Pragma Achieves AWS Financial Services Competency: Validated Leadership to Transform the Financial Sector

The financial sector is at a pivotal moment: transforming its operations with cutting-edge technology, responding to stringent regulations, protecting critical data, and delivering exceptional digital experiences is no longer optional; it’s a strategic priority.

In this challenging environment, having expert partners makes all the difference. Today, AWS has recognized Pragma with the Financial Services Competency, an official validation of our ability to drive innovation, efficiency, and security in leading financial institutions across the US and Latin America.

This distinction reflects years of experience, tangible results, and a sustained commitment to technical excellence and deep knowledge of the financial business. It’s not just about implementing technology; it’s about understanding the industry, anticipating its challenges, and guiding its evolution with vision, talent, and impactful solutions.

But What Does It Mean to Have the AWS Financial Services Competency?

This means that Pragma can speak the financial sector’s language with credibility and authority. We understand the industry’s challenges and needs and have become a strategic ally for renowned companies.

It means Pragma:

• Masters key verticals: banking, insurance, payments, capital markets, financial services, and open finance.
• Thoroughly understands the regulations and challenges of Latin American banking.
• Has developed solutions that meet the highest global standards.
• Has a dedicated practice for financial services on AWS.
• Most importantly, it has transformed the most important banks in Latin America and the Caribbean with measurable results.

The Story Behind the New AWS Financial Services Competency

This recognition doesn’t come by chance or luck. It’s earned.

AWS rigorously, almost surgically, validates whether its partners truly have what it takes to be among the elite in its partner channel. It evaluates everything: technical practices, financial business knowledge, regulations, security, and real results. You can’t fake it.

And Pragma passed every test. Every filter.

Why does it matter? The financial sector can’t afford improvisation. Every technology decision has regulatory, economic, and human implications. With this competency, Pragma shows that it understands technology and banking.

Four Stories That Make Us Worthy of the AWS Financial Services Competency

This achievement is backed by stories that matter. Not pilots or proofs of concept, but full-scale transformations led by Pragma that demonstrated the power of AWS technology and, of course, impressed the judges:

• A digital financial platform with more than 22 million active users redesigned its structure for greater scalability, security, and efficiency to expand into a new Central American country.
• A leading insurance company with over 9 million clients optimized its digital operations to offer its products just a click away.
• The largest investment bank in Latin America found in Pragma a visionary and technically strong partner to modernize its core banking system.
• One of the top five banks in Guatemala chose to enhance its biometric processes with Pragma to provide better quality and security to its users.

Four challenges, four victories, and one common denominator: Pragma’s ability to understand and turn the financial business into technology that works.

Why Does This Matter Now More Than Ever?

Because we are at a decisive moment for the financial industry. Digital transformation is not optional; it’s necessary. But trends and technology alone are not enough. Nor is any partner.

With this competency, AWS has made a clear statement: Pragma is one of the few capable of guiding financial institutions toward real innovation. And the best part: we have the cases, the talent, and the vision. Ultimately, we deliver results.

And not just any results. These positive, noteworthy results across key analytical fronts matter to leaders like you: banking modernization, capital markets, insurance, payments, and general financial services.

So, we believe:

1. Modernizing core banking isn’t an upgrade; it’s the foundation for competitiveness. It enhances customer experience, strengthens cybersecurity, and turns data into decisions, all in a regulated and ever-changing environment.
2. Transforming wealth management requires more than data: it requires precision, speed, and vision. From investment to post-trade, success comes from innovative technology and foresight.
3. The insurance of the future is efficient, agile, and personalized. Automating, predicting, and responding accurately is no longer a competitive advantage; it’s the minimum customers expect.
4. In payments, speed alone isn’t enough. Intelligence is needed to prevent fraud, connectivity to scale, and architecture to innovate without friction.
5. A modern contact center doesn’t react; it anticipates. The right mix of data, automation, and compliance turns every interaction into a loyalty opportunity.
