CRM Migration Checklist for Fintech Companies

CRM migrations in fintech carry a risk most other industries don't have to plan around: customer records that intersect with KYC, AML, and audit requirements. A dropped field or a bad mapping isn't just an inconvenience — it can be a compliance gap.

Before any migration, we run a full field-mapping audit against both the source and target schema, flagging any field without a clear one-to-one mapping for manual review rather than an automated best-guess transform.

We run the legacy and new systems in parallel for a defined window — typically 2 to 4 weeks — reconciling record counts and key financial fields daily rather than trusting a single post-migration validation pass.

Access control and audit logging are configured in the new system before a single record is migrated, not after go-live. In a regulated environment, 'we'll set up permissions later' is a finding waiting to happen in your next audit.
