01 What does Nimi specialize in?

We focus on fintech infrastructure (payments, KYC, banking-as-a-service), custom software development, iOS and Android app development, QA automation, and web development.

Every team we assign is AI-native, with engineers trained through our proprietary Nimi Grow program and focused on your product outcomes.

02 What fintech integrations does Nimi have hands-on experience with?

Our teams have hands-on experience with integrations including Stripe, Plaid, Marqeta, Salesforce, HighNote, Spade, and Twisp, along with KYC/AML workflows and banking-as-a-service platforms. This is the kind of infrastructure work where compliance details have to be right the first time.

03 Do we get a dedicated team, or shared contractors?

You get a dedicated team assigned to your project. The same engineers stay with your codebase for the life of the engagement, working as an extension of your team rather than rotating contractors.

04 Who owns the code and IP once a project is delivered?

You retain full ownership of all code, IP, and deliverables produced during the engagement. Nimi builds alongside your team, and the assets are yours.

05 How does Nimi handle security, compliance, and confidentiality?

Engagements are covered by NDAs from day one, and our operations follow SOC-aligned security practices. That baseline is non-negotiable given the payments and fintech data we work with.

06 How much does a typical project with Nimi cost?

Projects with Nimi start at $10,000+, with an average hourly rate of $25–$49/hr. Most engagements start at $50,000. For more complex work where the scope requires a pod size greater than 4 for as long as a year, expect those projects to be in the $200,000+ range.

07 How soon can we start a project?

Most engagements kick off within 1–2 weeks of an initial scoping call. Because the whole team works in the same time zone, we can usually move from scoping call to kickoff without coordination delays.

08 Do you provide support after launch, or hand off and leave?

We stay involved after launch. Ongoing support and iteration are part of the model, and your team can scale up or down as your roadmap changes, rather than a one-and-done handoff.

09 How is Nimi rated by past clients?

Nimi holds a 4.9 out of 5 overall rating on Clutch, with cost value rated 4.9/5, quality 4.8/5, and on-time delivery 4.8/5. Every review is from a verified client, and they most often describe the team as communicative, flexible, and consistently on time.

10 What kind of companies has Nimi worked with?

Our clients include fintech and startup teams such as DriveWealth, Productfy, Mercoa, Bond, and Natoma Labs (acquired by Snowflake), as well as Pixee, Meli, Fasten, and GolfCard across identity security, enterprise SaaS, and travel & recreation. Verified reviews from several of these engagements are on our Clutch profile, and more of our work is on our portfolio page.

11 What is it like working with the Nimi team?

Nimi is an experienced team of AI-native developers working out of the Sri Lankan time zone, while our executive team is spread across European and US Pacific time zones. That gives customers plenty of time in their own working hours to clarify the most important priorities, so the development team can pick up the work and move fast as soon as the day ends in the West, essentially providing 24/7 coverage.

12 How long has Nimi been in business?

Nimi was founded in 2021 and has spent 5 years delivering product engineering for fintech companies and startups across the United States and Western markets.

13 How involved is the Nimi leadership team?

Nimi is a small, nimble team, and that is exactly what lets us move fast. That speed does not make the experience transactional. If anything, it is the opposite: our customers have repeatedly commended how involved Nimi's senior leadership stays, and you can expect us to partner with you to achieve your outcomes.
