Introduction

A well-established USA subprime lender wanted to modernize their loan origination platform and blueprint a standardized architecture. Goals included a reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and improve Scalability and Availability. Ability to componentize platform to integrate quickly with partners.

• Create Micro Services architecture from the Monolithic current state

• Minimize impact on downstream applications due to modernization

• Multi-Tier security to manage data and partner relationship

• Modernization and migration of 4 applications using Microservices Architecture

• Re-engineered to handle 10X volume with scalability and availability

• API Management tools for quicker third-party integration

• Automated their along with Infrastructure As Code

• Managing Business As Usual

• Data accuracy validation and data governance business critical in Fintech

Technological Framework

Why these Setup?

.NET Core on Linux provides a lightweight, high-performance runtime for microservices, while MuleSoft API Management enables rapid, secure third-party integrations and tiered access control at scale.

Why this Setup?

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Kubernetes ensures consistent, repeatable deployments across environments enabling 10X volume capacity from day one and reducing manual infrastructure overhead.

Why this Setup?

A standardised API gateway layer abstracts partner-specific integration complexity, enabling new lending partners to be onboarded 4X faster without impacting core platform stability.

Takeaway

Zapcom modernised a legacy monolithic loan origination platform into a scalable microservices architecture achieving 35% optimised orchestration costs and enabling 4X faster partner integration for a leading USA subprime lender.
