From intermediary to proprietary financial platform.
Sector: Fintech / Digital remittances.
Challenge: Evolve from a third-party-dependent intermediary to a proprietary fintech platform for digital remittances.
Solution: Proprietary financial platform with PWA, centralized API, payment integrations, security protocols, and an optimized technology stack.
Outcome: Greater control over the user experience, operational autonomy, and a proprietary technology base to manage the digital business.
Background and challenge
In the digital remittances sector, where security, trust, and agility are essential, Sendity was heavily dependent on third-party platforms to process customer transactions.
This situation limited control over the user experience, reduced operational flexibility, and made differentiation more difficult in a competitive fintech market.
Initially, Sendity operated as an intermediary. It acquired customers through a marketing website and then redirected them to external platforms.
The objective was to move away from that dependent model and build a proprietary financial platform capable of centralizing the customer experience, payment integrations, and the full digital remittance operation.
The solution
Security-first architecture
We developed a fintech platform for digital remittances with advanced security protocols, which are essential in a financial product where user trust is critical.
Technology stack
We implemented a robust architecture based on React and Node.js to ensure performance and scalability.
We selected an optimized technology stack using Gatsby for the frontend and Strapi for content management, specifically calibrated to Sendity’s operational requirements.
Strategic API integrations
We developed strategic API integrations with key financial services.
These integrations preserved the platform’s autonomy without creating critical dependencies.
Platform structure
The project comprised a technical structure made up of an administrator panel, Strapi CMS, main Gatsby site, PWA application, centralized API, and complete development environments.
Outcomes
The collaboration fundamentally transformed Sendity’s business model.
From intermediary to platform: Sendity gained direct control over the user experience and transactions, with full flexibility to customize the product according to its specific needs.
From dependency to autonomy: The company significantly reduced its reliance on third parties, gaining control over its own customer flow and data.
From rigidity to flexibility: Sendity can iterate and improve the product rapidly based on market needs, using proprietary data and internal analysis.
