Innovation and AWS Cloud: How Unicred Scaled Its Card Processing

To lead in a highly competitive financial market, cooperatives need to go beyond basic efficiency, requiring strategic autonomy and real innovation capacity in their products.

Breaking free from the constraints of traditional infrastructure through cloud-native environments became the definitive path to delivering complex solutions with high profitability. By building its own processing system for more than 248,000 members, Unicred eliminated external dependencies and consolidated a secure, sovereign and highly scalable technology ecosystem.

In large-scale financial operations, reliance on legacy models and on-premises structures stifles innovation and raises operating costs. For Unicred, the main strategic obstacle was the need to gain full autonomy over its credit card product, ensuring a robust, secure and scalable technology base to serve its expanding member base.

The critical challenge was migrating and structuring a mission-critical operation in the cloud, ensuring real-time stability, high availability and strict compliance with financial industry standards.
