The Challenge
What stood in the way
A leading Saudi financial institution needed to replace a legacy mobile app that couldn't support real-time payments, biometric authentication, or the scale required by 2 million active users. Regulatory deadlines from SAMA added urgency.
Our Solution
How we solved it
We architected a cloud-native mobile banking platform with event-driven microservices, end-to-end encryption, and a design system built for Arabic-first UX. Biometric auth and instant transfers shipped in phase one.
