Investment & capital markets
Platforms handling instruments, transactions, reporting and participant access, led by Arqthos.
Financial Platforms
Secure onboarding, workflow and portals — with sector depth from Arqthos.
Softiv provides the product engineering, design, QA and delivery capability. For regulated and capital-markets contexts, sector positioning and solution strategy are led by our partner Arqthos Technologies.
Overview
Engineering from Softiv. Sector leadership from Arqthos.
Financial platforms carry obligations that are specific to the institution, the jurisdiction and the product. Getting that context right matters more than engineering speed, and it is not something a delivery team should improvise.
That is why this sector is handled as a partnership. Arqthos Technologies leads sector positioning, consulting, client engagement and solution strategy for regulated and operationally complex financial contexts. Softiv provides product engineering, design, QA, DevOps, mobile and AI/ML capability.
For Softiv's own North America programme, financial services is deliberately not the leading vertical — healthcare is. This page exists because financial platform work is real capability, not because it is where we point regional messaging.
Who we build for
The teams inside this sector we work with.
02
Financial services operations
Institutions with onboarding, approval, servicing and reporting workflows that span teams.
03
Fintech ventures
Product companies building financial propositions who need engineering depth alongside domain guidance.
04
Corporate finance functions
Teams needing secure internal workflow, approvals and reporting rather than a market-facing product.
Challenges
Common friction, and what we do about it.
Every engagement starts from a specific operational problem rather than a product we are trying to place.
Onboarding involves documents, checks and multiple approvals
Structured digital onboarding with document capture, verification steps, routing, status and a complete audit trail.
Approval chains are managed by email
Role-aware workflow with delegation, escalation, time-stamped decisions and audit-aware history.
Participants have no self-service visibility
Secure portals with permissions modelled around the relationship and every access logged.
Reporting is assembled manually each period
Reporting built from the operational data with defined ownership and a reproducible process.
Requirements are as much regulatory as functional
Arqthos leads on sector and regulatory context; Softiv engineers to the resulting specification.
What we build
Capabilities that fit this sector.
01
Secure onboarding
Digital intake, document capture, verification steps, routing and status visibility.

Workflow & approvals
Role-aware tasks, delegation, escalation and audit-aware activity history.
03
Participant portals
Permissioned self-service access to positions, documents, reporting and communication.

Platform capability delivered through Arqthos-led sector engagement.
05
Integration
Connections to core systems, data providers and reporting infrastructure.
06
Security-aware delivery
Access control, encryption in transit and at rest, logging, and dependency management as delivery standards.
Artificial intelligence
Where AI earns its place here.
Applications with a credible return in this sector — each one wrapped in human review, defined data boundaries and an audit trail.
Document processing
Extraction and classification across onboarding documentation, with confidence thresholds and mandatory human review on anything material.
Knowledge assistants
Grounded internal assistants over policy and procedure documentation, citing sources, with permission-aware retrieval.
Anomaly surfacing
Pattern analysis to prioritise items for human review — supporting a reviewer's judgement, never replacing it.
Example architecture
What a typical engagement looks like.
Onboarding, workflow and permissioned participant access
A secure onboarding journey feeding a role-aware workflow engine: document capture, verification steps, approval chains with delegation, and a complete audit trail of who did what and when. A permissioned participant portal exposes the appropriate slice of that data, and integration connects the core systems and reporting infrastructure that hold the record.

Questions
Straight answers.
No. We build to the controls and obligations your organization operates under, and we do not claim certification or regulatory approval on this website. Those claims belong to a specific implementation and the organizational controls behind it.
Arqthos leads sector positioning, consulting, client engagement and solution strategy for regulated and complex financial contexts. Softiv provides product engineering, design, QA, DevOps, mobile and AI/ML implementation capability.
For general financial operations work — internal workflow, portals, integration — yes. Where the engagement needs regulated-sector and capital-markets depth, Arqthos leads and we would rather route it properly than stretch.
Access control, encryption in transit and at rest, logging, dependency management and least-privilege administration are delivery standards. Specific control requirements are agreed during scoping rather than assumed.
Regulated, complex, or somewhere in between?
