Written scope within 48 hours

Financial workflows break in the same places. We fix those first.

We build FinTech software for teams whose payments, ledgers or compliance flows have outgrown spreadsheets and rigid packages.

In FinTech, software is not overhead. Every hour spent reconciling a ledger by hand is an hour with a real number attached.

Where FinTech software breaks


Three problems we are called in to fix.

Almost every FinTech engagement we take on starts from one of these. Recognise yours and the rest of this page gets more useful.

  • Symptom 01

    The ledger does not tie out at close

    Payment gateway, bank feed and internal ledger each show a different number, and someone spends days each month finding the difference by hand.

    One reconciliation engine, one number everyone trusts

  • Symptom 02

    Fraud and compliance checks run too late

    Risk scoring, KYC checks and transaction monitoring get added after a product ships, so the controls a regulator expects are retrofitted under pressure.

    Controls designed in before launch, not audited in after

  • Symptom 03

    PCI-DSS scope keeps growing

    Every new feature that touches card data pulls another server into compliance scope, and the audit gets more expensive each year it is ignored.

    Tokenise early, keep card data off your servers

What we build for FinTech


Six systems that carry FinTech transactions.

We build the parts that differentiate you and integrate the parts that do not. Nothing here is a generic payment plugin with your logo on it.

  1. Payment processing & gateways

    Card, bank-rail and regional gateway integrations with retries, dunning and PCI-DSS scope handled by design.

  2. Ledger & reconciliation engines

    Automated matching across gateway, bank feed and internal ledger, with every mismatch logged and owned.

  3. KYC & fraud workflows

    Onboarding checks, transaction monitoring and manual-review queues built around your actual risk rules.

  4. Compliance & audit logging

    Immutable audit trails and reporting exports that make a regulator or auditor request a query, not a project.

  5. Core banking & open banking integration

    Connecting to core banking platforms, card processors and open banking APIs without duplicating data.

  6. Reporting & risk dashboards

    Real-time exposure, settlement and reconciliation reporting drawn from the ledger, not a spreadsheet export.

What changes


The three outcomes FinTech clients actually buy.

Nobody commissions software for its own sake. These are the results the work is measured against.

  • Ledger closes without a spreadsheet

    Reconciliation becomes an automated match, not a Monday-morning job.

  • Fraud caught before settlement, not after

    Risk rules run at authorisation, not as a post-mortem on a chargeback.

  • Audit requests take minutes, not days

    Every transaction carries its own trail, so evidence is a query away.

How it runs


Audit first, then ship payment rail by payment rail.

FinTech cannot afford a big-bang cutover on live money movement. We release incrementally so nothing settles wrong.

  1. Transaction & risk audit

    We map the payment and settlement flow end to end and find where money or hours actually leak.

    Week 1

  2. Written scope & price

    What we would build first, what it costs and what we would deliberately leave until later. Where the platform is one your customers log into, that plan covers multi-tenant SaaS from first release to scale.

    Within 48 hours

  3. Build in sprints

    Working software every two weeks, released channel by channel rather than in one risky cutover. Before any of it starts you get how we handle IP, NDAs and security in writing.

    Sprint by sprint

  4. Measure & extend

    Settlement accuracy, reconciliation time and fraud loss tracked after launch, then the next slice of roadmap.

    Post-launch

Proof


Payments and platform work we scoped, built and still support.

Different sectors, same discipline, and in each case the client owns the code.

How we work


A product engineering culture built on ownership and clarity.

The habits that decide whether software still works in year three. Here is the honest comparison: what most outsourced engagements look like, and what changes when you work with us.

How an engagement with QalbIT compares
The questionThe usual answerAt QalbIT
Who scopes itA salesperson, then a handover docThe founder and the engineer who will build it
Who writes the codeWhoever is on the bench that monthNamed senior engineers, in our office, no subcontractors

  • Principle 01

    Ownership over ticket-taking

    Engineers who ask why before they ask which framework. Scope questions come back before code goes out.

  • Principle 02

    Written over remembered

    Scope, estimates and architecture decisions are written down with the trade-off stated. Nobody relies on what was said on a call.

  • Principle 03

    Small over staffed

    Senior pods that hold the whole system in their heads beat large mixed teams that need a coordinator to function.

FAQs · FinTech


FinTech software development: frequently asked questions

PCI-DSS scope, reconciliation, integration timelines and who owns the code.

Ask us directly →
We design around it: tokenising card data at the gateway and keeping raw card numbers off your servers wherever possible, so your PCI-DSS scope stays as small as the architecture allows. We are not a compliance auditor, and a QSA assessment is still yours to commission.
Yes. Stripe, PayPal, regional gateways and most bank-rail APIs are integrations we have built before. The rules for retries, reconciliation and settlement are written down and tested rather than assumed.
We build onboarding, transaction monitoring and manual-review workflows around the risk rules and vendor you already use or want to adopt, rather than shipping a generic rules engine.
A focused first release, a reconciliation engine or a payment integration, typically lands in the mid four to low five figures USD, moving with the number of gateways, ledgers and compliance requirements involved. You get a written range within 48 hours.
Six to twelve weeks for a first release, depending on how many systems it has to reconcile against. A clickable prototype comes in the first two weeks.
You do, from day one: repositories, cloud accounts and IP in your name under NDA, with commit access from the first sprint.
Most fintech clients keep a small standing team for monitoring, reconciliation exceptions and new integrations. It is optional, with 30 days notice.
