// The challenge
- The client wanted to help first-time investors save small amounts regularly, but had no product team and a short time to launch.
- The app had to meet SAMA fintech requirements from day one, including verified identity, strong authentication and a full audit trail.
- Onboarding needed to feel simple in Arabic and English, on both iOS and Android.
// Our approach
- 01
Discovery and compliance mapping
A discovery call and a workshop turned the business goals and SAMA requirements into user flows, a data map and a prioritised feature list.
- 02
Clickable prototype
In the first few weeks the client could tap through onboarding, goal setting and investing on a phone, and share it with their regulator contacts and early users.
- 03
Weekly build in Flutter
One Flutter codebase for iOS and Android with a Node.js backend and an admin console, with a demo for the client every week.
- 04
Integrations
KYC verification, payment and investment-partner APIs connected through a monitored integration layer, with retries and audit logs.
