BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service)
Banking-as-a-Service is a rather new model that is gaining momentum. In simple terms, BaaS is about the integration of digital banking services into non-banking products and solutions. It helps financial institutions and startups get more partners and engage more customers. At the same time, non-financial businesses can offer their customers digital banking services without their own banking licenses. Keep this trend in mind if you’re going to start your fintech software development process.
MVP Development
This trend will be relevant for many years to come. If you want to invest smartly into the fintech software development process, MVP development is the best solution for you. The main benefit is that MVP (Minimum Viable Product) usually contains the crucial features only and even so it can already be launched to the market and attract users and investors, help you gather feedback, and raise money.
Bonus info: how much will it cost you to develop a fintech software?
It’s hard to share precise numbers as fintech software development cost always depends on many factors. However, we can make an approximate evaluation based on one of our projects. This year, Perfsol has developed a loan app – MXNEY. The average rate for software development in Ukraine is $40/hr (in comparison, the average rate in the USA is $80-100 per hour). The project took approximately 800 hours to complete. So we can assume that the project cost is more than $30,000.
