Limitless Creations performed an initial consultancy to determine the state of the current app and make recommendations. We determined that the initial app was well built, but did not make use of some of the newer and more modern features now present in Xamarin Forms. As the domain experts, we were asked to train full-time staff in mobile development technology so that the bank could retain knowledge in-house rather than relying on outside expertise for critical intellectual property. 

 

Security, privacy, and accuracy are of paramount importance when developing a mobile application, particularly in the financial sector. If a social media app crashes, or a game stops working, then it generally does not impact the user. If a banking app has a problem, then the potential impact to the user could be life altering. Code is thoroughly tested, repeatedly and under many different scenarios. Vanquis employs one full time testing engineer for every developer, and multiple devices and operating systems are tested continually. Limitless Creations worked closely with a penetration testing team, who’s specific task was to try to find vulnerabilities in the application.
