Go deeper with GlobalData
As part of the collaboration, PecunPay hopes to accelerate innovation and build new apps and services on the IBM cloud. IBM will also manage PecunPay’s technology infrastructure to help the start-up deliver services to its client base.
Antonio Garcia, PecunPay’s CEO, said: “We are excited to base our core applications on a Red Hat platform, that supports a container architecture managed by IBM Services. We believe this will give us the technology support our business needs. It’s the kind of business where you can’t afford a failure of the system.”
Mobile usage pushing demand
Emilio Iglesias, IBM Services expert, said: “Taking a container-first approach that utilises the Red Hat OpenShift platform for PecunPay’s architecture, helps lay the foundation for fintechs to have a technology infrastructure that can keep up with the company’s rapid expansion goals.
“Once the on-premise IT infrastructure is containerised, PecunPay will be able to more quickly transition to any other environment that the client requires.”
