Building a fintech app with Flask? Let us review it.
Expert code review for fintech apps built with Flask. We fix Flask-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Flask issues we find
Real problems from Flask codebases we've reviewed.
Debug mode in production
Flask's built-in debugger left enabled in production, exposing an interactive console that allows remote code execution on the server.
Hardcoded secret key
SECRET_KEY set to a default or short string like 'secret' instead of a cryptographically random value loaded from environment variables.
No CSRF protection
Forms and state-changing endpoints without Flask-WTF CSRF tokens, enabling cross-site request forgery attacks.
Running with flask run in production
Using Flask's development server in production instead of gunicorn or uWSGI, which is single-threaded and not designed for real traffic.
Fintech App challenges to solve
Key fintech app concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Data encryption and storage
Financial data must be encrypted at rest and in transit. Account numbers, transaction histories, and personally identifiable financial information need field-level encryption, not just HTTPS. AI tools store financial data in plain text in the database, which is a compliance violation waiting to happen.
Transaction integrity
Financial transactions must be atomic — money debited from one account must be credited to another, with no in-between state where it disappears. AI-generated code doesn't use database transactions, meaning a server crash mid-operation can leave accounts in an inconsistent state.
Audit trail and compliance
Every financial action needs an immutable log — who initiated it, when, what changed, and what the balances were before and after. Regulators require this. AI tools don't generate audit logging, and retrofitting it into an existing codebase is tedious but essential.
Third-party financial API integration
Connecting to Plaid, Stripe, or banking APIs requires handling OAuth flows, webhook verification, idempotency keys, and retry logic for failed calls. AI tools generate the initial API call but miss the error handling and reliability patterns these services require.
What we check
Key areas we review for Flask fintech app projects.
Data encryption — field-level encryption for sensitive financial data
Transaction integrity — atomic operations, no partial state changes
Audit logging — immutable records of every financial action
Authentication — MFA, session management, account lockout policies

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a fintech app built with Flask?
Yes. We regularly audit Flask fintech app projects and understand the specific patterns and pitfalls of this combination. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What issues do you find in Flask fintech apps?
Common issues include debug mode in production and hardcoded secret key on the Flask side, combined with fintech app-specific concerns like data encryption and storage and transaction integrity. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Flask fintech app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Flask fintech app projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address fintech app-specific requirements, optimize Flask performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
