Why fintech teams choose Fraction

Fintech is the hardest place to ship software and the least forgiving place to ship it badly. Payments, ledgers, KYC, regulated data, audit trails, and integrations that cannot go down. You do not want a developer learning your domain on your dime.

Fraction is an AI-era software factory: senior US engineers directing AI agents to build software end to end. We were founded by an operator who built and scaled a financial services platform, HiddenLevers, and sold it to Orion in 2021, so fintech is not a vertical we wandered into. For your build, we place developers who have already shipped regulated financial software, then accelerate them with AI so they move in a fraction of the usual time. The engineer directs the agents and reviews every line.

Hire a developer to augment your team, or have us build the whole product. Either way you own the code, there is no team to hire or manage, and you know the cost before work starts.

Maintenance and modernization

Update legacy systems, keep compliance current, and move to modern stacks, including new technology such as LLM integration, with ongoing support.

How it works

From idea to shipped, without the overhead

01

Tell us what you are building.

Bring a feature, a backlog, or a full product idea. We scope it and give you a plan and a cost before any work begins.

02

We match you to a senior fintech developer.

US-based, 10+ years on average, vetted by an MIT engineer who specializes in fintech, and matched to your stack and your corner of the industry.

03

They ship, directing AI agents.

Your engineer runs a suite of AI agents to move up to 10x faster and reviews everything that ships. An included software architect guides the build and a project manager keeps it on track.

04

You own it.

No subscriptions, no lock-in, no platform to stay on. The code is yours.

Pricing

What does it cost to hire a fintech developer?

There are two ways to pay, and you choose the one that fits how you work. Every engagement starts at $6,000/month.

Option 1

Pay by the outcome.

We scope the work, price it upfront, and you pay as features ship. No hourly billing and no surprises.

Best when you have a defined product or set of features to build, and pricing is set per project once we scope it.

Option 2

Time-based pricing.

Bring on a senior developer for a set amount of time each month and direct the work yourself. Best when you are augmenting an existing team.

Engagements start at $6,000/month and scale with the time commitment.

Rent it or own it?

For years the math favored renting. Building software meant a big team and a long timeline, so you paid a monthly subscription for a tool that almost fit. AI changed that math. With senior US engineers directing AI agents, custom software your firm owns outright is faster and cheaper to build than it has ever been, and for many of the tools you rent today, owning now costs less than subscribing.

This is sharpest in wealthtech. If you run an advisory firm, our free tool Burn the Map lets you map the vendors in your stack and see which ones cost more to rent than to build and own. Pick your tools, see the math, and find what you would save by owning instead of subscribing. When you decide to replace one, we build it, your firm owns it, and the subscription stops.
