Point-to-point wireless with ultra-low latency, multi-site fibre connectivity, Italian data centres and managed cybersecurity to support financial institutions, insurance companies and fintech in complying with DORA and NIS2.

Home Verticals Digital infrastructure for banks, insurance and fintech

The financial sector demands always-on infrastructure and a network faster than fibre.

Banks, insurance companies, SGRs, fintechs and capital market operators work on increasingly digital and regulated processes. Operational continuity, predictable latency at trading sites, ICT risk management and data protection are operational requirements, not technical topics anymore. The Bank of Italy's Fintech in the Italian Financial System survey confirms continuous growth in sector investments, with web, mobile, AI and cloud at the centre of priorities.

Retelit supports the sector with a proprietary fibre optic network infrastructure, point-to-point wireless solutions with minimal latency and carrier-neutral data centres in Italy, integrated with managed cybersecurity services and a private cloud platform under Italian jurisdiction.

For those operating in financial markets, speed, continuity and reliability make the difference.

Our proprietary network with national coverage, integrated with private cloud and managed cybersecurity, becomes an operational tool to ensure secure transactions, reduce exposure to downtime and cyber incidents, and simplify regulatory audits.

Requirements

The needs of banks, insurance companies and fintech.

Ultra-fast, low-latency networks, pervasive security and resilient operations. The Politecnico di Milano Cybersecurity & Data Protection Observatory has identified a progressive maturity of Italian organisations on the cyber front, with more than half of companies integrating AI into their security systems. We support the finance sector on three fronts, with proprietary infrastructure that ensures full data sovereignty in Italy.

Always-available network and predictable response times

Internet banking, mobile apps, digital branches and payment systems require a constantly active network and stable response times: just a few seconds of slowdown are enough for a customer to abandon a transaction or an online quote. Branches, agencies and ATMs need quick activation and always-on connectivity with mobile backup lines, while trading rooms and disaster recovery sites require redundant paths across two locations, monitored end-to-end and stable even in the event of a link degradation or maintenance work.

Network and connectivity

Defence of digital channels and audit-ready posture

Online fraud, phishing and DDoS attacks threaten internet banking, payment systems and insurance portals: detecting and blocking them in real time is now an essential service requirement. Added to this is regulatory pressure, which requires demonstrating at any time how the organisation defends itself, what resilience tests it has carried out and which external suppliers it uses. Every piece of evidence required by DORA and NIS2 must therefore be ready, ordered and demonstrable.

Protection and security

Operations that don't stop in the face of failures or maintenance

Service continuity must guarantee constant operations in the face of scheduled maintenance, hardware failures and mandatory resilience tests. The unavailability of a branch, agency, site or application generates immediate impacts on operations and customer relationships, with direct repercussions on the contact centre. In this scenario, managed backup services, disaster recovery plans with guaranteed recovery times and automatic failover procedures between sites become essential, independent of a single data centre or a single team.
