Swiss Remit is a financial services company based in Europe (Switzerland), specializing in international money transfers. The client sought to create a white-label solution for money transfer services tailored to the European market, similar to Western Union, leveraging their existing expertise.

About the Client:

The project involved designing and developing a comprehensive money transfer system that would comply with European regulations. The goal was to create a robust, scalable service that could be packaged and sold as a standalone product. This would allow users to transfer money quickly and securely, while enabling the client to efficiently manage resources and cut development costs. A team of 9 IT specialists was involved in the implementation of the project.

• Business analysis: Conducting an in-depth analysis of European financial regulations and compliance requirements to ensure the product would meet all legal standards.
• Developing a money transfer service: Creating a white-label solution for European markets, allowing users to transfer funds between individuals across borders securely and efficiently.
• Resource optimization: Reusing part of the client's existing microservices infrastructure to ensure faster processing times and lower operational costs. The new system needed to offer improved performance, with a focus on scalability and speed.
