What we build
The pieces of a financial product, built to fit together.
Most engagements start with one of these. Each is built to plug into the rest, and into whatever you already run.
Onboarding and KYC journeys
Sign-up flows with identity checks, screening and document capture wired in.
Customer portals and apps
Accounts, cards, payments and statements in web and mobile apps people can actually use.
Payment and ledger integrations
Acquirers, banking APIs and open banking, with a ledger that reconciles.
Back-office and operations tools
Case management, approvals and reporting screens for the people running the business.
Data, reporting and returns
Pipelines and dashboards that turn transaction data into management and regulatory reporting.
Marketing sites and growth stack
Fast websites, analytics, CRM plumbing and campaign tooling, built to be measured.

How we work
A discovery sprint first, then releases every two weeks.
Every engagement starts with a short, fixed-price sprint that ends in a blueprint you can build with anyone.

Working software every two weeks, demoed and reviewed.
- 04
Run
Monitoring, upkeep and the next features, on a monthly plan.
Sectors
Built for products that move money.
Payments, banking, lending, wealth, digital assets and insurance. Each has systems to connect and rules to respect, and we plan for both.
We are a software company, not a law firm or a compliance consultancy. We build within the rules you work under and make your advisers' sign-off easier.
Payments and e-money
Payment institutions, e-money issuers, card programmes and payout platforms. Integrations with acquirers, schemes and banking partners, with reconciliation that holds up.
Digital banking and lending
Neobanks, lenders and buy-now-pay-later providers. Onboarding, decisioning and servicing flows built around the checks you have to run.
Wealth and investment platforms
Trading, savings and advice platforms. Data feeds, reporting and disclosures handled as product requirements.
Digital assets
Exchanges, custodians and on-chain payment services. Screening, travel rule and wallet integrations built in from day one.
Insurance and insurtech
Brokers, MGAs and digital insurers. Quote, bind and claims journeys with consent and disclosure steps in the flow.
Regtech and financial infrastructure
KYC, monitoring, reporting and API-first providers. We integrate with your product and build the tools your customers ask for.
Other industries
E-commerce and wholesale, logistics, professional services and software start-ups: connecting the CRM, ERP, e-commerce and accounting tools they already use.

Four ways to work with us, each agreed in writing first.

- A payment, banking or KYC integration
- A marketing site and growth stack
Dedicated team
Named engineers on a monthly plan.
Best for
- Running and improving a live platform
- Engineering cover while you hire
- A growing backlog of features and integrations
Fractional CTO
Senior technical judgement, part time.
Best for
- Founders without a technical co-founder
- Reviewing an outsourced team's work
- Investor, partner or regulator technical questions
Questions
Things people ask before they get in touch.
Short answers on fit, pricing and ownership.
What is a discovery sprint?
One to two weeks with your team that ends in a blueprint: architecture, integrations, release plan and estimate. It is the first step for anything new.
Do we have to build with you after the sprint?
No. The blueprint is yours. Build it with us, with your own team or with someone else.
Do you only work with financial businesses?
No. Financial products are our specialism, but we work with businesses in every industry, from e-commerce and logistics to professional services and start-ups.
Who owns the code, the cloud accounts and the data?
You do. Repositories, cloud accounts and vendor contracts are in your name from day one, and you keep everything when we finish.
