Custom fintech software development

Custom-built technology for brokers, funds, and banks.

We build financial software for brokers, fund administrators, AMCs, banks and NBFCs. It starts with the process you want to replace and ends with a platform your team runs.

Who we work with

Technology for the people who run financial businesses.

The clients are brokers and their trading desks, funds and fund administrators, AMCs running ETFs, banks and NBFCs, and the distributors in their channel networks. In each of them technology is where the orders and the books are produced, not a support function. That is the part of the business we build.

Brokers

The systems clients trade in, partners sell from, and the back office reconciles.

Mutual Funds & AMCs

AMCs and mutual funds managing and distributing investment products, with transactions, compliance and reporting.

AIFs & Fund Businesses

Funds whose accounting, investor allocations and capital activity do not fit a generic platform.

Fund Accounting Teams

Operations and accounting teams closing the books monthly, with a trail behind every figure.

Banks & NBFCs

Banks and NBFCs building customer, employee or internal applications on top of core banking.

Why Latent

We don't sell you a product. We build yours.

Financial software is not in short supply; almost any function can be licensed. What we get is the process no product covers, the one sitting between two systems or running across a partner network. If your requirement fits a licence you already own, we will say so rather than bill you for a build.

Understand before we build

We write down the process you run today, including the exceptions and the workarounds.

Build around your workflows

The system follows your monthly close, your order flow and your reporting, not a template.

Work with your team

Your operations and technology teams review working software every two weeks, not status reports.

Stay beyond launch

Handover covers the repository, the deployment process and the documentation your team needs.

How we work

From business problem to working product.

A build runs in six steps and only some of them are code; the rest is the workflow itself, the integrations and the review before launch. We stay involved once it is live, because that is when the awkward cases surface. Handover is planned from the first sprint, not offered at the end.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We write down the process as it runs today, and your operations lead reads it back.

  2. 02

    Plan

    The hardest screen gets prototyped first, usually a table or a calculation.

  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week increments, each ending in software you can open and review.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Security, access rules, logging and data handling are reviewed before anything goes live.

  5. 05

    Improve

    After launch, we keep shipping improvements in two-week increments while your team takes the code.

“Technology is the tool. Your financial business is the point.”
The Latent difference
We don't believe the goal of a software project is to produce more software. The goal is to help your business work better.

That could mean replacing a manual process, building a new financial product, giving your partners better tools, improving how your operations team works, or creating a system that simply does not exist off the shelf.

We bring the technology expertise. You bring the business knowledge. Together, we build something that fits.

Questions

Fintech development, answered

How does a project with Latent start?

It starts with the process you want to replace, not a feature list. We ask what fails today and who signs the figures off, then write that down. Nothing is quoted until the document exists.

How long does a build take?

Scoping sets the schedule, not the reverse, and two things drive it: how many systems have to be integrated, and how settled the workflow is. After that, work ships in two-week increments, so you see a running build every fortnight.

Do you provide ready-made fintech software?

No. Latent is a product engineering firm, so there is no package or licence to buy. Every engagement produces software written for one client's process.

Who owns the code at the end?

Your organisation owns it, and the transfer is the default rather than a negotiation. Handover covers the repository, the deployment process and the documentation, so your team can change the system without us. Parrot Finance took ownership of a platform rebuild that way.

Which regions do you work in?

Clients are in the USA, the EU, the UAE, India and GIFT City, and delivery is remote in each case. Calls sit inside your working day, and procurement or compliance review is scheduled from the first sprint.

Do you build both web and mobile applications?

Yes. Web work is ReactJS and NodeJS on AWS, and mobile apps are built in React Native. Upstox's channel partner app is one mobile build; the ETF platform for Motilal Oswal AMC is a different kind of system.

Can you work with our existing technology?

Yes, and much of that work is integration rather than replacement: custodian feeds, identity systems such as Oracle IAM, market data through Front API. We argue for replacing a working system only when that is cheaper than keeping it.

Have a financial product that doesn't fit an off-the-shelf solution?

Tell us what you are trying to build. We'll understand the business problem, look at what already exists, and help you work out what should be built. No obligation. Just a conversation about what you need.
