Precious Metals Trading Platform
Project overview
Precious Metals Trading Platform is a custom system for exchanging and trading precious metals, coins, and crypto-tokens based on the mobile OS. The users can make orders online. Once the order is received by admins, the user gets a confirmation email with all the necessary information. Then it is necessary to transfer money to the bank account of the company specified in the agreement. After the payment is received, noble metals are purchased for the user and are assigned with a unique identification number for further shipment to the storage. They will be stored in insured safes of high reliability.
By the time of release, the application contained eight-step user registration and a menu containing the following sections:
- settings
- information about the user and his activity
- balance of funds
- user goals
In addition, the user status within the application can be upgraded in order to expand the capabilities of a basic account provided at registration. We also added functions such as using biometric user data, password recovery, referral system with reading/generating QR codes.
