Engineering a feature-fledged application to digitize payments in the US
ScanPay offers a Payment and Banking solution that enables small and medium businesses in the US to accept digital payments (in an offline environment) of any type from their end user and receive instant payouts to their ScanPay banking account.
Client Requirement
Established with the mission to bridge the gap caused by the lack of an instant banking system, ScanPay wanted to build a platform that would be an alternative for card payment, the most used payment mode and the bank-to-bank transfer, in the United States. They leveraged the technical expertise of KeyValue for this.
Building an application to digitize payments
KeyValue’s solution paved the way for the evolution of ScanPay as a neo-banking application. Through ScanPay banking, the users were able to make instant payouts to ScanPay bank accounts and use the ScanPay debit card to use the money.
KeyValue was responsible for the entire product development lifecycle of ScanPay, from research to deployment with full ownership of design, development, QA, and deployment.
The modern, intuitive mobile and web applications that were built enabled the users to collect digital payments on the go and get payouts instantly.
