Digital Banking Platform Development FAQ

How long does digital banking platform development take?

Timeline depends on scope and complexity. MVP digital banking platform with essential features takes 28-36 weeks. Full-featured platform with comprehensive banking products requires 40-52 weeks. Enterprise platform with Banking as a Service capabilities needs 52-80 weeks. Timeline includes discovery, design, core banking development, application development, testing, compliance validation, and deployment.

Should we build a new core banking system or modernize existing?

Decision depends on current system limitations, technical debt, and strategic goals. Build new core banking system when: legacy system prevents innovation, maintenance costs exceed replacement, vendor lock-in limits flexibility, scalability problems constrain growth, or regulatory compliance is challenging. Modernize when: core functionality meets needs, API layer can abstract complexity, gradual migration is acceptable, or budget is constrained. We assess your situation and recommend optimal approach.

What is the difference between traditional banks and neobanks?

Neobanks are digital-only banks without physical branches, built on cloud-native technology stacks. They typically offer: lower fees due to lower costs, superior mobile experiences, faster feature releases, better personalization, and modern technology. Traditional banks have: physical branch presence, broader product offerings, established brand trust, larger capital bases, and existing customer relationships. Many traditional banks now build digital banks to compete with neobank challengers.

How much does digital banking platform development cost?

Investment varies by scope. Basic MVP platform: $280K-$450K. Full-featured digital banking solution: $500K-$900K. Enterprise platform with BaaS: $1M-$3M+. Factors affecting cost include: number of banking products supported, channel coverage (web, mobile, tablet), core banking complexity, regulatory compliance scope, integration requirements, security sophistication, and customization level. Ongoing operations $20K-$75K monthly.

What regulatory compliance is required for digital banks?

Digital banks must comply with: banking license requirements (charter or partner bank), GLBA for financial privacy, BSA/AML for anti-money laundering, FFIEC IT examination standards, SOC 2 for security controls, state money transmitter licenses, card network requirements (Visa, Mastercard), FDIC insurance (if applicable), and regional regulations. We implement comprehensive compliance frameworks and support regulatory examinations.

Can you integrate with our existing core banking system?

Banks generate $25-50M annually per major BaaS partner while expanding reach beyond traditional channels.

How do you ensure platform security and data protection?

Multi-layer security architecture including: encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), multi-factor authentication with biometrics, role-based access control, fraud detection using machine learning, DDoS protection, intrusion detection and prevention, security information and event management (SIEM), regular penetration testing, security code review, vulnerability scanning, and 24/7 security monitoring.
