Finacle Data Archiving, Done Right
Archon’s Finacle Connector extracts structured data from Infosys Finacle’s Oracle or SQL Server database environment, archiving customer, account, transaction, loan, deposit, and product records into ADS. Historical Finacle data becomes immediately searchable and retrievable via Archon Analyzer without Finacle licenses or infrastructure remaining active.
Whether you’re migrating from Finacle to a next-generation core banking platform, consolidating acquired banks with Finacle instances, or facing a central bank examination requiring transaction records from five years prior, Archon handles the Finacle-specific extraction complexity and applies jurisdiction-specific retention schedules across RBI, MAS, CBUAE, and PRA/FCA regulatory frameworks.
- JDBC extraction from Oracle DB or MS SQL Server Finacle backends
- Core Banking, Loans, Deposits, Trade Finance, Treasury, and CRM module coverage
- Finacle module metadata, schema definitions, and field descriptions preserved
- Cross-application search via Archon Analyzer, no Finacle license post-archive
- Jurisdiction-specific retention policies: RBI, MAS, CBUAE, FCA
Capabilities
Everything You Need for Finacle Data Operations
Core Banking Module Extraction
Archon extracts all Finacle core banking modules, including customer master, account records, transaction history, loan accounts, deposit products, trade finance operations, and treasury while preserving relational integrity and metadata. No Finacle API keys or custom COBOL extraction is needed.
Regulatory Retention for APAC, MENA, and UK Markets
Archived Finacle data in ADS supports RBI 10-year transaction retention requirements (India), MAS Notice 637 (Singapore), CBUAE regulations (UAE), and PRA/FCA rules (UK). WORM immutability, cryptographic hashing, and trusted timestamps ensure transaction records meet evidentiary standards.
AML and Financial Crime Investigation
Historical Finacle transaction patterns, customer profiles, and account relationship data are searchable via Archon Analyzer for financial crime investigations. Surface specific transaction chains, counterparty relationships, and account activity without a live Finacle system.
GDPR and Data Protection Compliance
GDPR, India DPDP Act, and Singapore PDPA data subject requests are fulfilled at the customer record level. This includes selective removal of PII fields from archived Finacle records while maintaining transaction integrity required for AML and tax legislation.
Use Cases
How Enterprises Use the Finacle Connector
01 Core Banking Platform Migration
Banks migrating from Finacle to Thought Machine Vault, Mambu, or Oracle FLEXCUBE need the complete Finacle customer and transaction history archived before cutover. Archon extracts the full record set, applies jurisdiction-specific retention schedules, and eliminates the need to keep Finacle live for compliance access.
02 Post-Merger Bank Consolidation
Acquisition activity frequently results in multiple Finacle instances from different entities. Archon consolidates Finacle archives from acquired banks into a unified ADS repository, resolving schema differences and preserving the complete regulatory record for each legal entity.
03 Central Bank Examiner Access
Central bank and financial regulator examinations require access to account history, transaction records, and customer data from multiple years prior. Archon surfaces Finacle records on demand, avoiding the need to reactivate Finacle or maintain license overhead for limited access scenarios.
04 AML and Sanctions Investigation
Financial crime investigations require rapid retrieval of historical transaction patterns, customer due diligence records, and account relationship data. Archon Analyzer provides investigative teams with direct search access to archived Finacle data, reducing dependency on IT teams or live systems.
