## What the story says

Swedbank uses Split feature flags (now part of Harness) to standardize release management across its frontend, backend, and mobile development teams. This lets teams deploy independently, roll out features gradually with canary releases, and toggle features off if problems arise.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Harness and Swedbank, not ours.

> By integrating Split across 50+ teams—ranging from mobile to backend—Swedbank was able to standardize feature flag management and introduce safer, more frequent releases.

> Split’s platform has been key to us achieving faster releases with less risk. As we continue to grow and scale, it will remain a vital part of our software development process.
