Why Edinburgh firms work with Forth
Edinburgh is the UK's second-largest financial centre and home to NatWest Group, Lloyds Banking Group, Tesco Bank, Sainsbury's Bank, Aegon, Standard Life and a dense ring of fintech scale-ups. We're a small, senior team that ships production-grade software and assurance — not a body-shop consultancy.
What we do for Edinburgh clients
Bespoke software, independent system testing (UAT, SIT, regression, payments, Open Banking), integration work, legacy modernisation, AI integration and platform engineering — delivered to Edinburgh-based teams onsite where required.
Industries we serve in Edinburgh
Banks, payment institutions, fintechs, insurers, asset managers, energy and utilities, transport, councils, NHS boards and industrial operators.
How we engage
Fixed-scope discovery, a 30-day pilot against a real workload, and a continuation engagement with named UK-based engineers. Onsite in Edinburgh when the work demands it; remote-first otherwise.
