Hey everyone,
I’ve spent the last few months researching financial software development companies because our startup needed a partner to build a custom solution for digital payments and analytics. It’s been a surprisingly complex process — so I thought I’d share how I ended up choosing Zoolatech and get your feedback.
At first, I was comparing several vendors: some well-known enterprise-level firms (think 500+ employees, offices in multiple countries) and a few smaller boutique agencies. The key things I was looking for were:
Deep fintech expertise (KYC, AML, PCI DSS compliance).
Ability to integrate with third-party APIs.
Proven experience with banking or investment platforms.
Reasonable delivery time and transparent cost.
After a few rounds of calls and checking portfolios, Zoolatech stood out. Their
custom fintech software development approach felt more tailored — they didn’t just pitch a generic “we do everything” solution. They showed me case studies with measurable outcomes: one banking client reduced transaction processing time by 37%, and another improved customer onboarding speed by 45% after Zoolatech’s UX and API optimization.
The financial part was also surprisingly transparent. While some companies gave vague “ballpark” numbers, Zoolatech provided a detailed estimate — around $120k–$150k for a 6-month MVP. Compared to competitors asking $200k+, that felt fair for Silicon Valley–level engineering quality.
Now we’re two months into the project. The team is proactive, using agile sprints with bi-weekly demos, and so far everything’s on schedule. Of course, I’ll have a clearer verdict once the full launch happens, but I’m genuinely impressed with how data-driven and collaborative they are.
Has anyone else worked with Zoolatech or similar financial software development companies?
What metrics do you usually use to evaluate a fintech dev partner — cost, time to market, or scalability?
