Capital Markets & Investment Banks
Modernise complex financial technology, unlock AI-driven productivity, and deliver change safely in one of the world’s most demanding markets.
Scott Logic has deep roots in capital markets. Founded by Gary Scott, former Head of Fixed Income Analytics at Lehman Brothers, we have spent two decades helping leading investment banks and capital markets firms solve complex technology challenges with confidence.
We understand the pressure you face: modernising critical platforms without disrupting business continuity, improving operational resilience, meeting regulatory demands, and equipping expert users with technology that helps them act faster and with greater confidence.
How we can help
Our UK-based consultants bring the engineering depth, sector experience, and pragmatic delivery approach needed to make progress where complexity is highest.
Now, with agentic AI creating new opportunities to reshape delivery, operations, and decision-making, we can help you move faster while maintaining the safety, governance, and control required in regulated financial environments.
The types of projects we can support your business with include:
Trading and front-office platforms
Design and build intuitive, high-performance applications that support demanding users and complex workflows.
Legacy modernisation
Incrementally migrate critical systems to modern, scalable architectures without creating unnecessary disruption or risk.
Data engineering and analytics
Unlock value from complex data estates through robust platforms, pipelines, visualisation, and decision-support tools.
Agentic engineering enablement
Embed AI into software delivery teams to improve productivity, quality, and time to market with clear success measures.
Agentic business transformation
Redesign operational workflows so execution can move safely to AI agents while human intent, constraints, and oversight remain firmly in place.
Regulatory and operational resilience
Build systems, workflows, and controls that support reporting, compliance, auditability, and resilience obligations.

Proven sector heritage
We have worked with eight of the ten biggest investment banks, three of the top five UK full-service banks, and a range of capital markets firms.
Permanent, UK-based experts
Our teams are close to your business, able to collaborate effectively, and committed to high-quality delivery.
Pragmatic innovation
We help you adopt emerging technologies, including agentic AI, where they can deliver real value rather than isolated experiments.
Safe delivery in regulated environments
We understand the importance of governance, resilience, security, and control when modernising critical systems.
Supporting our financial services clients
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.
