The Challenge

What stood in the way

The existing mobile offering was hardware-limited and fragmented across different services. Virgin Money needed a solution that consolidated personal, savings, and credit accounts into one seamless interface while adhering to strict Open Banking regulations and high-security standards.

Our Solution

How we made it happen

Workholo implemented a React Native architecture for rapid cross-platform deployment without compromising on native performance. Our teams focused on micro-frontend integration, biometrics (FaceID/TouchID), and real-time transaction processing using a robust AWS-backed infrastructure.
