Who buys a SaaS MVP development in Lithuania
EMI & payments
EMI & payments customers in Lithuania value high approval rates, local payment methods, payouts and automated reconciliation. The ux prototype module is usually their first priority, and they judge success on authorisation rate and cost per transaction.
Fintech
Fintech customers in Lithuania value secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting. The multi-tenant core module is usually their first priority, and they judge success on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
Crypto
Crypto customers in Lithuania value licence-ready custody, transaction monitoring, wallet security and clear user disclosures. The billing module is usually their first priority, and they judge success on deposit-to-trade conversion and withdrawal processing time.
Example: SaaS MVP development for a crypto business in Kaunas
Consider a crypto company in Kaunas (engineering and it companies). A typical SaaS MVP development engagement would start with ux prototype, then multi-tenant core, and finish the first release with billing — usually within 8–12 weeks.
Payments would run through SEPA Instant, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on deposit-to-trade conversion, withdrawal processing time and share of assets in cold custody.
Example: SaaS MVP development for a crypto business in Vilnius
Consider a crypto company in Vilnius (emis, fintechs and shared-services centres). A typical SaaS MVP development engagement would start with analytics, then launch & iterate, and finish the first release with discovery sprint — usually within 8–12 weeks.
Payments would run through CENTROlink, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on deposit-to-trade conversion, withdrawal processing time and share of assets in cold custody.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a SaaS MVP development
Before launch in Lithuania, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Lithuania customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Lithuania.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a SaaS MVP development in Lithuania
For clients in Lithuania we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
