Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about fintech software development.

Can a FinTech MVP qualify for FCA Regulatory Sandbox?

Yes — if your product involves genuine innovation in regulated financial services. Sandbox applications require: working software (or advanced prototype), evidence of consumer benefit, regulatory compliance plans, and a defined test scope. ClickMasters supports the technical appendix of Sandbox applications.

How long does a FinTech MVP take?

A standard FinTech MVP takes 10–16 weeks. Regulated MVPs (FCA Sandbox-ready, with AML/KYC) take 14–20 weeks. The additional time is for compliance architecture, security testing, and regulatory evidence compilation.
