Could you briefly introduce A Finance?
We're a fintech startup founded in 2021. We run mobile simple payment and microloan services, and we've now surpassed ₩50 billion in cumulative transaction volume. We're growing quickly with a focus on the MZ generation.
What do you consider most important in IT infrastructure when running a financial service?
Security and stability, without question. Because we handle customers' financial data, not even a moment of downtime is acceptable. Hacking or a data breach is a matter of the company's survival. YourIT helped us put a financial-grade security framework in place.
What led you to decide on a cloud transition?
We started on-premises, but as our users grew rapidly we ran into scalability problems. Adopting the cloud wasn't easy because of financial regulations, but YourIT designed an architecture that meets the Financial Security Institute's guidelines, so the transition went smoothly.
Was there anything particularly helpful during the transition?
They helped us enormously when we were preparing for the Financial Services Commission's security review. They supported us thoroughly not only on the technical side but also with the documentation, so we passed the review on the first try.
What are you most satisfied with in YourIT's services?
Their incident response is really fast. When a problem occurs, they handle everything from root cause analysis to resolution very quickly. In financial services, losses accrue by the minute, so this kind of quick response is a huge help.
What are your future plans, and what do you hope for from YourIT?
We plan to expand our service areas next year. We're also preparing new financial products, and we'd like to expand our infrastructure together with YourIT as well. We hope you'll continue to be the reliable partner you are now.
