Hey everyone,
I’ve been researching financial software development companies for the past few months because our startup needed a custom platform for transaction analytics and compliance automation. After talking to several vendors (mostly from Eastern Europe and the US), I ended up choosing Zoolatech — and I wanted to share why.
First, I looked at hard data. Zoolatech had over 150 engineers experienced in fintech, with 90% of projects delivered on time (according to Clutch stats). Their average project size was around $250K–$400K, which matched our budget range. What stood out was their focus on custom fintech software development, not just generic web apps.
They also had experience building risk management dashboards, KYC/AML systems, and payment orchestration tools — exactly what we needed. During the proposal phase, they even showed us how they reduced transaction latency by 30% for a previous client in the EU banking sector. That kind of transparency made a big difference.
Our project took 7 months from kick-off to release, and honestly, it was smoother than expected. The communication was clear, and we got weekly demos. Performance testing showed 25% faster load times than our benchmark target.
Now I’m curious — has anyone here worked with other financial software development companies that specialize in custom fintech software development?
How do you evaluate ROI and scalability before signing a long-term contract?
Do you prioritize niche expertise (like compliance, payments, or trading) or overall software quality first?
Would love to hear your experiences — I’m especially interested in companies that can handle both core banking integration and modern cloud-native architectures.
