migration, parallel operation or progressive cutover rather than a single all-at-once transition.
Yes, where the existing platform and migration architecture permit it. A SAMFCore migration can be designed around a progressive cutover model in which selected users are moved in stages while the remaining users continue operating on the legacy platform until their migration is complete.
Qualified platform-replacement projects may be eligible for migration incentives, implementation credits or licence discounts.
Depending on the applicable licence and implementation model, customers may use their own technical team or appointed contractors to support their licensed deployment.
We can review your existing system, identify functional gaps and prepare a migration approach before you make a licensing decision.
