Building fintech
teams in 2025:
The reality check

Let's be honest - keeping pace with fintech innovation while trying to find (and keep) brilliant tech talent locally is becoming a bit of a nightmare:

✔️ Your local talent pool's rather stretched

✔️ Top engineers' salary expectations are through the roof

✔️ Competition for specialists in areas like blockchain, AI, data, and security grows fiercer by the day

✔️ Those legacy systems aren't getting any younger

✔️ Regulators keep moving the goalposts

✔️ Cyber threats are getting cleverer by the day

That's where we come in.

We've spent years building relationships across Central and Eastern Europe's most vibrant tech hubs, giving us access to a deep pool of senior engineers with proven fintech expertise.

From payments and digital banking to wealth management and regtech, we understand the unique technical challenges of modern fintech and know how to find the right people to tackle them.

No smoke & mirrors

We believe in keeping things straightforward. Our pricing model is simple:

A transparent monthly fee based on gross salary covers everything - from workspaces and equipment to HR support and team events.
No hidden costs, no volume commitments, and no lock-in periods.
Scale your team up or down as needed, with no penalties.

👋 I'm Tom Stewart, Account Executive Lead here at Pwrteams. Happy to guide you through the process and provide a tailored cost estimate.

How we work our magic

Finding your perfect match

Think of us as your nearshore team builder - over the years we've got quite the little black book of senior talent in the CEE who really know their fintech onions.

We don't just look for clever coders though. Each candidate needs to be the right cultural fit and a clear communicator.

Zero-bench policy by default

No engineers sitting around on standby either - we handpick each person specifically for you, like a bespoke suit.

Your team will be ready to roll in 4-8 weeks.

Keeping your team happy

Getting the right people on board is just the beginning - keeping them chuffed and growing is what really matters. Your dedicated Client Partner and People Partner make sure everything ticks along nicely.

Regular catch-ups and team events help build the sort of community spirit you can't buy. It's this attention to both professional growth and personal happiness that keeps our teams sticking around longer than a British summer is wet.

Fitting right in

When we say your team, we mean exactly that - they're proper members of your crew. We mold ourselves around your ways of working, your tools, and your processes. All those fiddly admin bits? Consider them sorted, from HR to hardware.

Need to grow your team (or trim it down a bit)? Easy peasy. We're more flexible than a gymnast - scale up or down without getting tangled in red tape.

Building your fintech dream team
