Business Overview

Synpulse was founded in Zurich in 1996 with a vision to become the trusted transformation partner for financial institutions worldwide. Today, we are a 1000+ strong global firm with 16 offices spanning Switzerland, Germany, the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK and more. From day one, our mission has been to shape sustainable and scalable financial ecosystems through a fusion of strategic thinking and technological execution.

Our growth reflects both the evolving needs of the financial sector and our commitment to staying ahead of those changes. We have led clients through industry-defining initiatives: digital onboarding, embedded finance, cloud-based compliance platforms and ESG-driven operating model redesigns.

To further support our clients in the age of digital acceleration, we launched Synpulse8, our dedicated tech powerhouse that brings together engineers, developers, designers and data specialists under one roof. Synpulse8 bridges the gap between strategic consulting and technology delivery, enabling us to prototype, build, and scale digital solutions faster and more efficiently—while remaining closely aligned to our clients’ strategic vision. It ensures that innovation is not only conceptualised but realised with speed, agility and measurable impact.

At the heart of Synpulse is our people. We are a diverse team of consultants, engineers and subject matter experts united by a shared goal: delivering meaningful impact. Our culture is entrepreneurial and inclusive and we value initiative, foster continuous learning and empower individuals at all levels to shape the future of our firm and our clients. We do not believe in off-the-shelf solutions; we co-create with clients to ensure solutions reflect their vision and are rooted in practical execution. With deep domain expertise in wealth management, retail and commercial banking and insurance, we approach every engagement with a nuanced understanding of regulatory complexity, client expectations and market dynamics.

Synpulse is committed to being more than a consulting firm – we aim to be a long-term transformation partner. Whether driving cost efficiency, building digital-native business models or preparing clients for emerging technology trends, we operate with a clear purpose: to make financial services more effective, inclusive and future-ready.

Customers

Our clients span the full spectrum of the financial services industry, including global universal banks, private banks, wealth managers, retail and commercial banks, and insurance companies. While many of our clients are household names operating across multiple markets, we also work closely with regional champions, challenger banks and emerging fintechs who are redefining the future of finance.

We support clients at various stages of their transformation journey: from strategic visioning to execution and post-implementation optimisation. Our collaborative model means we embed with client teams to ensure knowledge transfer, alignment and sustainable change. Whether modernising legacy infrastructure, deploying advisory platforms, or digitising onboarding and KYC processes, our work is grounded in measurable impact and speed to value.

We place a strong emphasis on long-term relationships. Many of our client partnerships span multiple years and multiple business lines, built on a foundation of trust, transparency, and consistent delivery. Our clients value our ability to combine deep industry knowledge with cross-functional capabilities in technology, operations, and change management.

Our approach is client-first: we tailor every engagement to business priorities, market context, and internal capabilities. We are especially well-regarded for our ability to translate complex regulatory or technical concepts into actionable strategies and intuitive digital experiences. In doing so, we help our clients remain competitive, compliant, and connected to their end users.

Partners

At Synpulse, we maintain a strong and strategic partner ecosystem that enhances our ability to deliver end-to-end solutions across the financial services value chain. Our partnerships span core banking platforms, cloud infrastructure providers, low-code workflow tools, digital experience platforms and data and analytics providers. This enables us to design and implement tailored, scalable solutions for clients around the world.

We work closely with leading core banking and wealth platforms, allowing us to streamline client onboarding, portfolio management, and back-office operations. These partnerships ensure we stay deeply embedded in the systems that power modern financial institutions.

In the area of cloud and infrastructure, we partner with global providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate secure, scalable digital transformation initiatives. For clients exploring next-generation data and analytics, our collaborations with firms such as Palantir and BlackRock empower smarter decision-making and advanced risk insights. We also team up with low-code and workflow orchestration platforms like Flowable and Backbase.
