Tech Start-Up Stitch Aims To Make It Easier For Entrepreneurs And Developers To Build Businesses. Stitch is on a mission to make Africa a world-leader in fintech. The Stitch team holds deep experience building fintech and developer-facing products in Africa. It started building the Stitch API to make it easier for African fintech developers to create new, improved, more ambitious products.
The Stitch API is a consistent, natural model of the fintech domain. It extended the foundations of GraphQL with a rich query language to deliver a powerful API that eliminates friction and complexity. Security and user privacy has been its priority since day one. Stitch is guided by the design principles of zero trust, defence in depth, harm reduction and declarative configuration. It aims to protect clients and users through the deployment of cutting edge standards and technologies including OpenID Connect Financial-grade API, HSTS, DNSSEC, RSA-OAEP 2048, DNSSEC, TLS 1.2 and 1.3, Mutual TLS and OAuth 2.0, amongst others. Stitch doesn’t retain the banking data retrieved from the users. Its unique in-memory architecture allows it to achieve this without compromising its industry leading performance.
Stitch values sustainable processes, kindness, and work-life balance. The company’s team values diversity in all its forms, whether it is through race, sex, gender or lived experience. It cares deeply about developer experience, and it aims to provide tools and systems that software engineers rave about. Thus the company places serious emphasis on security and cut no corners. Stitch is a start-up tech company whose mission is to make it easier for developers and entrepreneurs to build businesses in Africa. Its product suite allows anyone to integrate API access to users’ financial accounts into their apps, as well as make payments between bank accounts. It is expanding the team to enable Stitch to broaden its product offering and extend its geographical footprint.
The company values diversity in all its forms and believes that a broad range of lived experiences makes its team and product stronger. This is especially important to it as its leadership team includes diverse racial backgrounds and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
