The Opportunity

Problem

EU GDPR and open banking regulations make solo fintech builds 10x harder and costlier than standard SaaS development.

Solution

FinConsent provides a customizable, embeddable consent banner and management system that handles GDPR cookie consents, data processing agreements, and audit logs automatically. Solo devs can integrate it via a single script tag, ensuring compliance without building from scratch. It generates shareable compliance reports for regulators.

Target Audience

Solo indie hackers and bootstrapped developers building fintech apps for EU customers

Differentiator

Fintech-specific templates for payment data, KYC, and open banking consents, pre-audited for PSD2 alignment
