Mobile trading for Alex.nl and Binckbank

For leading internet banks Alex.nl and BinckBank.nl we  (ItudeMobile) created a set of mobile trading apps and mobile trading websites to cater for traders in four countries. iPhone, iPad, Android, Android tablet  apps allow smartphone users to view their portfolio and place trades any time, any place. Mobile trading websites provide similar services for legacy phone owners. The mobile trading apps offer complex functionality with over 40 different screens and a wealth of trading functions. Furthermore the apps are integrated directly into the backend systems of the bank. These applications go several steps further than simply viewing quotes. Users can view their bank account and portfolio, access realtime streaming quotes and place trades in stocks and derivatives.

Challenges:

• End-users are used to lots of functionality
• High level of complexity
• Security
• Large organisation requiring large project management effort

What we did:

• Advise on architecture and design of backend API’s
• Facilitation of concept creation and App design
• Interaction design
• Native apps for iPhone, Android, iPad, Android tablet
• Mobile trading websites for legacy devices.
•  Facilitate transition to production

The trading apps for Alex.nl and BinckBank use our proven software libraries for iPhone, Android, Mobile web and server-integration. Porting and simultaneous development between iPhone, iPad, Android and mobile web leveraged our proprietary cross platform design methodology and software libraries.
