    Insurance software

    The pandemic has significantly accelerated the development of some areas of InsurTech. The lockdown has created a habit among consumers that everything can be done online, including insurance. Insurance software solutions help people insure property and casualty (BriteCore), health (AgencySmart), cars (Lemonade, Inc.) as well as allow insurers and their clients to fulfill other affiliated tasks, such as document management, billing and invoicing, task management, and commission tracking.

    Crowdfunding platforms

    There are a lot of popular crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter or Patreon that help raise money for various projects. But few people know how these platforms monetize. They keep on average about five percent of the funds raised as a reward for intermediary services. Such huge profits explain the increased demand for the development of crowdfunding platforms.

    To develop a crowdfunding platform which earns, it is vital to start with:

    • Choosing a niche: non-profits, charity, social activities, small business, and startups
    • Deciding on the model: donation, rewards, debts, or equity
    • Selecting an approach for monetisation: subscription fee, service fee, listing fee, or percentage fee

    Based on the above points, the design and functionality of the crowdfunding platform is determined.

    Cryptocurrency & blockchain

    Blockchain appeared relatively recently, in the year 2008, so we are still learning how to make the most of its capabilities. Blockchain helps in data protection, personal identification, company verification, transaction registration, investments, risk management, contract signing, etc. This broad scope of application stems from the safety and reliability of the technology; therefore we can expect the same diversified blockchain development in the future. Other benefits of the blockchain technology are:

    • Transparency of transactions. Any user can track the chain of transactions from the very beginning.
    • Data security. The information is stored in blocks on the devices of multiple users. This reduces the risk of hacker attacks, as well as technical failures.
    • Speed. It only takes a few minutes to complete any transaction.
    • Cost-effectiveness. The fees for transactions without intermediaries are lower compared to transactions through banks.

    The most relevant blockchain area for FinTech is cryptocurrency. Bitcoin value is growing, and other cryptocurrencies are trying to keep up with it. The demand for them is increasing, so the possibility of working with these currencies is important for banking applications.

    P2P lending platform

    Our client is a fintech organization that needed a P2P lending platform to connect individual private investors and borrowers, excluding financial intermediaries and legal entities. The platform had to be an easy-to-use web app that would plan and manage finance like investments and borrowings. Additionally, it had to provide more opportunities to investors due to higher interest rates and no additional charges. The client turned to EffectiveSoft to transform their vision into reality.

    To create the web app, our developers used HTML5 and JQuery for the frontend and the LAMP tech stack with CodeIgniter and CI Validation for the backend. To establish communication between the client side and server side, we employed JSON. We also equipped the P2P lending platform with a wide range of features that helped:

    • Process loan requests and match them with suitable offers
    • Verify payments and withdrawals
    • Record missed loan payments and store logs
    • Foster the safety of investments by splitting deposits among five or more borrowers
    • Set a loan threshold of a minimum of £100
    • Monitor current statuses of obligations, loan investments, and interest rate payments

    The EffectiveSoft team delivered a full-scale P2P lending platform to the client. The web app provides an excellent user experience (UX) for lenders and borrowers, allowing them to directly engage in the necessary transactions without involving traditional financial parties.
