iBanFirst.
Platform engineering, QA, and hosting for a European payments fintech.
The client
iBanFirst moves money for businesses — payments in 135+ currencies across 180+ countries, more than €2 billion processed every month for over 10,000 companies, profitable since 2024.
The brief
A payments company growing that fast needs its web platform to keep pace: fifteen locale variants across a dozen European markets, new product pages shipped weekly — without engineering becoming the bottleneck.
What we did
- Collaborated with iBanFirst’s design agency on the website experience
- Engineered the platform backend in Python, Django, and Wagtail
- Built a CMS architecture that runs fifteen locales — their team ships pages, no engineers required
- Comprehensive quality assurance across markets and locales
- Host, monitor, and maintain the platform in production
Where it stands
Seven years on retainer and counting. The platform has run in production under our care since 2019 — through a full rebrand, new markets, and iBanFirst’s FCA-licensed UK launch.
