The Challenge

FinTrack wanted a consumer app that could connect to multiple Indonesian banks, categorize transactions automatically, and surface actionable insights — without ever storing raw credentials or violating OJK data privacy regulations.

Our Solution

We built OAuth-based bank connectors with a zero-knowledge credential architecture: credentials never touch our servers. Transaction data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 per user key. An ML classifier auto-categorizes 92% of transactions correctly on first sync.

Building Trust in FinTech: The Security Architecture

Zero-knowledge credential handling was non-negotiable. Bank OAuth tokens are encrypted client-side before transmission. Our backend only ever sees encrypted blobs — we literally cannot read your bank credentials even if we wanted to.

ML Transaction Categorization

Indonesian bank transaction descriptions are notoriously messy (merchant names truncated, inconsistent formatting). We trained a BERT-based classifier on 2 million Indonesian transaction descriptions to achieve 92% auto-categorization accuracy.

The Result

FinTrack hit 50,000 active users within 4 months of launch with a 4.8-star average across Google Play and the App Store. OJK compliance passed first review with zero findings.
