The software used by banks, trading firms, and other financial services has special requirements at every level, from securing the UI to making sure backend services comply with a host of regulations.

In Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch) you’ll build working software for processing Automated Clearing House (ACH) files, a cornerstone technology of banking that moves trillions of dollars every year. You’ll work with generative AI technology throughout the full stack application, including researching the tech for your application, spinning up a bare bone starting project, answering domain questions, clarifying functionality, and troubleshooting. Along the way, you’ll learn what sets FinTech projects apart from normal web apps.
