UC AB

UC AB is a Swedish financial services company specializing in credit information, risk assessment, and decision support solutions for businesses and financial institutions. Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, it delivers data-driven insights that support credit evaluation, identity verification, and fraud prevention across the Nordic region.

The platform and project included the following core areas:

  • End-to-end API lifecycle management and developer engagement
  • Secure authentication and Identity Access Management (IAM)
  • Data-driven onboarding automation and BI insights
  • Cloud-native deployment and observability across hybrid infrastructure

In practical terms, the work was structured across the following initiatives:

  • Directed a technical team of System Architects and Fullstack Developers, serving as both Technical Product Owner and Scrum Master in a SAFe/Agile framework
  • Delivered the API Management platform, including a customer-facing Developer Portal and a new IAM system
  • Bridged business and technology through data analysis and BI dashboards, driving product decisions and automating onboarding via Salesforce integrations
  • Spearheaded API and data modeling for high-stakes products, including credit risk assessment, KYC/AML processes, and ESG reporting used by Sweden’s four major banks
  • Standardized developer experience by revising API design guidelines and implementing OpenAPI standards to simplify large-scale Fintech integrations
  • Modernized authentication protocols by integrating with ForgeRock and Active Directory using OIDC for secure, industrial-grade access
  • Managed a complex migration from on-premises infrastructure to cloud, including setup of OpenShift/Kubernetes clusters and integration with existing CI/CD pipelines
  • Optimized API gateway operations by upgrading the 3Scale platform and automating gateway deployments to increase velocity
  • Enhanced system reliability and monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and Instana, providing full observability of the API ecosystem

A secure, scalable, and highly automated API platform was successfully delivered, improving developer experience, accelerating integrations with major banks, and establishing a foundation for UC AB’s future digital innovation.

Codepole helped with the launch of our current platform. Implemented features and products enabled us to rapidly scale our existing Swedish business and expand to new markets.
