About Bachir Succar

Transforming Financial Services Through Digital Banking & IT Consulting Excellence With over 18 years of experience in fintech, core banking, and payments, I have successfully led large-scale IT and digital transformation projects across international markets. My career has evolved naturally from software engineering and project delivery toward advisory and client-facing roles — helping financial institutions navigate complex change, modernize their systems, and optimize operations. My Expertise Includes: Core Banking & Payments – Deep experience with SWIFT, ISO 20022, RTGS, cheque clearing, and legacy modernization Operating Models & Architecture – Supporting the redesign of banking operating models and aligning system architecture with business processes to improve efficiency and user experience Digital Transformation & System Integration – Leading IT projects across departments to streamline workflows and ensure compliance Pre-Sales & Technical Advisory – Providing solution design, demos, and RFP responses to support business development Data Management – Designing data flows and governance models (e.g, NeoXam DataHub, Bloomberg, SIX) Regulatory Compliance – Knowledge of KYC, AML, FATCA and risk-sensitive implementation in banking IT Stakeholder Engagement & Leadership – Working closely with C-level executives and cross-functional teams to deliver strategic change What Drives Me I thrive on translating complex banking needs into practical, technology-enabled solutions. Rather than focusing on product ownership, I specialize in delivering impact through project delivery, consulting, and the strategic alignment of people, processes, and systems — particularly through the optimization of operating models and enterprise architecture. Currently open to consulting opportunities in Paris and across Europe, particularly in banking transformation, payments, core systems, and data management.
