Software, cloud and security for US fintech companies

Fintech projects are strict: regulators, bank partners and customers expect security, auditability and uptime from the first release. We bring a practical, engineering-led approach to building and running financial products in the United States.

Challenges we see

Fintechs move quickly; the environment around them does not forgive shortcuts.

Compliance arriving late

Identity, monitoring, records and reporting bolted on after launch, when change is hardest.

Partner due diligence

Sponsor banks, card networks and processors send long questionnaires and want evidence.

Integration sprawl

Processors, identity, core banking, accounting, aggregators: each its own API and failure modes.

Cloud security and cost

Built for speed: broad permissions, unclear environments, rising bills.

Fraud and takeover

Credential stuffing, synthetic identities and social engineering at onboarding and payout.

Engineers doing IT

Laptops, SaaS accounts, access reviews and incidents alongside product work.

More detail
  • Product engineering builds web platforms, APIs and back-office tools with audit trails, role-based access, maker-checker approvals and data retention designed in, not added later.
  • US cloud regions are used where residency matters.
  • Integration retry logic, reconciliation and alerting mean failed transactions do not disappear silently.
  • For the company itself, managed IT also covers system design and networking, software license management, hardware procurement and inventory, and on-site systems maintenance where your agreement includes it.
  • The virtual CIO provides strategic assessments, gap analysis and project management.

Your company IT: a remote 24/7 help desk for managed-service clients and a virtual CIO as you scale. Your engineers: we take infrastructure, integrations or security while they build the product, with shared repositories and clear ownership.

AI features with controls. Document checks and customer assistants built through generative AI development with evaluation, access control and audit logs, plus AI governance reviews. Where records must not leave your environment, open-weight models on servers you control.

US regulatory context

AreaWhat applies
AML and FinCENMoney services businesses, including many payment and remittance companies, register with FinCEN and keep a Bank Secrecy Act AML program: customer identification, record keeping, reporting suspicious and certain large transactions, ongoing monitoring. Systems must capture and retain it reliably.
State licensingMoney transmission and lending are generally licensed state by state, each with its own security, record-keeping and reporting rules. Confirm them with counsel for each state where you operate.
Consumer financial dataOpen banking has been shaped by the CFPB's Section 1033 rulemaking (Dodd-Frank Act) and industry standards. Status and timelines keep changing: check current requirements with your legal adviser.
PCI DSSApplies if you store, process or transmit cardholder data; good architecture can shrink scope.
Security and privacyGLBA Safeguards Rule; NYDFS Part 500 for New York-regulated companies. Privacy under GLBA, the FTC Act and state laws; every state has a breach notification law.
Bank partnersSponsor banks supervised by federal regulators apply the interagency third-party risk guidance and the FFIEC IT Examination Handbook to fintech partners; expect them to flow down to you.
