Scott Logic was founded in 2005 by Gary Scott, who was Head of Fixed Income Analytics at Lehman Brothers. Since then, we have worked with eight of the ten biggest investment banks, three of the top five UK full-service banks, and a number of other capital markets firms.
Our extensive history in developing technology solutions for capital markets and investment banks makes us a reliable, high-quality partner. In an era of outsourcing and offshoring, we stand apart by providing permanent, UK-based consultants with hands-on experience of this complex market.
With an in-depth understanding of your industry’s strict regulations and demanding users, we can help you achieve results quickly and with minimal disruption. The types of projects we can support your business with include:
Develop user-friendly, customisable applications for traders and investors.
Build reliable, easy-to-use databases housing vast amounts of information.
Create interactive and accessible systems to analyse and report on data.
Build tools and workflows to meet stringent reporting requirements.
Engineer innovative ways for traders and investors to access information on the go.
Improve interactions with customers through intuitive technology like AI.
Our tailored solutions
While our approach is always designed around your requirements, we have a range of tried-and-tested solutions tailored to your industry, which speed up delivery and drive a successful outcome.
Legacy trading systems are complex and costly to modify. Our decoupled, scalable cloud architecture flexes to meet your business needs. Our framework facilitates the incremental migration of trade lifecycle data flows from tightly coupled legacy systems to a cloud-native pipeline, minimising disruption and risk.
We are a partner for AWS's D-CAT solution, which helps you assess your IT resilience against the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). Our consultants will guide you through a structured assessment and recommendations aligned with AWS best practices.
Starting a project with a clear, shared vision and a well-defined scope helps avoid common pitfalls such as delays, extensive rework, and unmet stakeholder expectations. In as little as 2–3 hours, our expert consultants will help you interrogate your idea so you can get clarity, alignment, and a robust path to success.
Proprietary workflow and orchestration platforms drive up total cost of ownership, limit flexibility, and create vendor risk. Our Fluxnova Migration service help you transition to a secure, open-source orchestration platform that restores control, enhances agility, and supports long-term technology sovereignty.
Each year, we co-author the industry-leading ‘State of Open Source in Financial Services’ report in collaboration with FINOS, the Fintech Open Source Foundation. The report looks at the challenges facing the industry in adopting more Open Source technologies – and where the opportunities lie.
Our consultants have extensive experience of designing and implementing custom solutions in complex environments. From regulatory reporting and e-trading platforms for investment banks, to cybersecurity for hedge funds, we have worked with the biggest names in the industry. Here are some examples of our work with named clients in financial services.
With 20% of Saxo Bank’s retail trading taking place through mobile devices, they needed a new platform to work seamlessly across a wide range of devices. Scott Logic helped create SaxoTraderGO, the HTML5 chart, which enables interactive trading.
We partnered with Newcastle Building Society to design, develop and launch its first mobile app which garnered outstanding customer feedback. Initiating their cloud journey, we also worked to establish a robust cloud infrastructure in which the app would be hosted.
Through their coaching style, Scott Logic’s team has empowered individuals in their new DevOps roles.

Andrew Carr explains why Monzo Bank's resilience strategy is a smart approach to regulations such as The EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the Bank of England's Operational Resilience regime and why traditional resilience strategies will put organisations at risk.

In this blog post, I explore this further, describing the expert input you need to draw on, the role of leadership in this context, and the kind of up-front planning that’s required.
