Learn how Raiffeisenbank International and Creative Dock launched Fairo, a mobile banking app tailored to streamline financial management for freelancers in Europe.
The client
Raiffeisenbank International
Raiffeisenbank International (RBI) is a leading banking group in Central and Eastern Europe. In collaboration with Creative Dock, RBI launched Fairo, a mobile app that simplifies financial tasks for freelancers and small business owners, helping them manage invoicing, taxes, and accounting with ease.
The Challenge
Meeting the Financial Needs of European Freelancers
Addressing Financial Complexity
Freelancers often struggle with the administrative side of their work, including invoicing, tracking expenses, and managing taxes. RBI needed a solution to simplify these processes for freelancers
Navigating the Ukrainian Market
Ukraine, chosen as the initial market due to its growing freelance sector, presented unique challenges, such as frequent changes in tax payment details and limited open banking integration.
Adapting to External Challenges
The war in Ukraine and resulting geopolitical instability led to RBI temporarily suspending the banking functions of Fairo, requiring a pivot to strengthen the app’s non-banking capabilities.
