An App Development Engine That Thinks Like a Bank

Samlink isn’t just another IT company. It’s a technology partner that knows the banking world inside and out. Samlink’s Development unit works like a high-performing application development engine that doesn’t just code but also speaks the client’s language and understands banking logic, regulation, and customer experience. 

With over 30 years of experience in the banking sector, Samlink is a deeply rooted expert. As part of the global Kyndryl group, it combines Nordic insight with international scale. 

The Development unit is led by Sami Suuronen, who has been part of Samlink’s evolution for more than a decade. He has witnessed the transformation of the banking and finance sector from the inside in technology, regulation, and customer expectations. Under Sami’s leadership, development has become more agile and customer-centric, while staying firmly grounded in the realities of the banking industry. 

We’re a solutions provider that speaks the customer’s language including the banking terms. For us, technology and business understanding go hand in hand. 

Developing Banking Applications with Insider Knowledge

Samlink’s development teams include experts with direct experience from multiple banks. This is especially evident in a loan services modernization project, built in co-creation with the client. The solution’s design and implementation involve specialists who have worked in five different banks. This kind of background brings depth and practical insight you simply can’t buy or learn overnight. 

“We don’t need anyone to explain what account rights, collateral, or late payment interest mean—we already understand the context. That saves time and improves quality,” says Sami.

Tailored to the Need

Samlink’s development model is based on agile methods and a deep understanding of the customer’s business needs. While the unit runs like a well-oiled machine, the core principle is that every solution is designed for the client’s environment and strategic goals. 

“Customers value the fact that we don’t offer generic solutions. We don’t ask what you want. We ask what you want to achieve and build the solution around that,” says Sami. 

From Legacy Systems to Modern AI Services

Bank IT environments are often a mix of old and new. 

“Samlink’s strength is that we don’t shy away from either. Our job is to build a functional bridge between systems whether it’s a decades-old platform or a brand-new AI-driven service. The goal is always a secure solution that supports the business,” says Sami. 

Current Focus: GenAI and Payments

In 2025, Samlink invests particularly in generative AI-based solutions and development in the payments field. It’s not just about technology, it’s about applying new possibilities in a smart, responsible way, tailored specifically to the banking industry.

All services are designed to support the client’s operating environment and strategic goals. 

Kyndryl Brings Scale and Security

As part of Kyndryl, the world’s largest provider of infrastructure services, Samlink has access to a broad range of technological expertise and the ability to scale services as needed. With Kyndryl’s support, Samlink delivers solutions that are locally precise and globally robust offering stability and continuity, while leaving room for agile development. 

A Banking Partner You Can Trust

Technical expertise is a given. But true value comes from understanding. Samlink’s clients appreciate the company’s ability to listen, interpret, and solve challenges with a long-term perspective. This is not just a service, it is about partnership that is built responsibly, in line with regulations, and with the future in mind.
