The challenge.

A wealth management app locked into Backbase, a legacy SDK: slow delivery, XML layouts and code that was hard to test.

What we did.

  1. Leaving Backbase, step by step

    The SDK replaced one piece at a time, flow after flow.

  2. Clean Architecture and MVI

    Clearly separated layers and predictable screen state, so it can be tested.

  3. A three-layer UI architecture

    The whole interface rebuilt in Jetpack Compose, on a three-layer UI architecture.

  4. The key flows

    Onboarding, portfolio, payments and transactions.

The outcome.

Fewer crashes, faster feature delivery and a codebase the bank’s team can own for the long term.
