In 2024, SBS creates its Digital Lending business unit by acquiring the French startup October with the vision to allow SMEs to benefit from a seamless financing experience via the deployment of a cost effective SaaS end-to-end lending solution for financial institutions.
Joining SBS Digital Lending is taking part in an entrepreneurial journey whilst joining a solid group. It is the occasion to instill an agile and dynamic mindset whilst leveraging years of experience in the SaaS and financing markets.
# Tech at SBS Digital Lending
We think reinventing financing is a massive tech challenge, that’s why we built October as a tech and data-driven startup. Today, 18 developers are working on building the best financing experience ever made, very closely to the Product team.
We love **TypeScript** at SBS Digital Lending. That’s why every part of our stack is based on JS: we use **Node.js** and **MongoDB** on the back-end, **React.js** on the web, and React Native on mobile. The platform runs on **AWS**, deployed using **Terraform** and **GitHub Actions**. You can take a look at our whole stack here:
https://stackshare.io/october.We believe in ownership and mentoring at SBS Digital Lending. By following good code practices and through code review, we make sure to deliver quality code and allow developers to grow their skills.
We follow the Scrum methodology: the Tech and Product teams are split in 3 squads, along with a DevOps platform team.
We currently have 3 people working on the infrastructure & data platform, and 15 developers eager to learn the DevOps best practices.
The security is a topic split across squads that everybody is responsible for.
