Project Summary

Helpware Tech (formerly eTeam) developed a secure Open Banking platform for a finance-lending client, handling scoping and development requirements and delivering the project in phased two-week sprints with demos. The vendor helped turn loosely defined requirements into a working product and established the platform within six months. Project management and communication (Slack, weekly meetings, bi-weekly demos) were highlighted as strengths.

Key Challenges

  • Build an online platform leveraging Open Banking to securely share prospective borrowers' banking data.
  • Ensure the platform is secure, streamlined, and extensible.
  • Enable lenders to make better credit decisions by verifying borrowers' ability to afford repayments.

Project Deliverables

  • Open Banking platform
  • Backend services (Golang)
  • Front-end application
  • QA testing
  • DevOps setup (part-time)
  • UX designs
  • Project management and scoping

Project Solution

The vendor assisted with scoping and developing requirements, converting loosely defined needs into a functioning Open Banking platform. They ran the work in phases using two-week sprints with demos at the end of each sprint, and provided project management, backend and frontend development, QA, part-time DevOps and UX support. The vendor was selected after evaluating outsourcing options and in-person meetings in Kiev.

Project Outcome

  • Went from zero to a working platform in six months.
  • Improved project management and communication via Slack, weekly meetings, and bi-weekly demos.
  • Delivered a high-quality product with vendor autonomy that eased the client's workload.
