FinTech software comes with high stakes. Security, compliance, and performance are critical.

Most FinTech projects fail because teams focus only on features, not on risk management and regulatory standards.

1. Security first

• Encrypt all sensitive data

• Regular vulnerability testing

• Strong authentication and authorization

2. Regulatory compliance

• Know local and international laws (e.g., GDPR, PCI DSS)

• Implement audit trails for financial transactions

• Keep documentation updated for regulators

3. Scalable and reliable architecture

FinTech systems must handle:

• Thousands of transactions per second

• High availability requirements

• Easy integration with banking APIs

4. Continuous monitoring & updates

• Track real-time transactions and errors

• Update security protocols regularly

• Plan for system growth from day one
