Orange Bank: development of a bank in 500 days
Orange Bank
Front-end, Back-end, Architecture, Mobile Development
Orange Bank is a digital bank that arrived in Spain in 2017 with the challenge of creating a bank from scratch in record time, aiming to extend this technology to other countries in the future. The Orange Bank proposal materialized in a mobile application with a native interface, ensuring the best mobile experience in the market. The Logixs team was responsible for developing both the front-end and back-end, the architecture, and the mobile application. The application allowed customers to perform everyday banking operations, check expenses, pay with Apple Pay, transfer funds, and manage their cards. A chat feature provided personalized support to the customers.
Challenges
- The challenges were addressed by Logixs' team of developers, who closely collaborated with the bank's internal team. They participated in the analysis, definition, and execution of the backend architecture and Apps, applying an adaptation of the Spotify model with tribes and squads.
- Their work involved conceptualizing, designing, and implementing a highly scalable, robust, and maintainable architecture, applying TDD throughout the development cycle and adhering to the best code standards (SOLID Principles). Active collaboration between both teams was crucial to ensure that the solution aligned with the strategic objectives and exceeded the expectations of both the bank and its clients.
Key Success Factors
User-Centered Design
Placing the customer at the center of the experience was a priority, designing an intuitive and functional interface that met the needs and preferences of the user.
Agile Methodologies
The implementation of agile methodologies enabled efficient project management, facilitating rapid iteration and continuous deployment of improvements.
