Ebury
Mobilising global transactions for a fast-growing fintech
Taking global transactions from web to mobile
Ebury is a global fintech company offering business accounts, international payments, currency hedging and working capital loans to help companies trade across borders.
Their mission is to make international trade more accessible, using their own platform to help businesses of all sizes handle global transactions and payments, borderless. They process more than £27 billion in transactions a year, covering international payments and collections, FX in over 130 currencies, FX risk management and business lending.
Ebury already had a strong website and API behind it, but staying relevant in a competitive market meant taking that offering mobile. With Apadmi’s mobile expertise and background in financial services, we were well placed to bring Ebury’s platform to life on mobile, and turn it into a genuine channel for customer engagement and retention.
A smart, stable mobile solution
Working alongside Ebury’s in-house team using SCRUM methodology, we built and delivered a native iOS app that lets users pay suppliers, employees and partners, and receive funds in multiple currencies worldwide. It also converts balances between currencies and checks live rates.
Built for security
Security was central to the project; the app needed to handle transactions of hundreds of thousands of pounds securely, while meeting every relevant regulatory requirement. We built the security framework from the ground up, aligned with OWASP standards.
A reason to leave the web portal behind
For customers to actually switch from web to app, the app needed to offer something new, not just recreate the existing experience. Previously, getting an estimated rate meant a detour into the web portal. The app’s new live Currency Checker removes that step altogether, letting customers check rates in real time as part of the transaction itself.
A seamless partnership
Collaboration between the Apadmi and Ebury teams has been strong throughout; sprint goals were regularly exceeded, and the focus on flexibility and open communication paid off. Early customer feedback has been strongly positive.
Results
The result is a secure, high-performing mobile experience that gives Ebury’s customers more flexibility to manage global transactions on the go.
