Mobile App Development
Mobile App Development for Finance & Fintech
Financial apps carry the highest trust burden of any app category — users are granting access to their bank accounts, investment portfolios, or payment instruments. Security, reliability, and transparency aren't differentiators in fintech apps; they're the baseline from which the product is evaluated.

Mobile App Development for financial services firms and fintech companies comes with industry-specific constraints that a generic agency won't anticipate.
- 1
Jailbreak and root detection is mandatory for any app accessing financial accounts — compromised devices must be refused access gracefully
- 2
Certificate pinning prevents man-in-the-middle attacks on financial API calls but requires a managed rotation strategy
- 3
Biometric authentication with secure enclave key storage is the expected standard — password-only auth fails enterprise security reviews
- 4
Financial apps are a prime target for screenshot and screen recording attacks — sensitive data screens need overlay protection
Our Approach for Finance & Fintech
Security is the first sprint, not the last. We implement OWASP Mobile Top 10 controls before building any features, and conduct a security review before App Store submission.
Outcomes for Finance & Fintech
- Apps that pass financial enterprise security assessments (common requirement for B2B fintech)
- Plaid Link, Open Banking, and brokerage API integrations with proper token refresh and revocation handling
- Biometric + secure enclave authentication that meets PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication requirements for EU markets
Deliverables
- iOS and Android application
- UI/UX design system
- API integration and backend services
- App Store / Play Store submission
- Analytics and crash reporting setup
Questions from Finance & Fintech
- How do you handle Plaid integration for bank connectivity?
- We implement Plaid Link with proper token exchange, webhook handling for account updates, and graceful re-authentication flows when tokens expire. We also implement Plaid's identity verification where required by your compliance team.
- Can you build a trading or investment app?
- Yes. We've built apps integrating with broker-dealer APIs (Alpaca, DriveWealth, Interactive Brokers) for investment apps, including real-time quotes, order management, and portfolio tracking.
