About Our Client
A fintech startup based in the Middle East aimed to disrupt the retail credit space with a Buy Now, Pay Later platform targeted at younger, digital-first consumers. With investor pressure and limited in-house tech resources, the client needed to launch an MVP in under 4 months to validate the model and onboard early adopters.
Challenge
The startup needed rapid product development, clear technical direction, and guidance on scaling a fintech architecture securely. Their team lacked experience with MVP scoping, cloud-native design, and regulatory considerations for handling user payments and PII. They needed a tech partner who could guide both product strategy and technical execution.
Solution
Celestial Infosoft took ownership of the technical consulting and MVP delivery. We led rapid scope definition, selected a cost-effective cloud architecture, and advised on compliant handling of financial transactions.
Our team developed the mobile app using React Native for cross-platform speed, built a scalable backend with Node.js and AWS Lambda, and integrated Stripe for payments. We set up a lightweight CI/CD pipeline and ensured that the platform could handle future merchant integrations with minimal refactoring.
