Project Summary

KODE took over development of a bank's MVP mobile application frontend, rebuilding parts of the architecture and delivering iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) clients while the client retained backend development. They built designs from paper screens and delivered a high-quality product that reached about 100,000 total users (roughly 50,000 monthly). The engagement began in May 2017 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

Restart development after terminating prior vendor due to pricing disagreements.
Rework the app’s architecture and scope, effectively rebuilding the MVP from scratch.
