15+ banking microservices

15+banking microservices
Real timeon every interbank transfer
On timewith the national Bre-B schedule

The challenge

Bre-B requires banks to send and receive money in real time, validate keys and integrate with external clearing systems while meeting strict regulatory standards. All on a challenging timeline with heavy reliance on external validations.

The result

  • Compliance with national regulation and the established schedule.
  • Real-time interoperable transfers for the bank's customers.
  • Modular, scalable architecture ready for future regulations.
  • The project was recognized internally as a milestone in the relationship with the bank.

The solution

  • More than 15 specialized microservices: key validation, account verification, debit and credit, internal and external transactions, and message orchestration to clearing.
  • Integration with the COBIS core banking system for account movements.
  • Interoperability with ACH and other players in the Colombian financial ecosystem.
  • On-site support for the bank and its executives during the go-live.

3 integrated lines of business

3integrated lines of business
24/7sales channel availability
100%digital and self-service

The challenge

Plan sales depended on manual validation of personal data, medical conditions, age and eligibility, with constant sales intermediation. This consumed operational time and hurt the customer experience.

The result

  • Less manual intervention and faster purchases.
  • A 24/7 digital channel that contributes directly to the sales strategy.
  • In progress: buying plans for several family members in a single experience.

The solution

  • Guided flow that requests data, runs internal and external validations and applies business rules in real time.
  • Dynamic eligibility and price calculation based on the profile.
  • Online payment with PayU (web checkout and API integration): cards, PSE, Google Pay and Bancolombia.
  • Pilot with the main plan and expansion to the dental plan and the home medical care plan.

3 months to production

3months to production
2ªphase with the same client
100%of each order traceable

The challenge

The order nomination process handled sensitive information and combined manual and automated steps that were not always in sync. This affected traceability, document management, indicators and communication between the parties.

The result

  • Go-live in December 2025, within the estimated time.
  • Greater information security and fewer manual processes.
  • Every party sees the order status in real time, with stronger audit capabilities.

The solution

  • Independent profiles for exporters, with no access to the client's confidential information.
  • Real-time traceability module: stage, owner and time in each phase.
  • Automatic generation and delivery of documentation, available without being an active user.
  • Reports and indicators tailored for decision-making.

Frequently asked questions

What people often ask us.

What success stories does Vortexbird have in the financial sector?

With Bancoomeva we delivered three projects: rule engines and orchestration for loan origination with Tekio Decision and Tekio Flow (more than 30 rule engines, more than 6 orchestrators and applications resolved in milliseconds), an interoperability layer with Tekio Connect with more than 600 APIs and more than 10,000 transactions in high-demand processes, and the integration with Bre-B, the Banco de la República instant payments system, with more than 15 microservices.

What is Tekio and where has it been used?

Tekio is Vortexbird's low-code/no-code platform to govern decisions (Tekio Decision), orchestrate processes (Tekio Flow) and integrate systems (Tekio Connect). At Bancoomeva, Tekio Decision and Tekio Flow resolve loan applications in milliseconds, and Tekio Connect is the interoperability layer between channels, services and core banking.

Does Vortexbird have healthcare experience?

Yes. For Coomeva Medicina Prepagada we built Sally, a 100% digital, self-service sales channel that integrates three lines of business, and the Mobile Directory, an app for more than 300,000 potential members.

What projects has Vortexbird delivered in logistics and ports?

We worked with CIAMSA to digitize its export logistics process, with Sociedad Portuaria de Buenaventura on self-service and PSE payment portals, and with the Terminal de Contenedores de Buenaventura on PORTNET, its services portal.

What technologies does Vortexbird work with?

Mainly Java and Spring Boot on the backend, Angular and React on the frontend, Flutter for mobile apps, rule engines such as Drools, messaging with RabbitMQ and Kafka, and AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with Docker and Kubernetes containers.
