Skaleet Recognized in Gartner’s 2026 Magic Quadrant for Banking Payment Hub Platforms

Paris, France - January 22, 2026 - Today Skaleet is thrilled to announce our recognition in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Banking Payment Hub Platforms. 

In a market traditionally dominated by large, legacy platforms, we have stood out for our focus on speed of implementation, real-time, and scalability in a demanding and very visible industry. 

The Skaleet Payment Engine, available as a standalone product or integrated as a module of the core banking product, is a turnkey solution for regulated players who want to delegate orchestration and compliance, by removing the complexity of bank connectivity, so they can focus on their customers.  From payment initiation to reconciliation including screening, routing, and compliance, Skaleet orchestrates the full payment lifecycle.

Skaleet is building the leading paneuropean next-gen core banking solution. Designed first and foremost for the European market, the Skaleet Payment Engine is deeply rooted in the SEPA ecosystem and its regulatory, operational, and real-time constraints.

Skaleet’s Payment Engine is built on three core pillars:

• Full Payment Orchestration: Validation, screening, exception handling, reporting, routing, approvals, payment scheduling, and reconciliation.
• Embedded Bank Connectivity: Skaleet’s Gateway module manages sponsor bank and CBS connections, supports local format specifics, rulebook updates, and payment investigations.
• Flexible Payment Initiation: Whether through ISO 20022, CSV, or API, clients choose their input method, and Skaleet translates and routes accordingly.

The Skaleet Payment Engine is in production by several financial institutions across Europe, who’ve both integrated to SCT Inst in as little as six weeks or running millions of daily payment operations, processing billions of euros. 

We hold the view that being included in the Magic Quadrant reflects the growing maturity of our Skaleet Payment Engine and its alignment with evolving market expectations around scalability and real-time payments. In our opinion, this inclusion reflects the growing importance of payments as a strategic capability for banks and disruptors. 

Combined with Skaleet’s core banking solutions, we further feel that this recognition positions Skaleet as an enabler for institutions looking to modernize their core and/or payment infrastructures on a scalable, cloud-native foundation.
