Transaction Security: Securing sensitive data and protecting transactions from fraud and malicious attacks was a top priority.
Managing Integration Complexity: Adding multiple external APIs for live exchange rates, transaction processing, and payment gateways made maintaining data consistency and smooth operation a challenge.
Handling High Traffic and Scalability: The system needed to support multiple users and transactions, especially during peak times, without compromising performance or reliability.
Delivering a User-Friendly Experience: Creating a platform that simplifies complex currency exchange processes and offers a seamless, intuitive interface for global users was critical to customer satisfaction.
