Software engineering for European fintech, under European governance.

Dedicated engineering teams for payments, lending, wealth and banking-as-a-service. PSD2-aware, DORA-scoped, with one European contract and one accountable delivery lead.

The model

Engineering capacity that understands regulated financial software.

Fintech engineering is not generic CRUD. It is reconciliation, idempotency, signed audit trails, regulator-ready reporting and zero-downtime release windows. Our teams are scoped around that reality, and the contract reflects it.

PSD2 and SCA fluency

Strong Customer Authentication, open banking APIs, dynamic linking, handled as a default capability, not a learning curve on your project.

DORA-aligned operations

ICT risk management, incident reporting and resilience testing scoped into the engagement so you are not retrofitting compliance later.

Audit-ready governance

Documented decisions, signed-off releases, named change owners. The artifacts your auditors and regulators expect, produced as a by-product of how we work.

European contracting

Signed with our European entity, under European law, GDPR-aligned, with named DPO contacts and processor obligations defined upfront.

When it fits

When dedicated fintech engineering is the right call.

Regulated product work

Payments, lending, banking-as-a-service, wealth, where every release touches audit, compliance and the regulator's window.

Modernization under load

Replacing core systems, splitting monoliths, adopting event-driven patterns, with zero tolerance for downtime or data loss.

Multi-year platform investment

Platforms that need the same engineers compounding context across feature work, modernization and incident response.

How it works

From first conversation to first sprint in four to eight weeks.

  1. 01
    Scope and shape

    We work with your engineering, product and compliance leadership to define roadmap, seniority mix, stack and the regulatory perimeter the team will operate inside.

  2. 02
    Named team proposal

    You receive a proposal with named engineers, sector references and a delivery lead. Every role is interviewed by your team before joining.

  3. 03
    Onboarding inside your perimeter

    Engineers integrate into your tooling, security perimeter, audit logging and rituals. First sprint typically runs within four to eight weeks of signed engagement.

  4. 04
    Continuous operation

    Monthly written reviews with the delivery lead, transparent reporting, named escalation path for incidents and regulatory questions.

How it compares

Why fintech leaders pick this model.

Generic offshore vendor

Anonymous pools, no sector context, audit gaps to retrofit. Cheap on paper, expensive in regulatory exposure.

Onshore staff augmentation

Real-time, but priced as a premium and limited to whoever happens to be on the market this month.

What we deliver
Common questions

About fintech software development with Luminedge.

Do your engineers have experience with payments and core banking systems?

Yes. Roles are scoped against your stack and regulatory perimeter, payments rails, ledgers, reconciliation, SCA, open banking, and every named engineer is interviewed by your team before joining. We do not staff sector-specific roles from a generic pool.

How do you handle DORA and PSD2 obligations in a delivery engagement?

ICT risk management, incident reporting, third-party register obligations and SCA requirements are scoped into the engagement contract before the first sprint. Your compliance team reviews and signs off; we operate inside that perimeter.

Where is the engineering data stored?

Source code, tickets and engineering data sit inside your tenancy and tooling. Our engineers work in your perimeter, under your access controls, not in a parallel vendor environment.

How fast can a fintech engineering team be operational?

Typical lead time from signed engagement to the first sprint is four to eight weeks. Sector context, security clearances and regulator-aware onboarding are scoped into that window.
