Devin + Fintech App

Built a fintech app with Devin?
We'll make it production-ready.

Financial apps handle the most sensitive data there is — bank accounts, transactions, and personal financial information. A single security flaw can mean stolen funds, regulatory penalties, or permanent loss of user trust. AI tools can prototype a budgeting dashboard or invoicing system quickly, but the compliance, encryption, and audit requirements for financial software are far beyond what any AI tool generates out of the box.

Fintech App challenges in Devin apps

Building a fintech app with Devin is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.

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.

Authentication and fraud prevention

Financial apps need multi-factor authentication, session timeout policies, device fingerprinting, and suspicious activity detection. Basic email/password auth from AI tools is nowhere near sufficient for an app that touches people's money.

Number precision and currency handling

JavaScript floating-point math causes rounding errors with money — $0.1 + $0.2 !== $0.3. AI tools use standard floats for currency calculations, which leads to penny discrepancies that compound over time and break reconciliation.

Regulatory awareness

Depending on what your app does, you may need to comply with PCI DSS, SOC 2, KYC/AML requirements, or state money transmitter regulations. AI tools have no awareness of these requirements, and non-compliance can result in fines or forced shutdowns.

What we check in your Devin fintech app

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
API security — webhook verification, idempotency, retry logic
Currency handling — integer-based math, no floating-point for money
Input validation — strict validation on all financial inputs and amounts
Rate limiting — abuse prevention on sensitive endpoints
Error handling — failures never leave transactions in inconsistent states
Access control — role-based permissions for financial operations

Common Devin issues we fix

Beyond fintech app-specific issues, these are Devin patterns we commonly fix.

highSecurity

Autonomous security decisions

Devin makes security-related decisions without human review — choosing auth strategies, setting permissions, and configuring access controls that may be inadequate.

highCode Quality

Compounding architectural errors

When Devin makes an early architectural mistake, it builds subsequent features on top of it. By the time you notice, the issue is deeply embedded in the codebase.

mediumBugs

Workarounds instead of fixes

When Devin encounters an error, it sometimes adds workarounds that mask the root cause rather than fixing the underlying issue.

mediumPerformance

Inefficient retry patterns

Devin's debugging approach sometimes results in retry logic and fallback patterns that hide errors rather than resolving them, impacting performance.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a fintech app with Devin?

Devin is a great starting point for a fintech app. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but fintech apps have specific requirements — data encryption and storage and transaction integrity — that need professional attention before launch.

What issues does Devin leave in fintech apps?

Common issues include: autonomous security decisions, compounding architectural errors, workarounds instead of fixes. For a fintech app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for data encryption and storage.

How do I make my Devin fintech app production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Devin-built fintech apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.

How much does it cost to fix a Devin-built fintech app?

Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger fintech app projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
