Frequently Asked Questions

What do you need to know before starting any FinTech project?

Before starting any FinTech app development project, you need to familiarize yourself with legal requirements from state and federal governments along with those of industry regulators. For example, the FDIC requires due diligence around application security controls and incident response — if apps don’t meet these expectations, businesses could find themselves facing fines or regulatory sanctions.

Specific states, meanwhile, may also have FinTech app requirements. Consider California’s CCPA, which lays out regulations for the collection, use and retention of consumer data. Failure to take this rule into account could lead to legal challenges.

When planning the app, ask yourself: “What is my vision and what is the problem I am trying to solve?” Make sure you focus on who and what are you building this application for. Understand what differentiates your app and business model from the competition and what makes your solution(s) better. This information will be also valuable when it is time to market your app.

What should you consider when incorporating blockchain or cryptocurrency into your app?

Blockchain and cryptocurrency are hot topics in the FinTech world. As a result, many firms are looking for ways to incorporate these frameworks into their financial applications. Before building out blockchain or creating room for cryptocurrency, however, it’s worth asking some key questions:

  • Is there a legitimate use case for blockchain in your application?
    • Building in blockchain adds considerable time and effort to your development project. This means it’s worth defining your use case before beginning a blockchain effort: How will this technology be used? What are the direct benefits to your business? To your customers? If you don’t have a specific use for blockchain, it may not be worth the cost.
  • What characteristics does your solution need, and do they align with blockchain?
    • If you identify a potential use case for blockchain, it’s worth taking a more in-depth look at your application and its characteristics to determine if it’s a good fit overall.
    • In practice, this means that if your application needs data immutability, transparency and the ability to foster trust among multiple apps, blockchain frameworks may be your best choice. If your solution requires large amounts of static data storage, the ability to adapt quickly as regulations evolve and the capacity to handle high-volume, high-value transactions, however, you may be better served without a blockchain build.
    • It’s also worth considering the nature of your potential blockchain system: Would it be privately held, or would it require public verification? Depending on the nature of data stored and handled by your application, even anonymized public transaction data may pose regulatory challenges.
    • Finally, companies should assess any performance requirements related to transaction speed and security and ensure that blockchain systems can meet these needs.

What are some best practices for designing FinTech apps?

When it comes to designing FinTech apps, start with best practices such as:

  • Define your minimum viable product (MVP): Your MVP is a version of your product with enough features and functions that it can be rolled out to early adopters to collect their feedback and help inform necessary improvements.
  • Integrate usability testing: Usability testing evaluates the interactions of real users with your application or service to identify potential pain points.
  • Map use journeys: The user journey from initial app onboarding to education and engagement is critical for FinTech app success. The more you know about user journeys, the better you can build applications that drive sustained user interest.
  • Prioritize rapid prototyping: Rapid prototyping allows you to quickly collect user feedback on multiple iterations of your MVP and assess the impact of changes.
  • Leverage user feedback surveys: Regular feedback surveys provide insight into how users are interacting with your application and where they’re encountering challenges.

What are the best ways to maintain user engagement?

User engagement is critical for sustained FinTech application success — if no one is using your app, it won’t deliver on potential ROI. Some popular ways to maintain user engagement include:

  • Gamification: Offering badges, points or other game-based rewards can help keep engagement high.
  • Personalization: Personalized content and recommendations increase the likelihood that users will keep coming back.
  • Feedback collection: Surveys and other feedback collection methods keep users in the loop and help instill confidence that app improvements will continue.
  • Timely content creation: Regular and relevant content creation gives users a reason to come back and discover what’s new.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid for FinTech apps?

It’s also important for FinTech app designs to avoid common pitfalls that can undermine efficacy and compromise security, including:

  • Not designing around your end user: Apps that aren’t designed with end users in mind may quickly find themselves with no users at all.
  • Not keeping it simple: Complex and cumbersome apps encourage users to leverage other, simpler tools to complete key tasks.
  • Not having clear goals and objectives: Lacking clear goals for app design and development can result in apps that do a bit of everything but nothing very well.
  • Not making regulatory compliance a priority: If compliance is not built into initial app development, you may end up spending significant amounts of time and money to fix issues after your FinTech app goes live.
  • Not thinking about your future product roadmap: Without a roadmap for future developments, your app remains static, even as user expectations evolve.

What costs can I expect on a FinTech mobile app?

Costs for a FinTech mobile app start with design and development. Whether you’re using in-house talent or leveraging a reputable third-party provider, the amount of time and effort required to design, prototype, test and refine applications translates directly into cost.

The caveat? This cost is different for every firm. Depending on the nature of your application and its features — such as the ability to support blockchain and cryptocurrency — your total costs will vary. As a result, it’s hard for many firms to pin down a specific cost or determine if this cost is reasonable.
