As the growth of the technology sector continues to impact the traditionality of the finance industry, more institutions are looking for new team members who can provide digital support. However, despite the industries growth, the talent pool within finance seems to shrink more and more every year.
Talented professionals working in the intersection of finance and technology are beginning to turn towards specialized Fintech companies. As a result, Fintech outsourcing services have become a major enabler to successful digital finance strategies.
In this article, we define what Fintech outsourcing services are and take a look at why these services are so important in 2022. Keep reading to learn about CPQi’s outsourcing and augmentation services and how they can help your financial institution become more digitally competitive.
What are Fintech Outsourcing Services?
Fintech outsourcing services are any type of service where a financial institution or financial services company sources staff members, experts, or resources from a financial technology company.
Examples of Fintech outsourcing services include:
- Staff Augmentation: Staff augmentation is the practice of hiring external personnel for a specific purpose within a business. Rather than hiring these professionals as full-time employees, they are borrowed from their own companies by paying pre-determined project fees or rates and can be used both temporarily or for ongoing support.
- Resource Augmentation: Resource augmentation is the outsourcing of digital resources, such as software applications and platforms. Two popular examples of resource augmentation include Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), in which a Fintech company provides all the necessary coding, software deliveries, updating, and maintenance needed for these technological resources.
- Managed Services: Managed services is where a specific element of a financial institution is fully managed by an outside source. For example, financial institutions using the cloud to power their platforms and infrastructure will often use a third-party service provider to maintain and manage their cloud platform as needed.
In 2022, global law firm Morgan Lewis released its Digital Innovation and Disruption webinar series. This series focused on the growth of outsourcing in financial services, specifically in relation to digital transformation and innovation.
According to Diceus research data included in this series, 44% of CIOs state they are more likely to utilize outsourcing compared to 5 years ago. Additionally, 64% of outsourcing from offshore tech companies is used for software development.

- Immediate Access to Experts: Bringing a new, full-time expert to your team can be difficult – not only in terms of staffing costs but also in finding a qualified professional in a timely manner. Outsourcing staff allows an institution to find the experts they need and work with them quickly – no onboarding processes required, as the provider deals with everything themselves.
- On-Demand Support: When partnered with a Fintech outsourcing team, you can often find a company that offers near-shore offices (like CPQi). This ensures you will always have on-demand support that is within your timezone and is fluent in your native language.
