Building a Fintech Application
Gsunite is an open source financial technology platform for embedded finance. You can use Gsunite's RESTful API resources and its unique micro services design to develop financial applications use cases.
Currently, we are aiming for Gsunite to be a low code platform. Having said that, you can deploy beautiful web and mobile applications with Gsunite, with relatively easier development efforts. Ease of development also comes with freedom of writing your use case in any programming language of your choice.
The Gsunite project is completely open source. Gsunite is also made up of multiple components and resources derived from other related open source libraries, source codes and design frameworks. Therefore, each component also comes with its own open source licensing. For exact open source license of each component, please check the Readme.md of our repository that you access.
We are building many reliable partnerships with Cloud providers like IBM, Google Cloud Platform. Currently, you can start building your applications in your hosting environment. We are going to start offering cloud native deployments with our cloud service providers and partners soon.
General Questions
Gsunite acts as a middle ware for transactional processing in the banking industry. A developer codes an easily deployable financial workflow application with its own logic and presentation layer.

We have introduced blockchain based security framework for each inter queue messaging that takes places b/w different micro-services, b/w your legacy processor and Gsunite or b/w Gsunite and any front end application(that you write). So basically, this is as secure as it can get for modern banking needs.
With its cloud native development approach, easy to build and manage loosely coupled micro-services design, Gsunite can offer massive scalability. Scalability factor is also enhanced because of seamless inter service exchange.
Special Questions
If you are using a legacy core banking system, you are already looking at ways to better it, make it more non monolithic and open banking oriented. Gsunite provides the capabilities to do so. Your traditional core banking system or transactional processor is connected to Gsunite via a messaging queue system. Your job is now to only write beautiful and consumer centric workflow applications.
If you are using a monolithic core lending system, it does not automatically guarantee a seamless inter services exchange. Your core lending system may also have provisions for REST APIs, however this does not mean it satisfies your requirements of modularity and scalability. With Gsunite, you break these barriers.
Gsunite can be used for creating smart payments applications. It can be any interface, UI/UX that you have in mind. For core transaction processing, you use Gsunite's Transactions service. For more info, please see the Solutions>Payments page.
