Erste Market Go

Real-time stock trading, portfolio and orders for tens of thousands of active users, since 2023

A man in a dark blue suit looks at his phone in front of a glass-walled office building; beside him, a phone screen shows the Erste Market Go app with an Erste Bank AG price chart and Sell and Buy buttons.

Background of the cooperation

Clients of Erste Investment Zrt. trade exchange-traded products, follow their portfolios and place orders at real-time prices through a mobile app. Since 2023, BlackBelt has provided a dedicated frontend development team for the Erste Market Go mobile app – using the same React Native technology with which it develops and operates other large-scale B2C applications.

The challenge

The app has to meet high security and stability requirements, display real-time stock exchange data, and deliver all this on a clean, easy-to-use interface to tens of thousands of active users. The requirements keep changing and growing – in a strict financial regulatory environment, integrated with several external backend systems.

The solution

BlackBelt’s dedicated React Native frontend team develops the app in close cooperation with Erste Investment’s internal team and the external backend system vendors. The team provides project management, business analysis, frontend development and testing alike. The main features of the app: – real-time account value and cash balance – market overview (currencies, indices) – customisable watchlist and product search – price chart over several time ranges – buy/sell with limit and market order types – portfolio view per account (NYESZ-R, TBSZ, Normal), free cash per currency, historical portfolio value

Results

– Serving tens of thousands of active users in a stable, highly available environment – Continuous development cycles: following business needs quickly and safely – Successful integration with several external backend systems, in compliance with strict financial regulations – As a result of the cooperation, BlackBelt has become a strategic development partner of Erste Investment
