Our team’s mission is a bold one – to create technology that can run the world’s banks according to the best designs and software practices of the modern age. In doing so, we will properly and permanently rid the world’s banks of the problems generated by poor technology running on legacy infrastructure.
Our solution to this is Vault Core: a complete core banking platform that is capable of being configured easily to suit the needs of any bank. We have built Vault Core from the ground up as a cloud-native, microservices and API-based platform. Thought Machine has a deep culture of engineering excellence, and our approach has engendered a seismic shift in the banking industry.
Thought Machine is looking for highly talented individuals to help grow the company and achieve our ambitious goal. We pride ourselves on having an excellent internal culture, where we strive hard to create the best possible working environment; a healthy mix of great technical work, fast pace, a supportive atmosphere, and of course our irreverent sense of fun.

Form3 develop payment technology. We offer a fully managed, payment technology platform for Financial Institutions as-a-Service.
Our vision is to be the worlds most trusted provider of payment technology.
We design, build and run the technology that powers the future of payments.
Historically, banking leaders believed that infrastructure technologies were an asset for their financial institution because they were managed locally and could be customised. Form3 is changing this model and offering payments infrastructure as a service. A fully cloud native platform that is fully managed to lower costs across operations, infrastructure, security, upgrades, and change management.
Form3 has proven that there is a cheaper, simpler, and more efficient way for FIs to handle large payment volumes and scale dynamically without a heavy infrastructure burden.
We enable FI’s to benefit from the flexibility, business agility and speed to market that an API-first platform brings along with embedded services that ensure they are always future-ready.
Form3 work with regulated financial institutions including large Enterprise banks and digital challenger banks including Mastercard, Lloyds Banking Group, Ebury, LHV, PPS, N26, Square, Aion Bank and others.
