The Challenge
Payouts needed an enterprise-grade platform to automate vendor management and global payment processing. Their existing workflows relied on manual spreadsheets and fragmented banking relationships: slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale.
Constraints & Requirements
- Multi-jurisdiction compliance (KYC, AML) across 50+ countries
- Airwallex API integration production-ready in 8 weeks
- Architecture supporting 10× transaction growth without refactoring
- PCI DSS-level data handling for payment information
Our Approach
Discover
Mapped existing vendor onboarding workflows, identified 14 manual steps that could be automated. Audited compliance requirements for priority markets.
Design
Designed vendor onboarding with conditional compliance forms per jurisdiction. Built component-level design system. Validated flows with 5 existing clients.
Build
Sprint-based development. React.js frontend, NestJS backend with modular payment corridors. Airwallex SDK for multi-currency processing.
Launch
Staged rollout: US first, then EU, then APAC. Canary deployments with real-time error monitoring.
Iterate
Post-launch: simplified KYC flow reducing 12% drop-off to 4%.
The Solution
End-to-end development of a React.js + NestJS platform with Airwallex integration for global payment processing, automated vendor onboarding, and real-time compliance monitoring.
