Hey everyone,
I’ve been diving deep into the top fintech app development companies this year, trying to find the right partner for a mid-size digital banking project. Thought I’d share my process and see what others think.
I started with a shortlist of about 10 companies – from big names like EPAM and Globant to more specialized firms like Zoolatech and Yalantis. My main criteria were:
Proven experience in
fintech application development company projects (not just generic apps)
Compliance knowledge (PCI DSS, GDPR, KYC, etc.)
Scalability and post-launch support
Transparent pricing and dedicated delivery teams
After about three weeks of research and a few discovery calls, I actually ended up choosing Zoolatech — and here’s why:
Fintech expertise: They had delivered a mobile banking app for a U.S.-based client with 1M+ active users and less than 0.3% crash rate — impressive stability.
Team quality: Their developers average 6+ years of experience, and they have ex-Intuit and PayPal engineers on staff.
Speed: Their initial PoC was ready in under 5 weeks, while another vendor estimated 8–10 weeks for the same scope.
Cost: Around 18–20% more affordable than the average quote from other top fintech app development companies I contacted.
Communication: Direct access to PMs and tech leads — no sales-layer bureaucracy.
We’ve been working together for about four months now, and the collaboration feels really solid. Curious to know:
Has anyone else here worked with Zoolatech or similar-sized fintech specialists?
Do you think it’s better to go with a niche fintech application development company or a large multi-industry vendor for long-term scaling?
