Time ⌛ is running by so fast, but classic business banks are still so slow—especially the onboarding flow. Fees are high, UI/UX is not intuitive and customer support is usually lacking.
This is a critical problem to solve because businesses are the vehicles of innovation. If you hinder their progress, you hinder innovation and progress itself. Now more than ever we need businesses to take the lead and drive us forward.
Our client decided to build an all-in-one banking solution with Paralect. The goal 🎯 is to be a full-service alternative to traditional banks—a dynamic financial platform and bank of the future.
Today, Intergiro is Fintech designed to meet the financial needs of digital businesses: banking, FX, card issuing & card acquiring in one place!

From the very beginning it was clear that Intergiro would be an ambitious and challenging project. Development of Intergiro began in May 2017.
In April 2018 the first version of the bank product was launched! A huge piece of work was done in just 11 months and the 1st iteration included:

It was the first important milestone for our Paralect team and our Partner. The team put a lot of effort into making the onboarding flow simple for clients and businesses.
The focus on smooth and quick onboarding allowed Intergiro to immediately outpace classic, slow incumbents in the banking sector.
The project continued to evolve — adding more payment providers to gain new customers and build better loyalty with existing ones.
During the next period (2018-2020) we were focused on the following goals:
Digital and physical card issuing and payments implementation This major update gave the business the capacity to win a larger market share step by step. And for Paralect to realize we are capable of bringing to life the most complicated ideas!

I was a part of some of the beta testing of this tool. I used it to help my clients (I do conversion optimization work). I LOVED IT. In short, it's the simplest way I've been able to bridge the gap between doing customer research and then *turning that into great, money-making copy* Peep is a CRO badass, and this product reflects his experience and fills a gap that is needed. Love it.
Paralect helped us design and build our banking system from the ground up.
To begin with, we still work with them 4 years after the first interaction. This on its own is a significant outcome. Our platform was the safe home to 1/4 Billion EURO of client funds.
Paralect worked with us to design, build and test everything in the early bank system. They even helped us design and implement our dev process and they provided recruitment advice and interview support when we started to hire our own people.
The people were incredible. Very very honest and wholesome people, from the juniors all the way to the leaders.
