Software for institutions handling real money.
Lending platforms, wallets and savings systems carry a different level of risk than a typical business app — a bug isn't just an inconvenience, it's someone's money. We scope every fintech build individually, with security review and audit trails built into the process, not added afterwards.
What makes fintech software different from a normal business app?
Software that touches real money — loans, savings, wallets — needs to track every transaction precisely, prevent fraud, and stand up to scrutiny from regulators or auditors. That means more careful planning, more testing, and built-in records of who did what and when. It takes longer and costs more than a typical app, but that discipline is what protects your institution and your members' money.

Our process, step by step
Discovery & compliance scoping
We talk through your institution's regulatory and compliance requirements before any design work starts.
Security-aware design
We design the system with audit trails, role separation and data protection built in from the start.
Build & internal review
We build the system with regular internal security reviews along the way, not just at the end.
Launch & ongoing support
We launch with close monitoring and stay on for ongoing support and security updates.
Banking and finance software for Kenya’s regulated workflows
Loan, savings and member systems with audit trails, role separation and reporting your board and supervisors can follow. Our Westlands team scopes fixed phases, documents ownership, and trains your staff so the system survives after go-live — not just demo day.
Whether you run a SACCO, MFI or early-stage fintech, we keep modules modular so you can start with loans and collections, then add member apps and M-Pesa without rewriting the core ledger.
Typical modules
Member onboarding, shares/savings, loan origination with guarantors, repayment schedules, arrears queues, SMS notices and management dashboards. We design for maker-checker approvals and exportable ledgers.
Compliance-minded delivery
Access control, immutable activity logs, Kenya Data Protection Act considerations and clear data residency choices. Integrations may include M-Pesa collections and member mobile apps.
Ballpark pricing
Figures below are planning ranges for Kenyan organisations; your signed proposal is authoritative. Ask for a written scope, timeline and fixed-price range before engineering starts.
- Focused lending/savings MVP: often from KES 800,000
- Full SACCO-style suites: multi-million KES programmes delivered in phases
- Ongoing support and change control: monthly SLA
Reporting your board will recognise
Portfolio at risk, collections ageing, member growth and product mix dashboards are designed with Kenyan SACCO/MFI language — not generic SaaS jargon. Exports support Excel workflows your accountants already use while you migrate off fragile sheets.
Security baseline
Password policy, optional 2FA for admins, IP allowlists where appropriate, encrypted backups and least-privilege roles. We train branch staff separately from head-office power users so permissions stay intentional.
