Financial Services Developers
You got into fintech to democratize finance. Why are you still building on infrastructure from the 1980s?
You're here to build inclusive banking, frictionless payments, accessible investing platforms that actually serve people. But you're stuck with security models designed for mainframes and compliance frameworks that assume data can't be trusted. Your breakthrough fintech ideas get strangled by legacy infrastructure that treats every user interaction as a potential fraud case.
It's time to build financial infrastructure that's secure because it's well-designed, not because it's locked down.
Source gives you a verifiable database that runs everywhere your financial apps do — from mobile wallets to branch systems to trading floors. With DefraDB, you get cryptographic security, regulatory compliance, and audit-ready logs built into the foundation, not bolted on as compliance theater.
The Legacy Mindset That's Killing Innovation
You came here to transform how people interact with money, not to maintain 40-year-old security models:
The entire financial stack assumes data can't be trusted — so you build expensive, slow verification layers instead of trustworthy foundations
Compliance is security theater — checkbox frameworks that make systems slower and more complex without actually improving security
Legacy integration is holding everyone hostage — your innovative payment app has to work with core banking systems that predate the internet
Centralized everything creates single points of failure — when AWS goes down, half the fintech ecosystem stops working
Real-time fraud detection is impossible — by the time data reaches your fraud engine, the money is already gone
Audit requirements force bad architecture — you're building systems to satisfy regulators, not to serve users
The financial industry's obsession with control is preventing the innovation that would actually make finance more secure and accessible.
Build financial services that are trustworthy by design
DefraDB embeds cryptographic verification directly into your data layer.
No more security as an afterthought. No more compliance as a separate system. No more explaining why modern fintech has to work like 1980s banking.
What becomes possible when you build trust into the foundation:
Cryptographically verifiable everything
Every transaction is signed and tamper-evident from the moment it's created
Real-time fraud prevention
Verify transactions locally at the edge before they can cause damage
Actually offline-first
ATMs, mobile banking, and payment terminals work through outages — because money shouldn't depend on internet connectivity
Compliance that doesn't slow you down
Field-level access controls and data governance built into the database, not layered on top
Legacy integration without compromise
Add modern security to core banking systems without rewriting 40 years of COBOL
True financial inclusion
Build apps that work reliably in areas with poor connectivity or limited infrastructure
Stop building separate audit logging, access control, and governance systems that slow everything down
Deploy one cryptographically secure database from mobile apps to core banking integration
Handle regulatory requirements with built-in database features instead of custom compliance layers
Enable real innovation by eliminating the infrastructure tax that makes every feature take months
Build financial services that work for everyone, not just people with perfect internet connections
Infrastructure that matches your vision
Trust built-in, not bolted-on
Cryptographic verification at every layer eliminates the need for expensive verification infrastructure
Actually secure fraud detection
Real-time verification at the transaction point, not after-the-fact detection
Legacy-compatible revolution
Modernize existing systems without multi-year migration projects
Inclusion-ready
Reliable operation in low-connectivity environments enables global financial access
Innovation-first compliance
Regulatory requirements that accelerate development instead of blocking it
