Banking Technology Whitepapers & Research

In-depth research and practical frameworks covering composable banking architecture, AI, payments, RegTech, Open Banking, lending and fintech modernization.

Banking technology decisions deserve more than marketing claims. Sanson's research program is being built to cover the architecture, AI, payments, compliance and credit models shaping modern financial infrastructure — grounded in named authorship, sources and methodology.

What is composable banking architecture?

Composable banking architecture is a design approach where banking capabilities — such as payments, lending or compliance — are built as independent, interchangeable modules connected through APIs. This lets financial institutions modernize individual capabilities over time, rather than replacing their entire technology stack in a single project.
