Platform for cognitive banking

THE BANKING PLATFORM BUILT FOR

Intelligence, scale and control.

One platform. Not stitched systems.

The Architecture Of Clayfin Platform

A layered platform model that keeps customer experience, enterprise integration,
data intelligence and banking operations working as one system.

LAYER 01

Experience Layer

Build once. Deliver across every banking channel with reusable experience assets and embedded digital security controls.


Applications

Mobile banking for iOS, Android and Huawei

Responsive web banking on modern front-end stacks

Journeys across WhatsApp, IVR, branch and assisted channels

Security built in

MFA, OTP, biometrics and secure session controls

SSL pinning, SIM binding and geolocation checks

Jailbreak, RAT, VPN and screen recording detection

Foundation

Shared components, utilities and UI libraries

Themes, design tokens and configuration stores

Regional extensions and feature flags

Delivery

Cross-platform deployment-ready builds

Reusable navigation and state management

Consistent experience across channels and markets

LAYER 02

API & Service Layer

Standardised service contracts and orchestration that keep every banking journey connected to core, channels and partners.


Service mesh

RESTful and GraphQL service catalogues

Event-driven orchestration via webhooks

gRPC and high-throughput streaming

Governance

Rate limiting, throttling and quotas

Fine-grained authorisation per endpoint

Audit-grade request and response logging

Contracts

OpenAPI-first design

Versioned, backwards-compatible endpoints

Mock servers for parallel front-end work

Developer experience

Self-serve API portal with live docs

Generated SDKs for client teams

Sandboxed environments for partners

LAYER 03

Integration Layer

Event-driven plumbing that moves data and instructions between cores, channels, partners and analytics — without point-to-point sprawl.


Cores

Real-time hooks into core banking systems

Lending, deposits and cards platforms

Legacy host adapters with circuit breakers

Partners

Credit bureaus and KYC providers

Fintech ecosystem and BaaS partners

Government and regulator interfaces

Networks

Card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Rupay)

UPI, IMPS, NEFT, RTGS

SWIFT and correspondent banking

Analytics

Stream to data warehouse and lake

CDC for source-of-truth replication

Event enrichment for downstream models

LAYER 04

Cognitive Layer

Data, analytics and AI working as one decision layer — owned by the bank, run on-prem.


On-prem models

LLMs hosted inside the bank perimeter

NLU / RASA for conversational flows

ONNX runtime for inference at the edge

Data plane

Schema validation and data cleansing

CDC and incremental loading

Audit and lineage for every record

Signals

Categorisation, forecasting and anomaly detection

Recommendation engines for cross-sell

Nudges and next-best-action ranking

Outcomes

Approve / decline with explainability

Risk scoring with reason codes

Personalisation across every journey

LAYER 05

DevOps & Security

Continuous deployment, observability and security baked into the platform from day one.


CI / CD

Trunk-based development with GitOps

Blue-green and canary releases

Automated rollbacks on SLO breach

Security

Zero-trust networking inside the platform

Secret rotation and HSM-backed keys

Continuous vulnerability scanning

Observability

Distributed tracing across services

Metrics, logs and audit trails unified

Real-time alerts wired to on-call

Compliance

RBI, SEBI, GDPR-ready by default

Immutable audit logs

Back-up, restore and disaster recovery

Clayfin Cognitive Platform — Layer Flow

Domain-agnostic · On-prem · No third-party calls · GPU / CPU hybrid

What This Architecture Enables

Clayfin platform gives banks a more controlled way to build, connect and evolve digital banking experiences.

Faster rollout of
journeys

Reusable layers reduce rebuild effort across markets, products and channels.

Consistent
customer
experience

Shared components and architecture patterns help journeys feel unified.

Controlled
integration

Data, analytics and AI operate inside the bank’s governance boundary.

Secure
operations at
scale

Security, observability and delivery controls support continuous evolution.

Designed For Banks That Need Both Speed And Control

Clayfin platform keeps product agility, architecture
governance and operational resilience close to the
platform instead of scattering them across
disconnected tools.

Progressive technical depth

Business buyers can scan the platform quickly while
technical teams can explore layer-level capabilities.

Architecture visibility

A clear layered model helps technology, product and
operations teams work from the same platform map.

Diagram-led storytelling

Each diagram answers a specific question instead of
becoming a crowded enterprise architecture chart.

Clayfin Platform Powers 200+ Projects Globally Across 7 Countries

Large PSU bank needed to modernize retail and corporate banking without replacing core banking system
