A fintech company formed as a joint venture between two established financial service providers in the UAE. Its goal was to make everyday financial transactions simpler by offering a full suite of services through one cloud-based application on mobile and web.
The client needed a scalable fintech platform that brought several financial services into one application. The core requirements were:
a) A secure, easy-to-use e-wallet.
b) Integration with multiple payment gateways.
c) Merchant payment capabilities.
d) Utility bill payments.
e) Mobile recharge across multiple operators.
f) Real-time notifications and full transaction history.
01
Create one platform offering a wide range of financial services.
02
Keep every transaction secure and reliable for users.
03
Make the experience simple, with real-time notifications and clear history.
04
Build an architecture that can add services as the business grows.
05
Give the joint venture a credible digital product in a competitive market.
Requirement analysis: working sessions with the client to define services, users and regulatory expectations.
Design: wireframes and clickable prototypes to test the user journey before development.
Development: iterative builds integrating each financial service, with security and performance tested throughout.
Testing: functional, security and device testing to remove defects before release.
Deployment: launch on mobile and web, followed by monitoring and regular updates.
Market research: confirmed strong demand for one platform handling several transaction types.
User feedback: input from prospective users shaped features and usability.
Security assessment: reviews of data protection and transaction security before launch.
Pixbit designed and built a mobile and web application covering the full set of required services:
01
A secure digital wallet for storing funds, topping up and transferring money between users.
02
Connections to multiple payment gateways so users can fund and pay in the way that suits them.
03
In-store and online merchant payments, giving the client a fee-earning merchant network.
04
Bill payments for utilities from inside the app, with receipts stored against each account.
05
Prepaid recharge across multiple telecom operators.
06
Real-time alerts for every transaction and a searchable history for users and support staff.
The result is one application where users hold funds, pay merchants and bills, recharge phones and track every transaction, backed by a security model designed in from the first sprint.
Revenue: new income from service fees, subscription plans and merchant fees.
Market reach: a broad user base and partnership opportunities with banks, telecom providers and utility companies.
