Challenge
- PCI DSS certification and FCA approval, ensuring full regulatory compliance
- Ultra-low latency transactions under 250 milliseconds, delivering a seamless user experience.
- Successful integration of multiple third-party APIs, including GPS, Xero, and CashFlows
Umoja was preparing for expansion into multiple global markets. The mission was ambitious: build a secure, accessible payment gateway while developing a decentralized credit platform capable of attracting investors worldwide. The roadmap existed, but timelines had tightened. The platform needed:
- a seamless payment system for global investor participation
- a decentralized credit engine to onboard MSMEs
- infrastructure to complete the “last mile” of a global payment ecosystem
- a faster, more reliable development cycle
Umoja required rapid scaling, stability, and engineering support to reach their next milestone.
