- Led the interface and a shared component set for payments and transaction reporting.
Archie was a UK open banking platform. The idea is simple enough: businesses can take payment without putting everything on Visa, using things like pay-by-link and QR codes, and they can pull transaction data for reports. This should be a vastly cheaper option to the more traditional payment routes which would enable businesses to save considerable amounts on taking payments.
I led the interface development. Partners were meant to set journeys up against their own branding, so the product was built with white listing in mind. I also built a shared component set on Material UI so the payments side and the reporting side looked like they belonged to the same thing.
