Hayaiti / Software for Fintech

Money-movement code that reconciles to the cent.

Payment rails, double-entry ledgers, KYC/AML hooks, BaaS plumbing. Idempotent submission, reconciliation jobs, audit trail by default. Boring tech, on purpose.

3 recommended custom software packages for Fintech. Pay 50% upfront. Source code yours.

Why this combo

Custom software for Fintech, done the way it should have been the first time.

The decisions we made differently — and why they matter for fintech specifically.

01

Double-entry ledger, not a balance column.

Every money movement is two entries that net to zero. Reconcilable to the cent against your bank, Stripe, and processor reports. We've debugged off-by-cent bugs at 2am — we don't ship balance-column ledgers anymore.

02

Idempotent everything.

Idempotency keys on payment intents, transfers, payouts, and webhooks. Retries don't double-charge. Network blips don't duplicate orders. We bake this in before the first dollar moves.

03

PCI scope reduction by default.

Tokenize via Stripe / Spreedly / Basis Theory. We architect for SAQ A or SAQ A-EP, not SAQ D. Smaller scope means smaller audit means cheaper QSA bill.

04

Banking-as-a-Service plumbing without lock-in.

Unit, Treasury Prime, Synapse, Increase, Column — the BaaS integration playbook covers all five. Provider-agnostic abstractions where the cost is reasonable, not over-engineered when you'll only ever have one.

05

KYC/AML wiring, not a KYC strategy.

Persona, Alloy, Sumsub, Plaid Identity Verification — we wire what you've picked. We're software engineers, not BSA officers. Your compliance team owns the policy; we own the integration.

06

Webhooks that survive bad networks.

Signature verification, replay-window enforcement, deduplication, dead-letter queues, retry with backoff. Stripe / Plaid / partner-bank webhooks land in your queue cleanly or alert your on-call — not silently disappear.

Why Hayaiti

Why us for fintech specifically.

Fintech software is unforgiving in two specific ways: regulatory exposure if you cut corners, and customer trust if a single transaction goes sideways. Our build playbook covers payment integrations, double-entry ledgers, BaaS pipelines, and reconciliation jobs that survive month-end close. We are NOT a money transmitter, a bank, a registered investment advisor, or compliance counsel — we are the engineering layer underneath the regulatory wrapper your fintech-attorney built. That separation is the right one; we keep our hands clean of policy decisions and ship code that does what your compliance docs say it does.

  • Web App MVP SKU: $19,995 / 30 days — auth + Stripe + dashboard + ledger primitives
  • Custom API SKU: $14,995 / 28 days — payment integrations, BaaS plumbing, webhook handlers
  • Embedded Engineer subscription: $5,995/mo — 1 senior engineer, async, pause anytime
  • TypeScript + Python + Postgres + Stripe + Plaid + Inngest — boring on purpose
  • We are NOT a money transmitter, NOT a bank, NOT compliance counsel
  • Source code yours from day one, in your repo, under your account
  • No discovery call. Pricing on the page.

Shape of work

What a Fintech engagement looks like.

FintechBoutique broker-dealer · ~$400M AUM

Broker API + nightly reconciliation

A small fintech needed to connect their internal book to a clearing broker's API and reconcile positions, cash, and corporate actions every night without manual intervention. Their existing approach was a CSV download + Excel macro maintained by one person.

Spec engagement built to set the bar — same playbook a real client gets. Real cases publish after launch with the client’s sign-off.

FAQ

What fintech teams ask before they buy.

Are you a money transmitter or registered with FinCEN?

+

No. We build software that other companies use to move money under their own licenses or partner-bank arrangements. The MTL, the BSA program, the FinCEN registration — those belong to you (or your sponsor bank). We write the code that talks to the rails.

Can you architect us for a specific BaaS provider?

+

Yes — the BaaS integration playbook covers Unit, Treasury Prime, Increase, and Synapse. Tell us which sponsor bank arrangement you have or want, and we architect the data model + webhook handlers around their API. If you haven't picked a provider yet, we can scope a comparison call as a quick-bid SKU.

Do you implement KYC/AML programs?

+

We implement the integrations (Persona, Alloy, Sumsub, Plaid IDV), the data model, the workflow state machines, and the audit logs. The actual program — risk thresholds, escalation rules, SAR filing — that's your compliance officer's call. We give them the tools that make their decisions enforceable in code.

How do you handle PCI compliance?

+

Architect for scope reduction first: tokenize at the edge so card data never hits your servers. We aim for SAQ A or SAQ A-EP, not SAQ D — that's a 10x difference in audit complexity. The formal QSA assessment is by a licensed Qualified Security Assessor; we refer to QSAs in our network.

Can you handle high-volume payments processing?

+

Define 'high-volume'. The architecture is sized for thousands of transactions per minute reliably with idempotency + queueing. For genuine high-frequency or sub-millisecond requirements (HFT-adjacent fintech), we'll tell you upfront if it's outside our wheelhouse.

Will you sign an NDA before scoping?

+

Yes — mutual NDA, sent as PDF before the first technical call. Standard for fintech work; we don't share architecture or strategy with anyone, internally or externally.

What about real-time payments (RTP, FedNow)?

+

We integrate via your sponsor bank's RTP/FedNow endpoints. We've worked with Treasury Prime, Increase, and Column for RTP rails. The 24/7 availability requirement changes how you architect retries and reconciliation — we know what that looks like.
