We could in theory bank other banks, but that's not our focus. Our current customers are mostly regulated non-bank financial institutions, E-Money and Client money. As an American analogy, think Square Cash, Venmo, Paypal. Longer term

It is a tall order, but but it's doable. The most important thing is to reduce the surface area of your application. Our business logic is almost entirely pure. The 'procs' have no side effects, except for things that happen
