Platform

Platform Architecture and Security

How the platform is built, where it runs, what protects it, and what Remitz deliberately does not do — written for the technical and compliance reviewers who have to sign this off.

The short version

Remitz is software. Your firm holds the authorisation, the provider relationships and the customer funds. Our role is to supply the technology; your reviewers assess whether the proposed deployment meets your requirements.

Use this page to scope a technical review. Request deployment-specific evidence and written answers to your due-diligence questionnaire before approval.

How the platform is built

Remitz provides customer-facing web, back-office and mobile capability according to the implementation. Request the architecture and data-flow documentation for your proposed deployment, including its software stack and dependencies. Marketing descriptions alone are not technical acceptance evidence.

Where it runs, and where your data sits

Hosting and data-processing locations are agreed for your deployment. Confirm primary storage, backups, subprocessors and support access as part of due diligence. Enterprise infrastructure and isolation requirements are scoped in the agreement.

Security controls to verify

Security requirements are assessed for the proposed deployment. Ask for evidence of encryption, administrative MFA, role permissions, audit coverage and retention, data locations, monitoring and recovery tests. Confirm supported controls and service levels in writing rather than assuming every deployment has the same configuration.

  • Encryption in transit and at rest, with evidence for relevant endpoints and storage.
  • Administrative MFA, role permissions and separation of operational responsibilities.
  • Audit events, export formats and retention settings matched to your requirements.
  • Backup scope, restore tests, recovery objectives and incident escalation.
  • Monitoring coverage. A public status page is not proof of every product component or an uptime commitment.

What Remitz does not do

Every item below is a question that surfaces eventually. We would rather you had the answer now than during a procurement review.

  • We do not hold customer funds. Your provider and safeguarding arrangements remain your responsibility. Software failure can still disrupt operations.
  • No ISO 27001 certification is claimed here. Request current assessment evidence and confirm any gaps.
  • We do not provide safeguarding reconciliation. Do not assume a ledger or a provider balance is a safeguarding reconciliation service. Confirm available records, reports and exports during product validation. Your finance and compliance teams remain responsible for safeguarding requirements.
  • We do not supply banking, payout, KYC, payment gateway or licensing services. You hold each of those relationships directly. See how the integrations work.

Supporting your regulatory obligations

Your firm remains responsible for its regulatory obligations and oversight of providers. Request access-control evidence, backup and recovery arrangements, sample audit exports and written exit provisions for your assessment.

Where an obligation is yours rather than ours — safeguarding, transaction monitoring policy, customer due diligence standards — the platform is built to help you discharge it, not to take it on. That distinction matters to your regulator and it should matter in your vendor assessment.

Business continuity and exit

  • Backups and recovery: agree scope, frequency, restore testing and responsibilities for your deployment.
  • Data portability: agree records, formats, retention, timing and any exit-assistance fees in writing.
  • Source-code and self-hosting requests: subject to feasibility, licensing and a separate written agreement; ownership is not implied by a software licence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Remitz hosted and where is customer data stored?
Hosting and data-processing locations are agreed for your deployment. Confirm primary storage, backups, subprocessors and support access as part of due diligence. Enterprise infrastructure and isolation requirements are scoped in the agreement.
What is the Remitz platform built on?
Remitz provides customer-facing web, back-office and mobile capability according to the implementation. Request the architecture and data-flow documentation for your proposed deployment, including its software stack and dependencies. Marketing descriptions alone are not technical acceptance evidence.
Can Remitz see or move my customers’ money?
Remitz supplies software and does not hold customer funds or provide banking, payment, payout or safeguarding accounts. The operator controls its provider relationships and is responsible for customer funds and safeguarding. Software outages can still affect operations, so continuity arrangements matter.
Can I self-host the Remitz platform?
Discuss self-hosting and source-code requirements during Enterprise scoping. Availability, licensing, deployment work, ongoing support and responsibility for patching, monitoring, backups and recovery must be agreed in writing; they are not standard-plan inclusions.
Does Remitz hold ISO 27001 certification?
No ISO 27001 certification is claimed here. Request current security-assessment and penetration-testing evidence during due diligence, and confirm any evidence gaps before committing.
What happens to our data if we leave Remitz?
Your business data remains yours. Agree export formats, included records, audit retention, exit assistance, timing, charges and deletion arrangements in the contract before onboarding.
