Fintech Development Cost Breakdown
Fintech development cost depends on features, compliance scope, and integrations.
A simple payment gateway with Stripe integration and basic PCI-DSS compliance starts at $80K. A full lending platform with AI underwriting and SOC 2 can reach $250K. Every quote is fixed after the Roadmap phase (week 2).
We include security audits, penetration testing, and compliance documentation in every fintech project. No add-on fees. You know the total cost before we write a line of production code.
How Our Pricing Compares
Fixed price, no hourly tricks. Your fintech project costs what we quote in week 2.
Generic agencies change scope and charge hourly. IRPR gives a fixed price for the full scope after a 2-week Roadmap. If you add features later, we quote that new piece separately.
We have shipped 200+ products for fintech clients including payment processors, lending platforms, and compliance tools. Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support.

- Timelines slip by 3-6 months

Our 4-Step Fintech Development Process
From idea to compliant release in 12 weeks. No surprises.
We use a proven 4-step framework: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. Each step delivers a concrete artifact before moving to the next.
The Roadmap phase is a paid design sprint that produces a fixed price quote, architecture diagram, and compliance checklist. After you approve, we build in 8-week sprints.
