Identifying Key Challenges in Cross-Border Payment Solutions

The client faces challenges in rapidly scaling their cross-border payment services due to time-consuming and expensive in-house development, limited flexibility in payment workflows, and the need for enhanced security and compliance automation across multiple currencies and regions.

About the Client

A mid to large-sized fintech company aiming to facilitate seamless international business transactions through a secure, efficient, and customizable payments infrastructure.

Goals and Expected Outcomes for the Payment Platform Development

  • Accelerate the development and deployment of a flexible, scalable cross-border payment platform
  • Enable integration of multiple payment APIs to support increased currency coverage and regional payment routes
  • Enhance automation of compliance and KYC checks to improve speed and accuracy
  • Implement microservice-based architecture to improve scalability and development cycle efficiency
  • Support processing volume growth to at least $400 million in payments per month
  • Reduce time-to-market for new features and regional payment solutions
  • Build a secure infrastructure with automated monitoring and error detection

Core Functional System Capabilities Needed

  • Multicurrency wallet management with real-time fund flow tracking
  • Customizable payment workflow APIs to enable clients to embed payment infrastructure into their products
  • Responsive client-facing web application for direct access to payment features without API integration
  • Connect API suite supporting automation and workflows customization
  • Automation framework for testing, compliance checks, KYC processes, and transaction monitoring
  • Microservice architecture supporting scaling, independent deployment, and resilient operation
  • Integration with multiple third-party payment networks and currency management providers
  • Containerized deployment with Kubernetes for flexibility and scalability

Preferred Technologies and Architectural Approaches

Microservice architecture with container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)
Cloud platform services (e.g., AWS, similar cloud providers)
Automation testing frameworks
APIs for payment processing, compliance, and currency management
DevOps tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Packer, and CI/CD pipelines
Web development frameworks (e.g., Vue.js or similar) for client-facing applications
Monitoring tools (e.g., ELK stack, Grafana, statsd)

External System Integrations for Payment Ecosystem

  • Third-party currency and payment route providers
  • KYC and compliance monitoring systems
  • Financial data and reporting services
  • Multiple banks, payment gateways, and currency conversion services

Critical Non-Functional System Requirements

  • High scalability to process over $400 million in payments monthly
  • Resilience with minimized downtime and fault tolerance
  • Security compliance including automated KYC and anti-fraud measures
  • Automated monitoring and alerting for security and system health
  • Fast development cycles and rapid deployment of new features
  • Performance optimized for real-time processing and low latency

Projected Business Benefits from the Payments Platform Initiative

The development of this scalable, automated payments platform is expected to significantly enhance transaction volume capabilities, reaching processing of approximately $400 million monthly. It will enable faster time-to-market for new features, improve system scalability and security, and support expanding client needs across multiple regions and currencies, thereby strengthening market position and revenue potential.
