Summary

A Canadian fintech client needed to modernize cross-border payment operations by integrating multiple payment service providers through a single API layer. Eastgate built a cloud-native payment orchestration platform with a unified API gateway, intelligent PSP routing, and automated liquidity and reconciliation. The result was sub-300ms payment processing, 100% PSP integration coverage, and 20-40% gains in operational efficiency.

The Challenge

Fragmented integrations: every PSP was wired up separately, so each new provider meant another one-off build and its own ongoing maintenance burden.

Manual operations: routing a payment to the right provider, managing liquidity across accounts, and reconciling transactions afterward all ran as manual processes that worked at small scale but broke down under real volume.

Compliance pressure: the ad hoc checks bolted onto each PSP integration weren't strong or consistent enough to meet the regulatory expectations of international payment flows.

Slow expansion: onboarding a new PSP took long enough to directly block the company from entering new international payment corridors, with every new market gated behind another integration project.

The Solution

01 Unified API gateway

A cloud-native orchestration platform presents one consistent API in place of provider-by-provider integrations, so each new payment service provider no longer means another one-off build to maintain.

02 Intelligent PSP routing

Routing logic and adapter modules absorb the differences between providers. Onboarding a PSP becomes writing an adapter against a known pattern, which is what unblocked entry into new international corridors.

03 Liquidity and reconciliation

Liquidity management, reconciliation, dashboards, KYC and admin functions replace processes that had been run by hand and were breaking down under real volume.

04 Event-driven platform foundation

Event-driven processing, authentication, webhooks and DevSecOps practices underpin the platform, which is what holds sub-300ms processing at production transaction volumes.

Inside the build

Cloud-native platform unifying multiple PSPs behind one API

The Results

No new bottleneck

Sub-300ms payment processing latency across integrated PSPs, with the orchestration layer adding negligible overhead rather than becoming its own bottleneck.

Every PSP covered

100% PSP integration coverage through the unified API layer, closing out the provider-by-provider integration work that used to define the client's engineering roadmap.

Leaner operations

20-40% improvement in operational efficiency, once manual, error-prone routing and reconciliation were replaced by a system that does it consistently.

Room for the next provider

A scalable, secure foundation for onboarding future PSPs, in place of the multi-provider integration slog that started the project.
