Banking and Financial services change and transition experts.

We're driven to help banks, mutuals and financial services to digitally evolve and transition.

Banking and Financial services used to be built to last.
Today, they need to be built to change, they need to be composable.

At Sida4, we understand the need for proven digital solutions and services.

Whether you are a Bank or a Lender, traditional core systems deliver the same business barriers – poor integration, limited data access and time and cost barriers to change. There is no shortage of skills or tech, there is however a lack of clarity (and apprehension) on where and how to start.

We offer change options in manageable bites that deliver value at every step.

Our primary focus is on Data access, Data management, Data streaming, Governance and Automated reporting.

ROI-driven investment and effective delivery are about envisioning what’s possible and then harmonising people, process and technology.​ 4impact focuses on leading from the front to bring these elements together.​

Australian Mutual Banks share some common problems.

There are several key challenge 'themes' that have consistently arisen throughout our conversations and engagements in Australian banking.

  • Client Experience: Many are concerned that their current client experience is limited, with any improvements being costly and time-consuming to implement.

  • Systems: Their internal systems are outdated (legacy), disconnected, and labour-intensive, making maintenance costly and hindering business growth.
  • Profitability & Growth: Outdated IT systems are restricting their ability to modernise their operation and drive profitability.

  • Compliance: Staying up to date with regulatory changes is slow and expensive, as limited access to data often requires manual processes to gather the necessary information.
