Cross-border eCommerce solution

The product collected all borderless banking and cross-border eCommerce services on one platform to manage customers, vendors, and business accounts. This B2B and B2C fintech solution is pre-integrated with platforms like Shopify, YouCan, WordPress, and many more.

Project background

In the past, businesses and individuals were mostly restricted to banking in a single country or platform. Now, the rise of borderless banking enables both to benefit from greater financial freedoms.   

By definition, borderless banking refers to any bank account which allows users to spend, send and receive money across different countries and currencies without incurring heavy fees. For end users, borderless banking makes cross-border financial transactions more efficient and cost-effective. Through its rise, businesses, and individuals can gain easier access to international capital streams, which is crucial at this current moment of economic uncertainty.   

Our client wanted to create an intuitive borderless banking platform for all payments and money transfers for the Middle East market. We started with a platform for business owners, offering them a place to promote their products and services. After the analysis of MVP results, new functionality was added, and the platform transformed into a B2B and B2C cross-border eCommerce solution.

Business needs

Our client came up with an exciting idea to create a secure and intuitive borderless banking platform for all payments and money transfers for the Middle East market. Initially, the platform idea was solely for business owners, allowing them to promote their products and services in one place. But during development, new functionality was added and the platform transformed into a B2B and B2C cross-border eCommerce solution. The main business needs were to:  

– help grow a borderless business;  

– protect money transfers against fraud;  

– stay in compliance with regional regulations.

Employee testimonial

Dmitrii Tilik Front-end developer

First off, I enjoyed the well-coordinated work in the team. Together we have created a useful, thought-out, and functional app for selling various products where sellers can register, fill in their data, and create products, while underwriters ensure safety and quality. The app also allows users to securely connect their bank cards and make money transfers between users. I'm proud to participate in this project and confident this borderless banking application will become popular.
