Our financial systems across the world have changed dramatically over the last decade, mostly due to fintech. From digital wallets to peer-to-peer lending, and from cryptocurrencies to personal finance management applications, fintech has changed how we control, spend and grow our money. 

However, one commonality across every successful fintech product is the cutting-edge technology behind it, smooth user experience, and strong security. Partnering with a professional development company that understands the regulatory and complex environment of financial technology is necessary if you are wanting to build a fintech app, including but not limited to banking, payments, investments, or insurance.

This blog will explore why fintech apps are booming, what features make a fintech platform successful, and why Device Doctor India is the best fintech app development company for safe transactions.

 

Why Fintech Apps Are the Future

The demand for fintech solutions is increasing rapidly. Here are a few reasons:

  • Digital-First Generation – Millennials and Gen Z prefer to manage their finances using mobile apps.
  • Increased Financial Inclusion – Fintech is bringing banking services to more individuals outside of the normal systems.
  • Contactless Payments – More than ever users want and demand secure and convenient means to pay for goods and services, especially now that we are in a post-pandemic world.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Fintech platforms eliminate the need for physical infrastructure
  • Innovation at Scale: Disruptive new business models such as BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) and robo-advisors are changing the dynamics of the finance sector.

Whether you are building a wallet, neobank or lending platform, you have a massive opportunity, yet bigger challenges.

The Challenges in Fintech App Development

Building a fintech app is nothing like building a generic app. Fintech apps require:

  • High level of security to protect assets and personal information
  • Compliance with regulations such as PCI-DSS, GDPR and RBI mandates
  • Seamless integration with banks, KYC providers and payment gateways
  • A flawless user experience to ensure users trust the app and adopt it
  • Real-time performance so that transactions are performed instantaneously and reliably

At this stage, working with an app development company is important.
