Skaleet

Cloud-native core banking and payment hub with deployments measured in months

As of 1 September 2026, Skaleet's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. A French core banking platform, formerly TagPay, whose selling point is speed: several named European deployments went live in six to twelve months. Softwr lists it under APIs. Skaleet is available on Web, REST API, Linux.

Overview

What Skaleet does

Skaleet is a cloud-native core banking platform covering accounts, ledger, cards, lending and a payment engine supporting SEPA, SEPA Instant, SWIFT and native ISO 20022. It can be deployed as a full banking suite or as a standalone payment hub layered over an existing core, which gives banks a way to modernise payments without a full replacement. The evidence that matters is delivery speed on real institutions rather than greenfield startups. Crédit Agricole launched a pan-European digital savings platform on Skaleet, live in Germany within eight months; a BPCE group entity built a corporate bank in the Netherlands in under a year; SD Worx deployed embedded finance in under six months. For a bank that has watched core programmes run for five years, an eight-month reference at a major European group is the single most persuasive fact in the file. Buyers are European banks, payment service providers and corporates launching embedded finance. The trade-off is footprint: with a customer base measured in tens rather than hundreds, the implementation partner pool is small, and a bank that wants a choice of systems integrators will find few who know the platform.

What people use it for

  • A banking group launching a digital savings or deposit brand in a new country within a year
  • A bank modernising payments to ISO 20022 without replacing its whole core
  • A payroll or HR software company adding embedded banking to its product
  • A payment service provider needing a ledger and accounts under its existing licence

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Skaleet.

  • The installed base is in the tens rather than the hundreds, so the pool of consultants and systems integrators who know the platform is small and expensive.
  • Speed references are mostly greenfield launches inside large groups, which is an easier problem than migrating an existing book off a legacy core.
  • It is European-centric, with payment rails and regulatory work concentrated on SEPA and EU requirements rather than global coverage.
  • As a smaller vendor carrying a bank core, it attracts hard concentration and viability questions in procurement that larger competitors do not face.
  • Pricing is unpublished and scaled by accounts and transactions, so a bank whose volumes grow faster than forecast faces cost escalation it did not model.

Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

What was Skaleet called before?

TagPay. The company rebranded to Skaleet while keeping the same platform lineage.

Can I buy just the payment hub?

Yes. The payment engine is licensable standalone and can sit over an existing core, which is a common first step.

How fast are real deployments?

Named European deployments have gone live in six to twelve months, including a Crédit Agricole savings platform live in Germany in eight months.
