Fintech Platform: Buy vs Skip (Agency Neobank Delivery)
IF your agency already serves fintech startups, real estate crowdfunding platforms, or investment funds and can absorb a 60-hour setup plus 10 hours per month per client, THEN Fintech Platform's Starter tier at 1,900 €/mo covers up to 1,000 end-users with white-label front office, custom domain, and KYC/AML workflows, and Growth at 4,700 €/mo removes the end-user and automation-run caps. IF your delivery model is generalist marketing retainers with no compliance staff, THEN the EUR-denominated monthly commitment and reseller liability make this a skip until you have a fintech-specific book of business.

Fintech Platform: Buy vs Skip (Agency Neobank Delivery)
“IF your agency already serves fintech startups, real estate crowdfunding platforms, or investment funds and can absorb a 60-hour setup plus 10 hours per month per client, THEN Fintech Platform's Starter tier at 1,900 €/mo covers up to 1,000 end-users with white-label front office, custom domain, and KYC/AML workflows, and Growth at 4,700 €/mo removes the end-user and automation-run caps. IF your delivery model is generalist marketing retainers with no compliance staff, THEN the EUR-denominated monthly commitment and reseller liability make this a skip until you have a fintech-specific book of business.”
- Agency already runs delivery for a fintech startup, crowdfunding platform, or investment fund that needs a branded account product rather than another marketing site
- Client roster can absorb a 60-hour setup and roughly 10 hours per month of platform administration, KYC/AML configuration, and compliance reporting
- Pipeline includes at least one client that will exceed 1,000 end-users or 1,000 automation runs per month, which justifies moving from Starter at 1,900 €/mo to Growth at 4,700 €/mo
- Agency is prepared to operate as a financial service reseller and carry the compliance filings and regulatory exposure that come with the white-label front office
- Client wants debit card issuing, IBAN accounts, and multi-asset management delivered under the agency's own domain, colors, and logos instead of a co-branded vendor portal
- Agency's client base is generalist SMB marketing or ops work with no fintech, crowdfunding, or fund clients to place on the platform
- No internal owner for KYC/AML workflows, transaction monitoring dashboards, or compliance reporting, so the 60-hour setup would stall after configuration
- Client volume stays well under 1,000 end-users and 1,000 automation runs per month, making the 1,900 €/mo Starter floor hard to recover inside a retainer
- Agency cannot commit to EUR-denominated monthly billing at 1,900 € or 4,700 € and needs a dollar-priced or usage-only cost structure
- The engagement is a one-off build with no recurring administration budget, since the platform's value depends on ongoing compliance and account management work
