Have you ever wondered what makes a bank a 21st century bank? A small hint; it isn’t the ginormous rigid and extremely expensive mainframes, it isn’t the systems that have to shut down every night for maintenance, and it definitely isn’t the glued-by-hope hollowed out cores.
The list can go on and on. What a good 21st century bank needs is security, scalability, flexibility, availability, and adaptability. So, where do you get it all, nicely packed and with a bow on top at a low cost?
At Cybertonica we Trust in Transaction. We make systems to make trust and frictionless commerce safe and secure for businesses and consumers.

So we decided to collect stories from the people in our network and customers as well as their clients telling us how their e-commerce is going in this period – both the nightmares and the nice surprises.
We asked them to tell us about their online shopping experiences during the lockdown to paint a vivid picture for the merchants. From surprise champagne deliveries to account takeovers, we have some good stories lined up for you!

Sometimes a fintech company needs to build a new critical feature under time pressure, which can become a very stressful moment for the CTO and Head of Delivery. Thanks to their current development velocity and estimation of the work, they know there is no physical way to build that feature with the capacity they have available.
