Ship It Live · fintech sprint
A fintech product people trust, live in 30 days.
Money products are judged in the first ten seconds. This is the month where yours stops looking like a side project.
Quick answer
A fintech app can be designed, built and live in 30 days for a fixed $2,500, covering onboarding, account dashboards, transaction history, payments through a licensed provider, and the trust and security patterns users expect. Holding customer funds or issuing cards requires licensing that no sprint provides.
The plan
Day one to day 30, written down.
You get this schedule before you commit, not after. If a phase slips, that is mine to absorb — the price and the date were agreed before anything started.
- 1
Days 1–3
Scope and rails
Which licensed provider moves the money, what identity checks are required in your market, and what you are legally allowed to do yourself. This decides everything downstream.
- 2
Days 4–12
Design
Onboarding and the main dashboard first. Trust is designed, not decorated — every screen that touches money states what will happen before it happens.
- 3
Days 13–24
Build
Accounts, transactions, provider integration and the security layer. Every money-touching path gets error handling, because a silent failure here is not a bug, it is a support crisis.
- 4
Days 25–28
Test the failure paths
Declines, timeouts, partial failures, duplicates. In fintech the unhappy paths are the product, and this week is reserved for them.
- 5
Days 29–30
Launch
Live payments enabled, monitoring on, and a written handover of how each money flow behaves when it goes wrong.
What $2,500 gets you
Everything needed to launch — nothing padding the invoice.
Who books this
Built for
Fintech founders who need a credible product in front of investors
Businesses layering payments or lending onto an existing service
Teams whose product works but looks too unfinished to be trusted with money
Real situations
Five ways this shows up, and what actually fixes it.
Not hypothetical — the shape of the problem before someone books this sprint, and the specific part of the build that resolves it.
Situation 1
The product works, but looks too unfinished to trust with money
A fintech founder's product functions correctly, but its interface doesn't yet carry the visual and interaction cues people expect before they'll trust it with their money.
Trust is designed deliberately — every screen touching money states what will happen before it happens — not decorated on top afterward.
Situation 2
Investor meeting soon, product still looks like a side project
A fintech startup has real traction conversations lined up, but the current build reads as an early prototype rather than something built to handle money credibly.
A polished, functioning dashboard and onboarding flow, built on a licensed payment provider, gives investors something that looks and behaves like a real fintech product.
Situation 3
Adding payments to an existing product with no fintech experience
A business wants to layer payments or lending onto their existing service but has no in-house experience with the compliance and provider landscape that involves.
The scoping call identifies which licensed provider moves the money and what identity checks the market requires, before any design work starts.
Situation 4
A silent payment failure that became a support crisis
A previous product had a payment path fail without clear error handling, and what should have been a minor decline turned into a wave of confused support tickets.
Every money-touching path gets deliberate error handling — a silent failure here is treated as a support crisis waiting to happen, not an edge case.
Situation 5
Confusing who needs a licence and who doesn't
A founder isn't sure whether their specific model requires them to hold a financial licence themselves or whether a provider's licence covers their use case.
That question is addressed directly on the scoping call — most fintech products are a well-designed interface on top of a provider's existing licence.
The honest part
When 30 days is the wrong answer.
A fixed deadline only works when the scope genuinely fits inside it. These are the cases where I will tell you so rather than take the booking.
Holding customer funds, issuing cards, or lending in your own name. Those require licences or a sponsor bank, and the timeline is regulatory rather than technical.
Building your own ledger and reconciliation engine. It is a serious system, it is not a 30-day feature, and getting it slightly wrong is worse than not having it.
Regulated advice — investment recommendations or credit guidance to consumers — which carries liability no disclaimer removes.
Inside the 30 days
- Onboarding designed around identity checks instead of despite them
- Account dashboard: balances, activity, upcoming, at a glance
- Transaction history with search, filters, receipts and exports
- Payments and payouts through Stripe or a regional licensed provider
- KYC flow integrated with an established verification provider
- Security patterns users look for — 2FA, device checks, clear confirmations
- Notifications for every money movement, because silence reads as failure
- Source code, design files and 30 days of support at handover
Quoted as one number before day one. A week running long is mine to absorb.
Outside the line
- Holding customer funds, issuing cards, or lending in your own name. Those require licences or a sponsor bank, and the timeline is regulatory rather than technical.
- Building your own ledger and reconciliation engine. It is a serious system, it is not a 30-day feature, and getting it slightly wrong is worse than not having it.
- Regulated advice — investment recommendations or credit guidance to consumers — which carries liability no disclaimer removes.
Real work, sized and priced separately. You hear it before you book, not at handover.
Questions
Before you book
The product layer, yes — onboarding, dashboards, transactions, payments through a licensed provider. The regulated layer cannot be compressed, because it is not a build problem. Most fintech products are exactly this: a well-designed interface on top of somebody else's licence.
Other sprints
30 days from now, this could be live.
A 30-minute call decides whether the scope fits. If it doesn't, I'll tell you what would.
