Our verdict
S-PRO combines Swiss on-site consulting with nearshore engineering in Poland and Ukraine, and it is a Certified partner in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network. It suits a bank or fintech that wants regulated AI and product engineering with a Zurich leadership team, and it is less suited to a US buyer who needs a large onshore American delivery bench.
The right buyer
- Swiss and European banks and fintechs that need AI inside regulated workflows, with ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification (about page).
- Buyers who want Claude-certified engineers under Swiss product ownership, not a pure offshore staff-augmentation shop (about page; hybrid-model interview).
- Companies that prefer a fixed-scope proof of concept before a larger build, which is how S-PRO says it starts most new AI work (hybrid-model interview).
Reasons to look elsewhere
- Most of its engineering sits in Poland and Ukraine, so a buyer who needs all work done in Switzerland or the US should look elsewhere.
- Published pricing is not on the site.
S-PRO, At A High Level
Igor Izraylevych and Andrew Fisiuk founded S-PRO in 2014 in Ukraine and later moved the headquarters to Zurich. The firm grew from five developers to more than 300 employees, including more than 250 engineers, with offices and hubs in Switzerland, Poland, the Netherlands, and the United States (about page; finews).
- Headquartered in Zurich, with delivery hubs in Poland and Ukraine and offices in the Netherlands and Utah (about page).
- More than 300 employees and more than 250 engineers; we estimate annual revenue at $22 million to $30 million (about page).
- A Certified partner in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network, with Claude-certified engineers and architects (about page).
- Client work includes a B2B digital banking platform for New Horizon Bank in production since December 2025, an AI Zendesk support agent for a German neobroker, and a Microsoft 365 Copilot and private-data AI rollout for a Swiss private bank (about page; team page).

Where S-PRO fits
S-PRO is used by Swiss and European banks, wealth managers, and fintechs that want product engineering and AI agents built under Swiss leadership with nearshore capacity. On price it is a mid-market European specialist, above pure offshore shops and below global systems integrators. Competitors on this site include ML6 for European AI engineering, Unit8 for data and AI in Europe, and Neurons Lab for regulated AI builds.
| Need | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| AI agents or Copilot inside a Swiss bank | Strong | Private-bank Copilot work and Claude Partner Network Certified status. |
| A B2B banking or wealth product build | Strong | New Horizon Bank and other fintech platforms are listed as clients. |
| A US-only onshore delivery team | Weak | Engineering hubs are mainly in Poland and Ukraine. |
| A short AI proof of concept before a larger program | Good | It says new AI work often starts with a focused PoC workshop. |
What clients and leaders say
S-PRO’s leaders and clients describe its work in published announcements. One buyer concern is written from public facts about the firm.
“The real bottleneck isn’t the technology – it already exists and can be used. The real challenge is the organization’s ability to let go of old ways of thinking and move from a proof of concept (PoC) into real, production-level operations.”
“Our model brings together Swiss leadership and nearshoring engineering. That combination gives clients the best of both worlds: speed and reliability.”
“Switzerland is one of the most innovative countries in the world. Given this, the country should strive to develop a game-changing financial solution like Revolut or Wise.”
“Swiss consultants ran the workshops well, but most of the engineers were in Poland, so we had to get comfortable with that delivery split before we signed.”
Where customer reviews couldn’t be found, our analysts attempted to give a voice to buyer sentiment, drawing on real information from review sites, forums and product documentation. Based on: S-PRO hybrid-model interview, which describes Swiss leadership with nearshore hubs in Poland and Ukraine.
