Client's Testimonial

"Developers.dev wasn't just a vendor; they were the strategic engineering partner that enabled our launch. Their FinTech pod brought a level of security expertise and process rigor that would have taken us years to build internally. They delivered on every promise."

Sarah Jenkins, CTO, FinSecure Capital.

Client Overview

FinSecure Capital is a fast-growing, US-based Series B startup aiming to disrupt the traditional banking sector with a user-friendly, mobile-first platform. Before partnering with us, they had a strong vision and funding but lacked the specialized in-house engineering talent to build a secure, scalable, and compliant application quickly enough to seize their market opportunity.

Problem

FinSecure needed to launch a feature-rich native iOS and Android banking app within four months to onboard their first wave of customers. The app required biometric authentication, real-time transaction processing, and ironclad security to protect sensitive user data and meet stringent financial regulations.

Key Challenges

Talent Scarcity

Inability to hire experienced mobile and backend fintech developers locally within the required timeframe.

Regulatory Compliance

The need to adhere to complex financial regulations (e.g., PCI DSS) from day one.

Speed to Market

An aggressive 4-month timeline from concept to App Store submission.

Security Risks

The immense risk of data breaches and the need for a highly secure architecture.

Our Solution

We deployed our FinTech Mobile Pod, a cross-functional team of 8 experts.

🤝 Dedicated Team

Provided a curated team including 2 iOS (Swift) developers, 2 Android (Kotlin) developers, 2 Backend (Java/Spring Boot) engineers, 1 QA Automation engineer, and 1 dedicated Project Manager.

🔒 Security-First Architecture

Designed and implemented a microservices-based backend with end-to-end encryption, secure API gateways, and proactive threat modeling.

⚡ Agile Execution

Ran the project in two-week sprints, providing full transparency with daily stand-ups and weekly demos to ensure alignment with FinSecure's product team.
