Level 2

The Front End

React

ReactNative is a JavaScript based framework used in cross-platform mobile development (i.e. using the same code for iOS and Android) while giving apps a completely native look/feel. Using the same code for both platforms. We use React because it is scalable, fast and simple and allows us to build large Launchpad web apps which use data that can change over time without reloading the page.

CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets with an emphasis placed on “Style.” While HTML is used to structure a web document (defining things like headlines and paragraphs, and allowing you to embed images, video, and other media), CSS comes through and specifies your document’s style—page layouts, colors, and fonts are all determined with CSS.

HTML

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It allows the user to create and structure sections, paragraphs, headings, links, and blockquotes for web pages and applications. When working with HTML, we use simple code structures (tags and attributes) to mark up a website page.

Level 3

The Back End

Python

We use Python for its simplicity and because it provides one of the highest levels of security to protect end user account details. It is also flexible enough to align with specific country level rules, while integrating with various 3rd party’s API to faciliatate essential transactions and smooth data transfers.

PHP

This is our preferred application for clients with light and simpler requirements for Launchpad. The applications’ cross platform suitability and the speed and easy of use makes this an efficient choice for clients requiring a smooth and fast market launch.

Node.js

Node.JS is a JavaScript runtime environment which allows the infrastructure to build and run an application. It has become the standard for enterprise-level apps and large scale organisations. It’s event-driven I/O model which makes it extremely efficient and makes scalable network application possible, which is very important when dealing with large volumes of financial transactions.

The Fintech Stack

Flexible by nature

One primary factor that distinguishes “Fintech challengers” from traditional banking is their flexibility and ability to adapt to the ever changing consumer expectations and demands. However, there are two conflicting forces in the world of Fintech. On the one hand, an organisation has to move quickly and bend to the will of its (new) customers in terms of features and functionality, but on the other hand finance is one of the most regulated industries in the world, meaning that one has to adhere with compliance, incorporate tested security and fraud prevention, i.e. things which are in their very nature slow.

Ideally, the stack which you rely on should give you freedom to keep many options open. You should be able to pivot the design and functionality in accordance with new regulations and market opportunities that arise with them, both quickly and securely.

Stability and security are core values for Pannovate. It is vitally important that all our products offer the highest quality, compliance and stability and most of all we understand its importance to our customers.
