Business Overview

Our client is a company that provides a specialized, vertical-specific payment and insurance management software platform tailored to the unique needs of international students and their representatives. Acting as a central hub, this platform enables representative companies globally to manage student-related financial transactions. Representatives utilize the platform to notify students of tuition payments, living expenses, and insurance requirements, with both the client’s company and the students’ representatives earning commissions on these transactions.

As the client expanded its localized solutions across diverse international markets, relying primarily on a user-centric approach, it encountered a critical need for enhanced technical expertise and faced significant time-to-market pressures. To optimize internal workflows, accelerate production velocity, reduce time-to-market, and minimize operational costs, we enhanced the client’s in-house team and assisted them in developing various products within the original ecosystem.

Project Scope

  • Development of the insurance system that provides students with comprehensive health insurance services, a requirement for studying abroad. Using this app, students can choose, manage, and pay for their preferred health insurance most suitable for their needs and budget.
  • Development of the software for student representatives, which serves as an administrative panel for student representatives and enables comprehensive transaction management for payments related to studying in the US.

Challenge

Due to the strict regulatory environment, sensitive data, and compliance with specific industry standards, we had to ensure zero downtime and a high level of security that could safeguard the product against cybersecurity threats and leakage.

Solution

During the platform’s development, we focused on mitigating risks related to access controls within the client’s highly regulated FinTech environment to ensure compliance. Our team operated exclusively within demo and staging environments, which impacted the implementation and testing of external integrations, particularly the tokenization of credit cards. Additionally, we integrated third-party tools like Captcha, Braze, and external payment services for the client’s ecosystem.

Software for Student Representatives Development

We built a robust administrative portal utilizing an advanced technology stack, encompassing student and their representatives and payment functionalities. This included leveraging Cucumber for behavior-driven development and testing, AWS-based architecture for scalability and reliability, and containerization for efficient deployment and resource management. Working alongside the client’s in-house team, we successfully delivered a suite of features within the product:

NIX developed a payment and insurance software for an education provider.

    The User Panel provides detailed information about the agent company, students’ rosters, and documentation.

  • 2

    Virtual Account Service serves as digital wallets and virtual accounts that can transfer money to bank accounts.

    Financial Tracking Management enables users to edit payment records and track automated commission calculations

  • 4

    User Management contains robust user administrative features and customizable settings.

  • 5

    Support Service streamlines the reporting mechanism for support requests.

A significant achievement was the optimization of the user onboarding process. Previously, the manual onboarding flow—involving approvals, pricing tickets, legal agreements, and contract signings—spanned 10 to 14 days. By strategically implementing automation, we achieved a dramatic reduction in onboarding time, shrinking it to just a few days. This was accomplished through:

To develop a solid insurance architecture that could cover all the insurance payments of customers, our team deployed a custom technology stack built on the AWS infrastructure, leveraging containerization, a bespoke CI/CD pipeline, and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) principles. The created comprehensive system provides foreign students with three most valuable insurance policies:

  • Australian OSHC 
  • Australian OVHC
  • New Zealand Student Health

Additionally, our technically savvy specialists powered the product with:

1

Enhanced security and authentication through phone number verification

2

Flexible policy configuration and secure payment request processing by tokenization, encryption, and multi-layered protection

3

Referral portal links and push notification capabilities

4

Provision of customization options, empowering users to configure email-style templates for personalized communication
