Born in 2017, Orange Bank is a 100% subsidiary of the Orange Group. Since its launch, its offer has not stopped evolving (Premium bank card, Premium Pack, Express Loan), allowing it to claim:

• 1.8 million customers in Europe,
• Excellent level for its service on Trustpilot,
• being elected best banking application 2022 by Moneyvox,
• +2,000 authorized advisors in Orange stores in France.

Orange Bank has continued its development strategy with the acquisition of Anytime, a fintech serving the needs of professionals, businesses and associations in December 2020. The bank has also been present in Spain since November 2019.

At the end of 2019, Orange Bank chooses to operate a Go To Cloud enabling multiple objectives:

• Infrastructure modernization (modern/scalable infrastructure, security architecture, production tools...)
• DevOps transformation (organization / operational model / CICD)
• Time-to-Market reduction

Ippon supported Orange Bank on its Go To Cloud project from the very first stages of scoping, during the migration and on an ongoing basis to manage and evolve the entire Cloud platform.

This support evolved as the program progressed:

• Choice of Cloud provider / general architecture / organization / operational model
• Cloud architecture / network support
• Cloud transformation consulting / Operational model
• Agile / Safe Coaching

• Construction of the AWS landing zone and transversal services (security, network, IAM, monitoring/logging, Kubernetes, CI/CD...)
• Landing zone expertise / feedback
• Technical expertise (Cloud, IAC, tools)

• Support to the migration program
• Architecture / Migration framework
• Technical expertise (Cloud, IAC, CI/CD)
• Support and migration of the architecture (VPN, MPLS/DirectConnect...)

• Support for the creation and organization of a transverse "Cloud platform" team
• Technical Cloud product ownership
• Cloud & DevOps consultants
• 24/7 on-call

Ippon Technologies' collaboration with Orange Bank has contributed to the following results:

• Global transformation of the organization: Moving from a production managed by an outsourcing contract to an organization composed of "DevOps" feature teams and a transverse Cloud platform team
• Migration of all applications from a datacenter to the Cloud with a very high transformation rate to modern architectures
• Containerized applications on Kubernetes
• Event-driven architecture based on Kafka
• Automation (IAC, CI/CD, monitoring, logging)

Orange Bank operates as a financial service provider. It offers digital banking, insurance services, wealth management, and more. It was founded in 2002 and is based in Montreuil, France. In February 2024, Orange Bank was acquired by Hello bank.

“The number of incidents has been significantly reduced. Infrastructure costs have also been reduced, especially with the implementation, thanks to Ippon, of FinOps best practices from the start of the project. And today, Orange Bank is taking full advantage of the service catalog offered by AWS."
