Case Study: Yobota achieves modern, secure core banking and faster time-to-market with Heroku

Yobota Fuels Fintech Innovation with a Suite of Core Banking Services on Heroku

Yobota, founded in 2016, builds a modern core‑banking platform to replace decades‑old legacy systems that make payments slow, fragile, and costly. As a small startup entering a heavily regulated market, it faced the challenge of delivering secure, auditable core banking services quickly while avoiding the expense and risk of running and proving compliance for its own infrastructure.

By using Heroku’s managed platform, add‑ons (Postgres, Redis, logging, QuotaGuard), and Heroku Pipelines with SSO and fine‑grained permissions, Yobota automated testing, audit trails, and operational security instead of building them in‑house. The outcome was a banking‑grade, compliant platform trusted by customers like Chetwood Financial, faster time‑to‑market, and the ability for a lean engineering team to deliver innovative products without a dedicated DevOps organization.
