Why BankLingo

Stop building banking plumbing from scratch

Financial institutions waste months wiring core banking systems to applications. BankLingo is the middleware layer that handles integration, workflow orchestration, and compliance โ€” so you ship products, not infrastructure. And if you need a core banking system, BankLingo has one built in.

Embedded AI Engine

36 AI capabilities โ€” zero code changes

Every BankLingo workflow can tap into a built-in AI engine with 36 capabilities โ€” fraud scoring, document OCR, sentiment analysis, text generation, face detection, speech-to-text, and more. Just drag an AI node onto your BPMN canvas, pick a model provider (OpenAI, Azure AI, Hugging Face, Anthropic, or self-hosted), and deploy. Results flow straight back into your process variables for downstream decisions โ€” no external pipelines, no ML ops overhead.

Fraud Detection

Real-time anomaly detection and transaction scoring powered by ML models โ€” built directly into your BPMN workflows.

Text & NLP

Sentiment analysis, entity extraction, text classification, and document summarization using GPT-4, Claude, or your own models.

Vision & OCR

ID document scanning, face detection, and optical character recognition for automated KYC and onboarding.

Speech & Audio

Speech-to-text for call centre transcription, text-to-speech for IVR systems, and audio classification.

Code Intelligence

AI-powered code generation, review, and bug detection for custom workflow scripting and automation.

Semantic Search

Embeddings-based search across customer records, compliance documents, and knowledge bases.
