FinTech & Payments

Fintech software that passes the audit.

Payments, wallets, and financial platforms carry real money and real regulators. Tarmac builds them with PCI-DSS and SOC 2 rigor from the first commit, proven by a payments leader that cleared three PCI-DSS audits and a blockchain smart-wallet we still maintain.

The context

What makes fintech different

Financial software fails in expensive ways. These are the pressures we build for.

Compliance is not optional

PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and audit trails are table stakes. We architect for them from the first commit instead of retrofitting them under deadline pressure.

Trust is the product

In finance, reliability and security are the value. Downtime, data leaks, or a failed reconciliation cost customers and credibility at the same time.

The stack keeps moving

Cards, wallets, blockchain, real-time rails, and new regulators. You need a team that keeps up without betting the platform on a fad.

Compliance handled

PCI-DSS and SOC 2, built in

We don’t bolt compliance on at the end. Multi-account isolation, Terraform, CI/CD, peer review, and audit trails come standard, so your platform is ready when the assessors arrive.

Questions, answered

FinTech development FAQ

Can you build software that passes a PCI-DSS audit?

Yes. We helped a Swiss payments leader clear three PCI-DSS audits across two products while migrating to AWS. We treat compliance as an engineering requirement, architected in from the start with multi-account isolation, Terraform, and CI/CD.

Do you work with blockchain and crypto payments?

We do. For Pillar we built and maintained a blockchain smart-wallet plus its supporting web services on AWS Lambda and ECS. We stay technology-agnostic and pick the rails that fit the product, not the hype.

How do you handle security and SOC 2 expectations?

Tarmac operates to SOC 2 standards, and our Tarmac 10 process enforces peer review, automated tests, and repository hygiene on every change. That means your customers’ security teams and your auditors see the controls they expect.

Can you plug into our existing fintech team?

That is our model. Team as a Service means senior engineers who join your team, work in your time zone, and scale up or down as your roadmap gets spiky, without a rebuild or a long ramp.
