Project Summary

Distillery built an iOS MVP for a 529 education-savings fintech app, integrating Quovo for bank account authentication and Stripe for billing. They conducted 1.5 months of R&D, researched 529 providers and third-party integrations, and delivered a live app that passed a 100-user beta with positive feedback. The vendor provided strong project management, prompt responsiveness, and added resources when needed.

Key Challenges

  • Needed a partner with Fintech expertise to execute the prototype
  • Required technical resources to complement the founder's business and finance background
  • Had to reduce feature scope to deliver an MVP within budget

Project Deliverables

  • MVP iOS app
  • Bank account authentication integration (Quovo)
  • Billing integration (Stripe)
  • Research on 529 providers and third-party integration requirements
  • Backend development and QA

Project Solution

Distillery reviewed existing prototypes, scoped and prioritized features to deliver an MVP within budget, and carried out a month-and-a-half research and development phase. They researched 529 providers and identified needed third-party services, selecting Quovo for bank account authentication and Stripe for billing. The vendor implemented the iOS app and backend integrations, provided QA and project management, handled third-party APIs, and added a product manager resource when the team identified the need.

Project Outcome

  • The app is live
  • Successful beta test with 100 users and positive feedback
  • Onboarding process averages five minutes
  • Few bugs reported during beta and quick resolution of a third-party (Quovo) issue
  • Strong adoption signaled by a high number of installs
