Project Summary

Surf was hired by a bank to develop a new Flutter mobile application and implement automated tests and test infrastructure. Within nine months they delivered the first release for smartphones and tablets with a broad feature set (authorization, product management, finances module, payments, analytics, support chat, ATM/branch reviews). The team updated the design, improved UX, and continues to release new features monthly; the first version was well received by users.

Key Challenges

Improve or replace the existing native app and implement test automation to reduce testing time and speed bug fixes
Decide to build a new Flutter application from scratch to provide a scalable and more cost-effective foundation than modifying the legacy app

Project Deliverables

Flutter mobile application for smartphones and tablets
Automated tests and test infrastructure
Authorization and registration flows
Product review and management modules (cards, accounts, deposits)
My Finances module
Payments and transfers (including automatic and favorite payments)
Operations and activities history and expenses analytics
In-app chat for customer support
ATM and branch review

Project Solution

Surf developed a Flutter application from scratch (rather than updating the native app), created automated tests and the supporting infrastructure, adapted and updated the design for Flutter, and implemented a comprehensive feature set for banking products including authorization flows, product setup, finance analytics, payments, support chat, and ATM/branch information. They provided end-to-end delivery with designers, PM, analysts, developers, and QA.

Project Outcome

Successfully launched the first version of the app
Users like it and rate it highly
Design updated and adapted to Flutter; UX improvements implemented
New features are released monthly as development continues
Reuse of this app's code reduced projected development time and cost for another bank by 70%
