## How each company describes itself

### Alty

Alty’s site calls it a “Fintech & Banking Product Design Agency — 4x Red Dot Winner.” Founded in 2009, it carries product direction through strategy, design, and engineering, with one senior lead per engagement, and it works under ISO 27001.

The about page counts 50+ designers, engineers, and strategists across Ukraine and Portugal, with offices listed in the US, Portugal, and the UK. LinkedIn lists 51–200 employees. Clients shown include monobank, PrivatBank, Raiffeisen Bank, and Oschadbank.

### Humbleteam

Fintech teams hire us for pace. With ING Amsterdam, a B2B banking MVP went from nothing to user-tested in 5 days, and a small-business banking prototype reached its user test on day 23.

The count behind it: 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, with 5 YC-backed fintechs keeping our designers inside their in-house team. We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, designing since 2017, with 80+ design awards and work in healthtech, sport, and AI products as well.

## Three reasons fintech teams pick us over Alty

Both companies know banking; these are the differences a buyer can verify.

### Banking prototypes tested within weeks

Our ING B2B banking MVP went from zero to tested in 5 days, and the ING small-business banking prototype took 23 days from brief to user test. On average a signed brief becomes a clickable prototype in 2 weeks. We reply within 24 hours, a project can start next week, and AI skills make us 20–40% faster.

### 56 fintechs, 30+ banks, more fields

We have designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, across onboarding, KYC, cards, limits, and disputes. The same team has studied 30+ healthtech platforms, reruns a 27-app sports benchmark every four weeks, and installs AI agents inside client design teams, so patterns from other regulated products reach your bank.

### 80+ awards and 70% return clients

Juries have given our work 80+ design awards, 14 of them from Awwwards, plus Red Dot and Webby. On Clutch we hold 4.9 from 35 client reviews, and 70% of clients book us again for a second project. Senior designers average 9 years of experience, and the people on your first call do the design work.

## When Alty is the better call

Two situations where Alty’s setup fits better.

### Design and engineering from one vendor

Alty carries a product from strategy through design to a working build, and lists ISO 27001, ISO 22301, SOC 2, and DORA among its compliant processes. A bank that wants the code from the same certified vendor gets that here.

### A long partnership in their markets

Their site shows 14 years with PrivatBank, the first version of monobank, and banks in Nigeria, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan. A bank in those markets may value that local track record.

## Fintech numbers we stand behind

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Alty?

Yes. We have designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, won 80+ design awards, and hold a 4.9 Clutch rating across 35 reviews. Alty is a fintech and banking product partner founded in 2009, with 50+ designers, engineers, and strategists across Ukraine and Portugal and clients such as monobank and PrivatBank. Choose us when speed to a tested prototype and design depth matter most.

### Humbleteam or Alty: who delivers faster?

We publish our timelines, and Alty’s site does not publish theirs. We took an ING banking MVP from zero to a tested product in 5 days and designed and user-tested an ING small-business banking prototype in 23 days. A first clickable prototype arrives 2 weeks after a signed brief on average, and we can start the week after your first call.

### Which is better for a new fintech product?

We are, when the product needs to reach users quickly. 5 YC-backed fintechs keep our designers inside their in-house team, and we designed Afternoon, a platform for an AI-first finance operating model. We also bring patterns from 30+ healthtech platforms and AI products into regulated flows. Alty’s site describes its strongest fit as products that have outgrown their original structure.

### How big is each team, and who does the work?

The two teams are close in size: Alty’s site counts 50+ designers, engineers, and strategists, and we are 49. Alty puts one senior lead on each engagement across a team in Ukraine and Portugal, and LinkedIn lists 51–200 employees. Our designers in Prague and Dubai average 9 years of experience, and the ones on your first call design the product.

### How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?

Alty and Humbleteam both keep prices off their sites; our estimate comes on the first call, and a project can start next week. The formats are a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, and a monthly retainer, with a reply to every enquiry inside 24 hours. Alty offers a free 5-minute online diagnostic and a contact form, without pricing or start times.
