ApTap

Description

ApTap is a white label bill management application that sits within your banking app and uses Open Banking to build up a customer profile and track habits across all accounts. (Grey label/Referral, with API Integration options, are also available).

1. Analyses customer data by connecting to utility providers through open banking and APIs.
2. Tracks the latest market deals/price comparisons.
3. Switches contracts seamlessly through the banking app.
4. Deals with payment rails.
5. Manages user/supplier communications.

Key Features

User Authentication
Users are issued 24-hour tokens and referenced against unique identifiers via the OAuth 2.0 server whenever the customer logs in or takes an action within the application.

Backend Encryption
Data is encrypted in-flight and at rest with AES 256-bit encryption. We use MongoDB Atlas deployed on AWS to maintain the highest level of database security.

Internal Processes
The production, development and testing environments sit behind MFA and a secure VPN. Only the CTO and head developer can push code to production.
