Automating Reconciliation and Money Movement in a Banking as a Service Platform Reconciliation Made Easy with Intergiro

Context

Intergiro is a Banking as a Service platform enabling businesses to launch accounts, issue cards, and manage embedded payments across multiple markets and payment rails.

Description

Built automated reconciliation and ledger infrastructure across SEPA, SWIFT, and card flows, improving transaction accuracy, fraud detection, and end to end payment lifecycle reliability.

Problem

Reconciliation was highly manual across multiple payment rails, wallets, and products, creating operational inefficiencies, financial risk, and limited visibility into transaction states. Discrepancies between internal ledgers and external payment providers reduced trust in financial reporting and slowed issue resolution.

Solution

Designed and delivered an automated reconciliation and transaction lifecycle system aligned with payment flows from initiation through settlement, return, and refund. Built rule based matching across internal and external ledgers, standardised transaction labelling, and introduced shared wallet structures to centralise fund tracking. Embedded reconciliation directly into payment workflows to improve accuracy, reduce manual intervention, and support scalable operations.d monitoring through automated alerts for mismatched transactions.

Key Deliverables

Reconciliation and Ledger Automation

Implemented rule based matching across payment rails and internal ledgers, improving accuracy and reducing manual effort. Standardised transaction identifiers and labelling to enable consistent tracking and reporting.

Wallet and Transaction Flow Architecture

Built a global pending wallet to centralise incoming and outgoing transaction handling, improving liquidity visibility and reducing reconciliation errors. Developed operational and fee wallets to support platform level fund management.

Payment Lifecycle and Exception Handling

Automated SEPA recalls, transaction rejections, and dispute handling flows. Introduced fee refund logic and improved handling of failed and delayed transactions across the lifecycle.

Fraud and Monitoring

Enabled automated detection of mismatched transactions and anomalies, improving fraud visibility and response times.

Impact

Reduced manual reconciliation effort and operational overhead. Improved financial accuracy and trust in reporting. Increased reliability of end to end payment flows across multiple rails. Strengthened fraud detection and compliance while enabling scalable Banking as a Service operations.
