Solarisbank becomes first bank in Germany to fully migrate to the cloud

Berlin – 30.11.2020. Solarisbank AG, Europe's leading Banking-as-a-Service platform, today announced that it has successfully migrated all of its core banking systems, digital products, and databases to AWS, making it the first bank in Germany to fully migrate to the cloud. The migration from the on-premise datacenter to the AWS cloud was conducted within one year and completed in November.

Solarisbank lifts the technological and regulatory barriers for its business partners to offer financial services quickly and seamlessly by combining the product range within its full German banking license with an API-based banking infrastructure. The cloud migration is a key part of Solarisbank's strategy of building a product and tech platform that ensures the best possible conditions for scale and automation, in order to accommodate the growing customer bases of its partners.

Solarisbank selected AWS as a strategic cloud provider to benefit from its global infrastructure and comprehensive set of cloud services. The security, high performance, and reliability of AWS gives Solarisbank the ability to build and run innovative products at scale.

Solarisbank is a tech company at heart. By migrating our entire infrastructure to AWS, we have equipped ourselves to create exceptional banking experiences for our partners and paved the way for our European expansion. With the shift to a cloud-first mentality, we have also become nimbler in our product development. I am proud of the team for completing the migration so swiftly and without any downtime or impact to our customers. Hima Mandali, CTO of Solarisbank

As part of the strategy of going all-in with AWS and creating a cloud fluent organization, Solarisbank supports the entire tech team to educate themselves further and get certified by AWS. Just recently, Solarisbank also became the first bank in Germany to become an AWS Advanced Technology Partner. The status establishes Solarisbank as a designated provider in the tech community and opens up opportunities for strategic partnerships within the AWS partner network.
