New Create AI Agent

A fintech product is three products: the one users see, the ledger that must never be wrong, and the controls a regulator will ask about. Next Olive has shipped wallets, lending platforms, trading apps and payment systems for banks, NBFCs, brokers and startups in the US, UK, Gulf, Southeast Asia and India — with the ledger and the controls designed before the first screen.

We work alongside your compliance advisers to translate regulatory expectations into technical design: KYC/AML vendor integration, audit trails, data residency, encryption and reporting.

Frequently asked questions

How much does fintech app development cost?

A wallet or lending MVP typically costs $40,000–90,000; a full neo-banking or trading platform $120,000–300,000+. Ledger, KYC and security work is a larger share of the budget than in other apps — we itemise it in the quote.

Do you handle licensing or regulatory approval?

No — we build the technology and documentation to the regulator's technical expectations and work with your legal/compliance advisers who handle licensing.

Which payment gateways and KYC vendors do you integrate?

Stripe, Adyen, Razorpay, PayTabs, Telr, Checkout.com and regional gateways; Onfido, Sumsub, Jumio, Signzy and others for KYC — chosen for your markets.

Can you build a crypto exchange?

Yes — matching engine, wallets, KYC tiers, fiat on/off-ramps and admin — with security reviews at each milestone.

How do you keep the ledger correct?

Double-entry design, idempotent APIs, nightly reconciliation against gateways and banks, and immutable audit logs. We test with adversarial scenarios (double submits, partial failures) before launch.

How long does a fintech MVP take?

12–20 weeks for a wallet or lending MVP including KYC and payments; trading platforms 5–8 months.

Is the code PCI compliant?

We design so card data never touches your servers (tokenised gateways), which keeps your PCI scope minimal; where you must be in scope we build to the applicable requirements.

Can you work with our existing core banking system?

Yes — we integrate with core-banking and BaaS APIs (Finacle, Temenos, Mambu, Thought Machine and others) and build the customer-facing layer on top.
