How Wizall Money Gained Cost Transparency Without Disrupting Financial Operations?

Why Cloud Cost Transparency Is a Boardroom Priority 

For modern financial institutions, cloud transformation has unlocked new horizons of agility, innovation, and scale. But it has also introduced a hidden complexity—opaque cost structures that blur accountability and hinder financial planning. 

As companies scale across regions and services, one common pain point emerges: the inability to accurately trace cloud costs back to individual customers, tenants, or business units. Without this visibility, executives struggle to control spending, forecast accurately, or align IT investment with revenue impact. 

This is especially critical for FinTechs like Wizall Money operating in highly regulated, multi-regional markets. 

The FinTech Context: Complex, Multinational, and Growing 

Wizall Money is a mobile financial services provider serving customers across four West African countries: Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast. With diverse regional tenants and varied compliance regimes, their operational complexity demanded a high degree of cloud cost observability. 

Each tenant had unique requirements and usage patterns. Without proper cost isolation, billing was becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile. Leadership lacked visibility into which workloads were driving spend. And any disruption to their platform—even for a minute—would risk real-time financial transactions across borders. 

Their executive team needed a solution that addressed three key goals: 
   

1. Improve cost attribution down to the tenant level.
2. Ensure zero service disruption during the transformation.
3. Strengthen regulatory posture for data privacy and audit readiness.
   

The Strategic Solution: Multi-Tenant AWS Architecture, Delivered Seamlessly

Wizall Money partnered with Bankai Infotech to rearchitect its cloud environment with FinOps maturity and operational resilience at its core.

Over a 22-day transformation program, Bankai Infotech executed a phased migration from their legacy third-party setup to a robust, multi-tenant AWS infrastructure—without impacting end users.

Key solution elements included: 

Streamlined Production Migration:

A phased deployment strategy was adopted to gradually shift workloads, with robust testing, rollback plans, and continuous monitoring to eliminate risk. This allowed Wizall Money to maintain full-service availability throughout the project.

Multi-Account Tenant Isolation:

Using AWS organizations and separate child accounts, each tenant’s environment was logically isolated. This enabled precise cost tracking, enhanced security controls, and simplified tenant-specific reporting.

Security and Compliance-by-Design:

Advanced security features—such as IAM role-based access, data encryption in transit and at rest, and automated audit logging—were built into the architecture. This ensured compliance with financial data regulations in all four countries of operation.

Hands-On Knowledge Transfer:

Beyond the tech, the engagement included detailed workshops for Wizall Money’s IT staff. Bankai’s team enabled them to manage the new infrastructure autonomously, reducing long-term dependency on external vendors.

Scalable-by-Default Architecture:

With container orchestration (AWS ECS), managed RDS databases, and autoscaling policies in place, Wizall Money is now equipped to handle both steady growth and peak-load spikes efficiently.

Business Outcomes That Made a Difference 

This transformation didn’t just deliver engineering outcomes—it enabled business clarity and operational control at the leadership level.

When technology projects are truly successful, they don’t just deliver uptime—they deliver confidence. For Wizall’s executive leadership, the outcome was clarity, control, and peace of mind. 

Why This Story Matters for Leaders 

For CFOs, CTOs, and CIOs navigating cloud scale in financial services, Wizall Money’s journey serves as a playbook for FinOps transformation. The success shows precise, well-timed technology investments deliver business value. 

Whether you’re planning geographic expansion, struggling to track internal cost centers, or preparing for a regulatory audit, the ability to gain tenant-level visibility without business disruption is a competitive advantage. 

In today’s economic climate, where margins are under pressure and compliance requirements are only growing, cost intelligence isn’t just an IT concern—it’s an executive imperative. 

Next Step: See It for Yourself 

Are you evaluating ways to improve cloud cost governance and operational resilience? If so, start by examining how decisions are made in your current infrastructure. And if unpredictable bills, multi-tenant complexity, or looming audits are slowing your roadmap; it’s time to act.
