About the Company

Whitestein Technologies was founded in 1999 in Switzerland with a single conviction: that the financial institutions of Europe deserve software built around the way their business actually works - engineered for the long run, adaptive to change, transparent under audit.

Our first banking project shipped in 1997; our first insurance project in 2000. In the years since, we have built and modernized core platforms for Generali, Zurich, VIG, Axis Re, Swisscom, and several of Europe's largest banks - and stayed on as the engineering team behind those systems for ten, fifteen, twenty years and counting.

Today the company combines two strengths: a Swiss head office where strategy and contracting sit, and a 50-engineer delivery center in central Bratislava where architects, engineers, business analysts, and QA specialists work alongside our clients in CET hours. Many of those relationships have run for 10–20 years, and many of the platforms we built are still in continuous production more than a decade after we first shipped them.
