About Skaleet
Skaleet is a French fintech providing a modular, SaaS-based Core Banking Platform that allows banks, neobanks, payment institutions and corporates to launch and operate innovative financial services at a fraction of the cost and time required by legacy systems. The platform is built around a single conviction: financial institutions should spend their energy on their customers and their offers, not on maintaining ageing, monolithic IT cores.
Skaleet brings a 10-year implementation track record of deploying live banking operations in production across EMEA, one of the deepest in the next-generation core banking space. Under the leadership of CEO Martin Della Chiesa, the company mission is to empower financial institutions for perpetual evolution. Skaleet thesis is that banking technology has become a stay-awake issue for CEOs, and that modern institutions need a derisked fast-track lane to launch competitive products rather than another multi-year, monolithic re-platforming programme.
The challenges Skaleet has overcome are the same ones that have paralysed the core banking industry for decades. Migrating a regulated financial institution onto a new core is widely seen as the single most risky IT undertaking a bank can attempt, and most incumbents respond to that fear by freezing in place or committing to transformation programmes that span five to seven years. Skaleet has broken that pattern by combining a cloud-native, API-first architecture with a structured delivery model that brings new banks live in six to twelve months, and migrates maturing disruptors off third-party BaaS providers in five to nine months. Doing this while meeting the regulatory standards of tier-one European banks, passing ISO 27001, PCI DSS, PSD2, GDPR and DORA requirements, and maintaining 24/7 service continuity, has required a relentless engineering discipline that very few vendors in the market can match.
The platform is 100% API, modular, cloud-agnostic, real-time, and now MCP-compatible, letting institutions orchestrate best-of-breed partners and AI agents through a single backbone. It covers the full banking stack from customer management and KYC/KYB through to accounts, cards, payments, savings, credit, accounting and process automation, with new versions shipped every two months through continuous delivery.
Skaleet serves two families of clients through four repeatable delivery models. Traditional banks use Skaleet either to stand up greenfield digital or corporate banks, as a top-10 European banking group did to launch a pan-European deposit franchise across eight countries in eight months, or to exit legacy cores and rationalise their stack. A top-5 European banking group relied on Skaleet to launch a full-stack greenfield corporate bank in the Benelux in under twelve months, deployed on its private cloud with continuous delivery. Disruptors follow the same logic. Some use Skaleet to go live fast with a new regulated offering, others to migrate off third-party BaaS providers onto a Skaleet-powered SaaS or hybrid setup. Skaleet is the Core Banking engine behind the newly-created financial services subsidiary of one of Europe largest payroll and HR providers, which processes six million payslips every month across twenty-six countries, embedding payments and financial services at pan-European scale.
Skaleet has proved that credible European core banking alternatives exist outside the historic incumbents, giving tier-one banks a realistic route to modernise without committing to decade-long transformation programmes. Just as importantly, Skaleet has shown that disruptors do not have to stay trapped on BaaS providers once they mature, giving a generation of European fintechs a realistic path to internalise their banking stack, recover their margins and own their product roadmap.
