Overview

Kapital Bank

Kapital Bank is Azerbaijan's oldest commercial bank, established in 1874 and serving over 5M individuals and 22K corporate customers with $3.5B+ in assets.

After launching their customer-facing iOS and Android applications with us in 2016, they moved maintenance in-house and eventually returned when escalating infrastructure complexity and interdepartmental communication breakdowns started to delay updates and degrade customer experience.

The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

After moving maintenance of the customer-facing apps in-house, Kapital Bank encountered growing technical debt and skill gaps that created operational bottlenecks.

The bank needed more than maintenance fixes — comprehensive process modernization, workforce development, and a sustainable workflow enabling rapid feature evolution while maintaining service reliability for millions of users.

Information silos between departments were delaying releases and degrading the customer experience.

Reliability and scalability are critical for us. They approached the engagement with a strong technical foundation and a clear process, which gave us confidence as the work progressed. The solution has held up under real-world demand.

The Solution

What we built.

We embedded a leadership team — project manager and tech leads — to audit existing workflows, introduce Agile methodologies, and eliminate the operational silos that had formed across departments.

Alongside the process work, we augmented the internal team with senior iOS and Android engineers and executed a full codebase migration off legacy languages onto modern, maintainable stacks.

Team Augmentation

Embedded 5 iOS developers, 3 Android developers, and 1 QA engineer alongside the in-house team with clear ownership and escalation paths.

Platform Migration

Migrated Android from Java to Kotlin and iOS from Objective-C to Swift. Redesigned app architecture and UI to enable rapid feature development.

Infrastructure Audit

Four-week comprehensive assessment of code quality, architecture, and network resilience to ensure safe scalability and produce a long-term risk-mitigation roadmap.
