APP FUNCTIONS
Utility payments
Our client wanted to integrate a feature that would allow users to conveniently pay their bills for different services, such as electricity, water, gas, internet, and more.
This feature should be very intuitive so that users of any age can open a banking app, navigate to this feature and pay for a service in one click.
To make utility payments more smart and convenient, we included such options:
- Bill management - to view a list of the upcoming utility bills and due dates within the app.
- Payment reminders - users can set preferences for receiving reminders about upcoming utility bill payments via push notifications, email, or SMS.
- Bill history and receipts - the app maintains a history of past utility payments and lets users access digital receipts for each transaction.

APP FUNCTIONS
Budgeting tools
The budgeting tools we integrated into this banking app empower users to manage their finances effectively by setting budgets, tracking expenses, and setting different financial goals.
Here is what tools we included and how exactly they work:
- Expenses categorization - users can divide their expenses into predefined categories (e.g., groceries, transportation, entertainment) or custom categories based on their spending habits.
- Budget setting - it’s easy to set budget limits for each expense category, specifying the maximum amount users are willing to spend within a certain time period.
- Financial goal setting - users can set long-term financial goals, such as saving for a vacation, buying a house, or building an emergency fund. The app helps users break down their ambitious goals into smaller milestones and track their progress over time.
- Expenses analytics - users can perform analysis of their expenses, including detailed breakdowns of their spending by category, merchant, time period, and payment method.

PROJECT JOURNEY
Development approach
To build a highly secure and feature-rich neobanking solution, we’ve selected and used a set of proven technologies:
- TypeScript was used for both front-end (React) and back-end (Node.js) parts of the application to write stable source code and decrease future maintenance costs.
- React was selected to speed up front-end development and make code maintenance easier.
- Swagger was used for API documentation and testing.
- We’ve also created a robust REST API as the main communication gateway between different product parts.
