Asim Jafri — CEO
I am an Executive Director and Banking Technology Leader with 20+ years of experience shaping enterprise architecture, payments modernization, and cloud transformation across top global financial institutions — including JPMorgan Chase, Charles Schwab, Wells Fargo, Early Warning (Zelle) and others. My work has spanned the full spectrum of banking technology — from core banking systems modernization and ISO20022 enablement to digital payments, lending, and treasury systems. I’ve led large-scale architecture initiatives modernizing legacy platforms, migrating workloads to public cloud (GCP/AWS), and enabling event-driven, API-first ecosystems. Key highlights include: Leading SMB Payments Architecture at JPMorgan Chase, defining the end-to-end strategy for Small Business Payments and Value Added Services. Lead the Core Banking and Payments modernization architecture initiatives at Charles Schwab, defining the end-to-end strategy for target state core banking and payment platforms (Unified Payment Gateway, ISO20022 etc.) Delivering Core Banking Implementation using Oracle Flexcube with POS/ ATM (using ISO8583), and Treasury integration. Building digital payments capabilities for Zelle (EWS) and real-time fraud detection pipelines using streaming architecture. Lead the application architecture for the Wells Fargo CML KYC/ AML platform both on the legacy IBM BPM tech stack and modernized one with Spring boot microservices, Apache Camel, DDD, AXON and EDD architecture patterns I’m passionate about driving the next generation of banking architecture — modern, resilient, cloud-native platforms that power real-time payments and data-driven customer experiences.
