“Bugni work at a pace that's basically unprecedented in my experience. They also bring a level of technical expertise and domain knowledge that's exceptional.”
List Screening Platform — published TechPros interview
The existing screening platform had become an operational bottleneck with limited transparency and slow change cycles. Bugni Labs delivered a modular, API-based screening service with event-driven workflows in months — setting a new expectation for how the bank modernises.
Impact
Delivered a modular, API-based screening service with event-driven workflows in months — setting a new expectation for how the bank modernises.
Context
The existing screening platform had become an operational bottleneck, with limited transparency and slow change cycles.
Value Delivered
Modular, API-based screening service
Screening re-architected as versioned APIs with explicit SLAs, enabling downstream systems to integrate via stable contracts while the platform evolved underneath.
Event-driven workflow & enrichment
Asynchronous event flows replaced synchronous batch processes, enabling real-time enrichment and reducing end-to-end screening latency.
Operational observability uplift
Built-in dashboards for hit rates, timing, error patterns and manual review loops — giving risk, operations and technology a shared view.
Dual-running migration strategy
Side-by-side integration with automated reconciliation and progressive traffic shifting to de-risk migration from legacy screening engines.
Platform patterns now used across brands
The screening platform patterns became the reference for how the bank modernises other capabilities across its multi-brand estate.
What They Said
“Bugni work at a pace that's basically unprecedented in my experience. They also bring a level of technical expertise and domain knowledge that's exceptional.”
“Together, they form a highly functioning, highly mobile team that can achieve an enormous amount in very little time.”
“Despite being very tightly tied to that deadline, we somehow hit it despite multiple re-prioritisations.”
