What we provide

The DevSecOps platform global banks use to modernize software delivery.

GitLab brings AI native software development, enterprise security, and compliance automation together in one platform.

Unified DevSecOps platform

A single DevSecOps platform for planning, source code, CI/CD, and deployment, with deployment options ranging from self-managed to GitLab Dedicated single-tenant SaaS in your region of choice. GitLab replaces fragmented toolchains financial institutions have spent years stitching together, giving every team one place to work and every risk and compliance function one audit trail to reference.

CI/CD

Source control

Issue tracking

Regional deployment

Built-in security and governance

Security scanning, vulnerability management, secrets detection, and compliance controls run in the same pipelines where code is built and tested, rather than bolted on afterward. GitLab gives financial institutions comprehensive security and governance coverage, with audit-ready evidence generated automatically as work happens so security, risk, and compliance teams can align with frameworks without slowing down delivery.

SAST / DAST

Dependency scanning

Secret detection

Compliance pipelines

Agentic software delivery

AI agents that go beyond code suggestions, orchestrated across the software lifecycle and governed by a platform harness with the audit trails, permissions, and policy enforcement enterprises need at scale. Deployable regionally so your AI capability stays inside the jurisdiction your regulators require.

Pipeline optimization

Purpose-built for every corner of financial services.

The platform global banks have been waiting for.

Banks have AI strategies, platform engineering teams, and modernization roadmaps. What they have too much of is friction: security reviews that happen after code ships, compliance evidence collected manually ahead of audits, and toolchains so fragmented that no single team knows the full state of a given release.

GitLab gives banking engineering teams a single platform where AI assistance, security scanning, and compliance controls operate on the same pipeline. An isolated, single-tenant deployment option keeps your data in the region you choose, helping you meet data residency requirements without sacrificing AI capability.

Accelerate core banking modernization with AI-assisted refactoring and full change lineage
Build audit-ready evidence for OCC, PRA, and internal audit reviews with compliance frameworks and automated audit trails generated in-pipeline
Replace fragmented CI/CD, security scanning, and ticketing chains with one platform and one audit trail

The platform built for the systems you can't afford to break.

Insurance engineering teams are modernizing policy administration, claims, and underwriting systems that often run on decades-old vendor platforms wired into brokers, MGAs, and downstream billing and claims processing, where a bad change can disrupt policyholders directly rather than simply delaying a release.

GitLab supports legacy modernization with AI-assisted refactoring and a full audit trail from commit to deployment, so teams can move faster without losing the change history examiners and internal risk teams expect.

Core system modernization for policy administration, claims, and underwriting platforms, with AI-assisted refactoring and full audit trail from commit to deployment
Faster testing and quality assurance for claims and underwriting releases, with AI-assisted test generation and automated root cause analysis
Automated controls aligned to PRA, FCA, and state insurance department examinations

Move quickly while building the controls partners, auditors, and regulators expect.

Fintechs scale fast, but every new banking partner, license, or market brings its own compliance review, and passing each one means proving you have real controls in place.

GitLab gives fintech engineering teams the AI-native developer experience they want alongside the compliance infrastructure their banking partners and regulators require, all in one platform that scales from your first production deployment through IPO without forcing a toolchain rebuild at every funding milestone.

Banking partnership readiness with automated security and compliance controls
One platform for engineering teams building payments, digital asset, or embedded finance products, from prototype through production
Scale from seed-stage speed to public-company governance, with no toolchain rebuild at each funding milestone

Your software is the competitive edge. Treat it that way.

In capital markets, a single code change to a trading system, risk engine, or post-trade platform can carry direct business and regulatory consequences. How fast and how safely that change ships is a genuine competitive factor.

GitLab accelerates quant and trading system development with AI that understands the full context of the codebase, while a single-tenant, isolated deployment option keeps algorithmic IP separate from other tenants, with data residency in the region you choose.

AI-accelerated development for quant and engineering teams with sophisticated tooling requirements
Single-tenant, isolated deployment for firms where codebase and algorithmic IP confidentiality is non-negotiable

What are you building?

Payments engineering teams are building multi-rail orchestration, defending against AI-driven fraud and APP scams, and scaling real-time payments, often all at the same time. GitLab helps by bringing security scanning, compliance controls, and AI assistance into the same pipeline these systems are built on, so new rails, fraud models, and real-time features ship without waiting on a separate compliance pass.

Core banking teams are modernizing systems of record built on decades-old cores, migrating deposit and lending platforms without disrupting live transaction processing. GitLab helps by capturing full change lineage automatically and supports AI-assisted refactoring of legacy code, so teams can modernize core systems without risking the transaction processing customers depend on every day.

Many institutions built internal CI/CD toolchains a decade ago because enterprise-grade alternatives didn't exist, and now spend more time maintaining them than building on them. GitLab gives platform engineering teams a proven consolidation path, replacing fragmented CI/CD, security scanning, and ticketing chains with one platform that includes compliance automation and AI capabilities.

Why GitLab for financial services

One platform built for financial services. One audit trail.

Most financial services firms stitch together security scanning, CI/CD, and ticketing across separate tools, then manually assemble an audit trail before every exam. GitLab consolidates that toolchain into one platform where evidence generates automatically as work happens, and the GitLab Financial Services Pack adds a pre-built reference architecture for RBAC, branching, policy enforcement, and audit evidence collection from day one. Give risk, compliance, and internal audit one auditable system of record for software delivery.
