- Personal finance and budgeting

- Insurance (insurtech)
What makes fintech expensive
Money and regulation. Most fintech products need identity verification (KYC), fraud prevention, strong authentication, encryption, audit trails and integrations with banks or licensed partners. Working with Banking-as-a-Service or payment providers reduces licensing burden but adds integration work. These requirements drive the fintech app development cost more than screens or design.
