Due diligence questions you cannot answer
Partner banks and enterprise clients ask where chats are stored, who can access them and how long they are kept.

Troop Messenger is the encrypted team chat that keeps up with your engineers and stands up to your partner banks’ due diligence: messaging, calls, incident alerts and audit logs, live in the cloud within a day.

- Webhooks and REST APIs
- Audit logs and retention
Definition
What Is Secure Fintech Chat?
Secure fintech chat is a team messaging and calling platform designed for financial technology companies: end-to-end encrypted, centrally governed and auditable, with APIs and webhooks that bring system alerts into conversations. Troop Messenger provides this fintech collaboration layer for engineering, risk, operations and leadership, in the cloud or in your own infrastructure.
Fintechs move like software companies but are judged like financial institutions. Partner banks, regulators and investors increasingly ask how internal financial services messaging is secured, retained and controlled. Troop Messenger lets you answer with audit logs, retention policies, SSO, MFA and data residency, without slowing your teams down.

The problem
Why Generic Team Chat Falls Short in Fintech
Secure collaboration for financial services is now a due-diligence question. Most fintechs started on tools chosen for speed, not for scrutiny.
Alerts scattered across tools
Monitoring, payment gateway and fraud alerts land in email or dashboards, so incidents start late and context is lost.
Sensitive data in the wrong channel
Customer details, keys and credentials get pasted into chats that are neither encrypted end to end nor governed.
Growth outpaces access control
Contractors, vendors and departed staff keep access because nobody owns provisioning across tools.
