Tampa Bay · Fintech
We are the fintech development partner for founders in Tampa Bay who want a locally accountable team and senior-only engineering. One Tampa client in production trading. Broader fintech work across payments, lending, and business finance.
If you are a Tampa fintech founder, you have three meaningful options: hire a coastal specialist agency at coastal prices, hire a Tampa generalist who has not shipped regulated fintech, or hire us. We are the third option. The case studies and the FAQ below explain what that actually means and what we will not do.
The fintech surfaces we have shipped at least once across Tampa Bay, Boston, and Arizona engagements. Tampa-specific accountability across all of them.
Real-time market data, order routing, account dashboards for retail and institutional users, audit logs that satisfy a regulator. Our Tampa client runs a trading-experience platform that serves both audiences from a single codebase. Live in production.
Marketplace payouts, tokenized PAN handling, dispute and refund flows, operator console. Stripe Connect Standard, Express, and Custom flows; Adyen and Marqeta when the unit economics call for it.
Loan origination, underwriting workflows, lender-borrower matching, repayment schedules, KYC/KYB for both sides of the marketplace.
Accounts payable and receivable, ledger reconciliation, expense workflows, multi-entity reporting. Replaces a spreadsheet stack for SMB and mid-market clients.
Tampa fintech case study
A trading platform serving both individual and institutional investors, built for a Tampa-based client. Real-time market data, multi-stakeholder dashboards, audit-ready logging.
The other three fintech platforms we shipped are for clients in Boston and Arizona (plus one that prefers to stay unnamed). Tampa accountability, broader experience.

Roughly 30 to 40 percent below NYC or SF fintech specialist agencies for equivalent senior engineering. Same English, same time zone, same compliance literacy.
If your build is a hardware-side fintech (POS terminals, secure elements), we will refer you to a partner. We do not pretend to do everything.
We attend the local meetups, sponsor where it makes sense, and meet local founders in person. Local network is part of the value, not just a SEO claim.
Tampa Bay's fintech scene is still emerging compared to Miami (cross-border, LatAm focus), Jacksonville (Fidelity, Citi, Deutsche Bank back-office), or NYC. What Tampa has: a growing concentration of payments and trading startups, active groups like Tampa Bay Tech and Synapse Florida, and the Tampa Bay Fintech Alliance.
For a founder, this means three things. First, the local agency pool that has actually shipped regulated fintech is small. Second, hiring senior fintech engineers in Tampa is harder than in Miami or NYC, which makes an experienced agency partner more valuable up front. Third, the community is small enough that referrals matter; we get most of our Tampa fintech inquiries through someone you probably already know.
We attend the Tampa Bay Tech monthly events and Synapse Summit when it runs. Daniel speaks at fintech-adjacent groups when invited. The community is genuinely small and we are part of it.
