Solution overview

In short, the platform aims to instantly improve users’ credit scores by logging personal recurring payments (e.g., subscriptions or rent) as credit history. There are three modules: a mobile client app, a web-based admin panel, and a landing page.

Mobile client app

In the mobile client application, users can link their bank accounts, check their expenses, and pay and keep track of recurring bills while building their credit history. Here are the features for this module:

• Authorization and authentication sub-module allows users to sign up, create accounts, log in, receive and enter one-time passwords, enter personal information, link bank accounts, pass KYC checks, etc.
• The homepage includes a dashboard, virtual cards, and credit score.
• The income and expenses tab includes statistics and an understandable graph.
• Bank account management allows users to connect and disconnect bank accounts, enter bank account credentials, etc.
• Account data management includes passwords, subscription plan, notifications, personal data management, etc.
• Virtual card management allows users to create a virtual card, view general information, account balance, and payment history.
• The financial data management sub-module allows users to view and filter the list of transactions and their details, search the transaction, view upcoming payments, etc.).
• The help center contains articles that can be viewed and filtered, also users can ask questions.

Admin panel

The admin panel enables the management of internal processes through user administration and business performance management. The following functions are provided:

• Authorization & authentication
• Customer relationship management sub-module, where the admin can view the list of customers, search for customers and view their details.
• Business performance management dashboard where the admin can view the system and business statistics for the selected period.
• The help center contains a list of help articles that can be managed by the admin.

Landing page

The visitor module is implemented as a landing page designed specifically for marketing or promotional purposes. It provides information about the application, the company, contacts, etc.

Project approach

The discovery phase lasted 4 months from the beginning to the delivery of the last artifact. The main purpose of the discovery phase was to formulate and clarify the requirements and to create the artifacts that our client will use to raise funds for project implementation. Here are the outcomes of the discovery phase:

• Work breakdown structure (WBS) document with an accurate estimate of all functions.
• Vision and scope document with a clear definition of the project scope and a comprehensive description of potential risks (e.g., risks in promoting the solution, risks in integrating vendors, etc.) and ways to address them.
• Software architecture document describing the architecture of the solution and the tech stack.
• A clickable prototype to visualize the idea for the platform and present it to investors.

Results & future plans

With all the above artifacts in hand, the client is all set for fundraising. After receiving the investment, the client will return to us to begin the development phase.
