EQ Bank Modernization

Transforming Canada's leading digital bank with a cloud-native data architecture.

The Challenge

EQ Bank, known for its high-interest savings accounts and seamless digital experience, was facing a data bottleneck. Their on-premise legacy data warehouse was struggling to handle the volume of transactions from their rapidly growing customer base. Daily reporting jobs were taking 4+ hours, often failing and delaying critical business insights.

Our Solution

Delta Data Tech partnered with EQ Bank to execute a complete data platform modernization. We chose Snowflake as the target data cloud due to its separation of storage and compute.

  • Migration: Migrated 50TB of historical transaction data from Oracle to Snowflake.
  • Pipeline Engineering: built robust ELT pipelines using dbt (data build tool) and Fivetran to automate data ingestion from core banking systems.
  • Governance: Implemented Row-Level Security (RLS) and dynamic data masking to ensure PII compliance.

The Outcome

The results were transformative. Daily reporting time was slashed from 4 hours to 15 minutes. The data engineering team, freed from maintenance toil, shifted focus to high-value analytics.

Key Metrics

  • 40% Faster data processing speed.
  • 99.9% Data pipeline uptime.
  • $200k Annual infrastructure cost savings.
