Neobank Applications
Customer-facing banking interfaces over licensed partner banks — accounts, cards, statements, and money movement with immutable audit trails.
RBI Compliance — Built In From Day One
Fintech projects fail differently from other software: teams treat compliance as a feature to add later, and discover it was architecture all along. Every SmartX fintech build starts from the regulatory floor:
- KYC verification — resumable digital onboarding through Digio, HyperVerge, or Signzy, with audit artefacts your banking partners will ask for.
- AML screening and monitoring — data models that support your regulated partner’s screening obligations from the first schema.
- Data localisation — India-region cloud infrastructure from the first deploy, per RBI’s 2018 payment data storage directive.
- PPI and wallet rules — prepaid instrument features built on licensed partners, so you launch without waiting years for your own licence.
- Lending compliance — fund flows only between regulated entities and borrowers, Key Fact Statement disclosures, and consent logging per the RBI Digital Lending Guidelines.

Why Hyderabad for Fintech Development?
India runs one of the world’s most advanced payment ecosystems — 87% fintech adoption per EY’s Global FinTech Adoption Index, and UPI processing over 13 billion transactions a month on NPCI’s rails. NPCI itself sits in Mumbai, but a large share of the engineering talent that builds on those rails sits in Hyderabad: the city hosts major technology centres for global banks and payment companies around HITEC City, and an active fintech startup cohort at T-Hub.
For founders, the arithmetic is simple: fintech-experienced senior engineers — people who have already shipped KYC flows, UPI reconciliation, and RBI-localised infrastructure — at rates 15–20% below Bangalore for equivalent quality. That is the pool SmartX hires from, and the premium your product does not have to pay.
