Hire Fintech & Banking IT Specialists

Yes, our fintech specialists have direct implementation experience with key financial regulations. This includes PSD2 (Strong Customer Authentication, Open Banking APIs, consent management), MiFID II (transaction reporting, best execution monitoring, client categorization), KYC/AML (identity verification, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring), DORA (ICT risk management, digital resilience testing), and PCI DSS (secure payment card processing). Many of our developers have worked at major European banks and fintech companies where they built compliant systems from scratch or modernized existing ones to meet new regulatory requirements.

Absolutely. A significant portion of our fintech specialists already hold security clearances or have passed background checks required by tier-1 banks and financial institutions. We provide developers experienced in working within SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified environments, handling sensitive financial data under strict NDA agreements, and following secure development lifecycle (SDLC) practices including code reviews, SAST/DAST scanning, and penetration testing. For projects requiring specific clearance levels, we coordinate with your security team to ensure all requirements are met before engagement starts.

Legacy modernization is one of our core competencies. Our approach follows a proven methodology: 1) Assessment — we analyze existing COBOL/mainframe systems, map business logic, and identify integration points. 2) Strategy — we design an incremental migration path using the Strangler Fig pattern to avoid big-bang replacements. 3) Execution — our teams build modern Java/Spring Boot microservices that gradually replace legacy modules while maintaining full backward compatibility. 4) Data migration — we handle complex data transformations between legacy and modern formats. Our developers have completed 40+ legacy modernization projects for banks across Europe, typically reducing operational costs by 40-60% while improving system performance by 10x.

Fintech developer rates vary by specialization and seniority. Mid-level fintech developers (3-5 years in financial services): EUR 100-130/day. Senior fintech developers (5-8 years, regulatory experience): EUR 130-160/day. Fintech architects and tech leads (8+ years, banking-grade systems): EUR 160-200/day. Specialized roles like compliance engineers or trading system developers may command a premium. All rates include our full service — vetting, onboarding, contract management, and replacement guarantee. These rates represent 30-40% savings vs. hiring equivalent talent directly in Western European markets.

Standard delivery is within 2 weeks: Day 1-3 — requirements analysis, defining regulatory and technical requirements, shortlisting from our fintech specialist pool. Day 4-7 — technical interviews focusing on financial domain knowledge, security practices, and your specific tech stack. Day 8-14 — contract signing, security clearance verification, and onboarding. For urgent needs, we maintain a bench of pre-vetted fintech developers who can start within 48-72 hours. We also offer a 2-week satisfaction guarantee — if the developer does not meet your expectations, we provide a free replacement.
