Fintech Industry Challenges We Solve

🏦

Regulatory Complexity

Australian fintech is governed by APRA, ASIC, AUSTRAC, and the RBA simultaneously. Our compliance engineers map every feature to the relevant obligation before architecture begins, avoiding costly retrofits.

🔐

Fraud & Cybersecurity

Financial platforms are the primary target of sophisticated nation-state and criminal actors. We implement OWASP ASVS Level 3 security, real-time fraud-detection ML models, and hardware security modules for key management.

Real-Time Payment Rails

Australian consumers expect instant payments via the New Payments Platform (NPP) and PayID. We integrate directly with NPP gateways and build the real-time reconciliation engines that make it seamless.

🔗

Open Banking Integration

The Consumer Data Right (CDR) mandates open APIs for accredited data recipients. We build accredited CDR data-holder and data-recipient software that meets ACCC technical standards and infosec profiles.

📊

AML/CTF Compliance

AUSTRAC enforcement actions have cost Australian fintechs hundreds of millions. Our AML/CTF program software covers customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, suspicious matter reporting, and AUSTRAC regulatory reporting.

🌐

Legacy Core Banking Integration

Many challengers need to integrate with the big-four banks' legacy cores. Our banking API middleware handles ISO 20022, SWIFT, and proprietary core interfaces without exposing sensitive infrastructure.

Engineering Australia's Next Generation of Financial Technology

OpenMalo Technologies has delivered more than 40 fintech products in Australia — from AFSL-holder digital-advice platforms and CDR-accredited Open Banking apps to PCI DSS Level 1 payment gateways and AUSTRAC-registered remittance software. Our fintech team in Melbourne and Sydney brings together financial services domain experts, cloud security architects, and senior engineers who have built systems processing billions of dollars in annual transaction volume.

We partner with founders building greenfield neobanks, established ADIs modernising their digital channels, and payments companies navigating ASIC's evolving regulatory landscape. Our regulatory-first engineering methodology means you go to market faster — with fewer surprises from the regulator.

How We Deliver Fintech Software

01

Regulatory Scoping & Risk Workshop

We map your product to every applicable Australian regulation (APRA, ASIC, AUSTRAC, PCI DSS) before architecture begins, identifying licensing obligations and technical control requirements.

02

Security-First Architecture Design

Our fintech architects produce a threat model, PCI DSS network diagram, data-flow diagram, and APRA CPS 234 compliance matrix — reviewed and signed off before build commences.

03

Agile Build with Compliance Gates

Two-week sprints with automated security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA) in the CI/CD pipeline. Compliance controls are code — not documentation — so they're tested continuously throughout development.

04

Audit-Ready Go-Live & Ongoing Support

We produce audit-ready evidence packs for QSA, APRA, and AUSTRAC reviews. Post-launch managed services include 24/7 SOC monitoring, vulnerability management, and regulatory change management.

Fintech Software Development FAQs

Common questions about our fintech software development solutions.

Ask Us Anything →
How much does fintech software development cost in Australia?
Fintech projects with OpenMalo typically range from AUD $20,000 for a focused MVP to AUD $500,000+ for a full digital-banking platform with regulatory compliance built in. We provide a detailed quote after a free discovery session.
Can you help us achieve PCI DSS compliance?
Yes. We design card-data environments with tokenisation and P2PE to minimise PCI DSS scope, produce required policies and procedures, and support your QSA through the Report on Compliance process.
Do you build Consumer Data Right (CDR) Open Banking software?
Yes. We build both CDR data-holder software for ADIs and data-recipient software for accredited fintechs, meeting the ACCC's technical standards, infosec profile, and consent management requirements.
Can you integrate with the New Payments Platform (NPP)?
Yes. We integrate with NPP gateways via direct Osko/PayID connectivity or through sponsor-bank APIs, building real-time payment initiation, PayID registration management, and NPP reconciliation workflows.
How do you address APRA CPS 234 for cloud deployments?
We design cloud architectures with the APRA CPS 234 information-security standard as a baseline — covering data classification, access controls, penetration testing schedules, and third-party risk management documentation required for notification to APRA.
What AML/CTF capabilities can you build into our platform?
We build customer due diligence workflows, politically exposed person (PEP) and sanctions screening integrations, automated transaction-monitoring rule engines, and AUSTRAC Online API integrations for Suspicious Matter Report (SMR) and Threshold Transaction Report (TTR) lodgement.
How long does it take to build a fintech MVP in Australia?
A well-scoped fintech MVP — such as a digital lending origination system or a CDR data-recipient app — typically takes 16–24 weeks from kickoff to go-live. Full-scale platforms are 9–18 months.
Do you work with AFSL holders and AFSL-exempt businesses?
Yes. We build software for AFSL holders, authorised representatives, RG 255-compliant digital-advice platforms, and businesses operating under AFSL exemptions — ensuring your software aligns with your specific licensing obligations.
