Advanced technologies for mobile banking

Itransition can develop custom blockchain-based banking apps or integrate blockchain-powered features into your mobile banking software to improve operations security and transparency.

Cryptocurrency wallet

We design and develop mobile digital wallet solutions for your customers to store and manage cryptocurrency, swiftly convert it into other currencies, and make secure online payments.

P2P lending

We develop smart contract protocols and build decentralized mobile social lending platforms that connect borrowers with lenders directly. The apps allow them to enter into loan agreements and transfer cryptocurrency without the involvement of a financial institution.

AI & ML

Our data science engineers build and train bespoke AI and ML models and implement them into mobile banking apps, enhancing them with value-adding capabilities.

Predictive analytics

We implement AI-powered analytics features to analyze the state of the stock market or investment profitability and predict potential risks and outcomes of financial operations. Leveraging vast historical data sets, the latest business and political news, and research papers, ML models can paint an unbiased picture of upcoming market events and help make smart financial decisions.

Compliance management & fraud detection

We implement ML features that facilitate compliance operations, like know your customer (KYC) procedures, verifying user identity, and detecting inconsistencies in their information. We can also apply machine learning models to sift through mobile transactions, accurately identify suspicious or abnormal activity patterns in real time, and automatically put questionable financial operations on hold.

Personalized recommendations

We power banking apps with ML engines that interpret real-time and historical data on user behavior. Based on data analysis, the engine shares personalized product and service recommendations and tailors in-app advertising to match user preferences.

Elevated customer experience

Our engineers build voice-first interfaces, allowing users to manage their accounts and complete financial transactions with voice commands and use voice for biometric authentication. Additionally, we can implement intelligent chatbots to handle routine customer support requests and provide in-depth investment planning recommendations.

Our approach to mobile banking app security

Itransition prioritizes cybersecurity when building mobile banking solutions and makes applications safe and compliant by design.

Secure app design

Itransition considers mobile banking app security from the software planning stage, outlining the required security safeguards that should be implemented. Our engineers equip mobile banking applications with an array of security mechanisms to make financial software resistant to existing and emerging threats.

Security testing

When developing or modernizing a mobile banking app, our security engineers conduct a thorough analysis of the app's protection mechanisms and the safety of financial and user data handling. We root out any security faults, offer appropriate fixes, simulate hacking attacks to validate protection mechanisms, and address detected vulnerabilities.

Regulatory compliance

Depending on the banking company’s location and target audience, we equip mobile applications with relevant mechanisms to ensure their full compliance with the regional data privacy and security regulations, like GDPR, PCI DSS, FTC Act, PIPEDA, and others.

Our technology stack

Our experts choose a solid tech stack based on the app’s functionality, scalability, security, and flexibility requirements.

FAQ

What benefits will my company get from implementing a mobile banking app?

With a mobile app, a financial institution can automate banking operations, improve client experience and service accessibility, retain their customers with tailored offers, and enhance customer satisfaction. According to McKinsey, customers who regularly use a banking mobile app and/or website have the highest average satisfaction rate compared to those who don’t use digital banking channels often.

What can influence the costs of a mobile banking project?

First of all, the project cost depends on what operating systems your company wants to provide solutions for— iOS, Android, or both. In the latter case, developing two native mobile apps may increase expenses compared to developing a cross-platform app. Secondly, the desired functionality will also significantly influence the final costs. For example, a simple credit card management app will cost less than an investment management software with predictive analytics capabilities. Lastly, unique UI design and compliance with specific performance and compliance requirements can also increase a banking app’s costs.
