Consider a shared services company in Lublin (it services and universities). A typical cross-border remittance & money transfer software engagement would start with sender apps, then payout network, and finish the first release with agent portal — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Przelewy24, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on release frequency, customer churn and time to onboard a customer.
