Confidently migrate at scale
With Episode Six, you don’t have to choose between progress and stability.
The risks holding banks back from migrating
Every bank knows that a failed migration can mean career-ending consequences, reputational damage, and millions in losses.
Our Values
Reputational risk
downtime or failed transactions can be visible in minutes on social media.
Financial cost
Tier 1 migrations often run into the tens of millions, with overruns common.
Resource constraints
internal migration expertise is scarce, leading to reliance on expensive consultants.
Operational complexity
decades-old portfolios, undocumented products, and exceptions make migration brittle.
Our migration successes
Episode Six has completed some of the largest, most complex migrations in the industry.
Our team brings decades of migration experience and a deep understanding of the failure points that derail large projects — from cryptographic keys and PCI data handling to exceptions buried in legacy documentation. With dozens of successful migrations, our playbooks are built to anticipate and mitigate risk before it becomes a problem.
3M+ cards migrated with staged cutovers.
700K credit, debit and prepaid cards migrated, including complex rationalization.
multiple successful implementations across prepaid, debit, and commercial programs.
Speed and agility without risk
Legacy vendors often require 18–36 months. Episode Six completes prepaid and debit migrations in 6–9 months (credit programs in approximately 12 months).
-
Cloud-native agility means environments spin up in hours, not weeks.
-
Progress depends on how quickly your team can move — not vendor bottlenecks.
-
Faster time-to-value unlocks earlier cost savings and revenue growth.

Built for Tier 1 complexity
Episode Six is designed for the unique challenges of Tier 1 banks:
-
Millions of cards and multi-product portfolios.
-
PCI and cryptographic expertise to protect the riskiest data.
-
Proven global scale: 30+ markets and over 15 AWS regions.
- Seamless coexistence with legacy systems until full cutover.
Continuous risk mitigation in action
Risk management isn’t a stage — it’s ongoing throughout the program. Our risk management program involves:
-
Continuous testing, validation, and reconciliation.
-
High-availability design: no downtime for updates or releases.
-
Coordinated cutover slots with schemes to minimize impact.
-
Rapid incident response — even complex issues resolved in minutes.
Why now?
The cost of delay grows the longer you wait to migrate.
Legacy platforms are expensive to maintain, falling behind regulatory and competitive demands, and holding your business back. Regulators expect resilience. Customers expect speed. Competitors are already launching faster. Modernization is no longer optional — it’s a necessity for your bank.
