Background

This project aims to enable more consumers in the UK to feel safer when online shopping, by creating virtual cards whenever they pay for things - similar to US alternatives such as Privacy.com. It is different from solutions from companies such as Revolut, as the entire system is managed via a smartphone app, and all payments are taken from linked cards. When a payment goes through, a user will also have around five seconds to approve the payment before it is automatically declined - therefore reducing fraud to near nothing.

 

Languages & Technologies

The basic framework of the project is written in Laravel, using Laravel Cashier and the official Stripe wrapper for PHP. Web design for the landing page was done using a template for landing pages, though it was highly customised.
