Custom software for financial institutions

A financial software development company for systems that cannot fail

Financial software carries money, records and regulatory obligations. Downtime, a failed integration or an inaccurate report has a direct cost. As a finance software development company, Itexus has built and modernized these systems since 2013, for organizations ranging from funded startups to a credit union with $19B in assets.

We design for the properties financial institutions are audited on: data integrity, traceability of every critical action, controlled releases and recovery paths. And we do it without freezing the business — legacy systems are replaced gradually, with new components running alongside the old.

  • Accurate financial data models — data engineers who model transaction, portfolio and market data correctly
  • Legacy coexistence — service wrappers and integration layers around AS400, SOAP and file-based systems
  • Auditability by default — audit trails, activity logging and regulatory reporting designed in
  • Delivery ownership — one accountable team in multi-stakeholder environments

How we work

How we develop financial software

Agile flexibility with the scope, budget, risk and delivery governance that regulated financial projects require.

  1. Discovery and blueprints before code

    Requirements, architecture, integrations, API contracts and delivery assumptions are defined upfront and updated with every release.

  2. Agile with scope and budget control

    Short iterations and demos, combined with controlled scope management, budget tracking, release planning and risk reporting.

  3. AI-first build for new products

    With modular architecture, documented requirements and clear guardrails, AI agents accelerate coding and test generation under senior architect review.

  4. AI-accelerated work on legacy systems

    For tightly coupled systems with incomplete documentation: AI-assisted analysis, refactoring and test generation with closer manual oversight.

  5. Quality engineering and test automation

    Manual and automated QA, regulatory scenario testing, penetration testing, performance and load testing.

  6. Launch and post-launch support

    Deployment, monitoring, L2/L3 maintenance and knowledge transfer. Current documentation keeps later changes fast and safe.

Engagement models

Engagement models for financial software outsourcing

Choose the model that fits your requirements, project size and how involved you want to be. Whether you outsource a whole product or extend your own team, the engineers and delivery standards are the same.

Recommended

Agile with budget control

Agile delivery in two-week sprints combined with strict control of scope, budget, risks and quality.

  • High-level scope, estimate and budget defined upfront
  • A demo of new features at the end of every sprint
  • Requirements can change as new ideas come up
  • Weekly reporting on costs and progress
  • Only efficient hours within the agreed estimates are billed

Fixed price

All requirements are documented and signed before the project starts. Itexus delivers the agreed scope for the agreed price and time.

  • Exact scope and functionality fixed in the contract
  • Payments on reaching milestones
  • Minor client involvement during implementation
  • Suits clients who can specify the software in detail and do not plan to change it

Dedicated team / outstaffing

Remote engineers, with or without a project manager, integrated into your in-house team and managed by you day to day.

  • You direct the development process
  • Developers, QA, DevOps, designers, data scientists
  • Engineers with financial domain knowledge
  • Scale the team up or down as the roadmap changes

As a general reference, discovery and prototyping engagements start from around $30,000; enterprise fintech projects often range from $150,000 to $1,000,000+. Compare the cooperation models in detail

FAQ

Financial software development: frequently asked questions

How much does a financial software development project cost?

The cost depends on scope, architecture, integrations, compliance requirements, product complexity and the condition of any existing systems.

As a general reference, discovery, validation and prototyping engagements start from around $30,000. Enterprise projects involving legacy integrations, regulated workflows, AI functionality or full-scale product development often range from $150,000 to $1,000,000+. Itexus provides a detailed estimate after an initial discovery session and technical scoping.

What is the difference between financial software and fintech software development?

The engineering is the same; the client and context differ. Financial software development usually means systems for established institutions — banks, credit unions, asset managers, insurers — including internal and legacy systems. Fintech development usually means new digital products. Itexus does both, often in the same engagement: for example, a digital onboarding product on top of a legacy AS400 core.

Can you integrate with our core banking system or other legacy software?

Yes. Itexus has integrated with Temenos, FIS, Fiserv and AS400-based cores, including SOAP and file-based protocols. We build clear integration layers so new components can coexist with the legacy system and be rolled out gradually with rollback paths.

Can you take over a project from another financial software development company?

Yes. Itexus takes over stalled, underperforming or poorly documented projects from other vendors.

The work starts with an audit of the codebase, architecture, documentation, integrations, infrastructure and security risks, followed by a remediation plan covering technical debt, testing gaps and the next development priorities.

How do you keep financial data secure?

Role-based access with least-privilege permissions and MFA, AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, data masking for PII, audit trails for critical actions, network segmentation, documented backup and disaster recovery, and 24/7 monitoring with a formal incident response procedure.

How long does it take to build financial software?

It depends on scope. A discovery and prototype phase typically takes weeks; a production platform with several integrations takes months. As an example, Itexus took a supply chain finance platform from discovery to launch in seven months. We give a timeline with the estimate after discovery.

What is AI-first and AI-accelerated development?

AI-first development is most effective for greenfield products, where the architecture, requirements, documentation and technical guardrails can be designed for agent-based development from the start.

AI-accelerated development is better suited to legacy systems, where tightly coupled architecture and incomplete documentation require more manual analysis, refactoring, test generation and controlled modernization. In both cases Itexus keeps architecture oversight, QA, security and compliance control.

Do you provide post-launch support and maintenance?

Yes. Itexus provides post-launch support and maintenance for production financial systems, including L2/L3 support, monitoring, incident response, patch and release management, performance tuning, backup and rollback support, and ongoing improvements.
