FinDev is a regional software development and support company based in Gaborone Botswana. Botswana was chosen as the company's operational hub, targeting the blooming financial services industry within the African subcontinent. Botswana is ideally suited as a development hub due to its accessibility to the region, democratic political environment, stable economy, favourable exchange control and advancing telecommunications infrastructure.

FinDev's core competencies lie within the development of "package", end-to-end software solutions for organisations in the financial services sector. FinDev has provided large-scale software solutions to many banks, discount houses, micro finance companies and stock brokers since its inception in 2005 and continues to provide world-class contractual and on-demand support services to these companies on a day-to-day basis.

The skills base at FinDev spans over 35 years of combined working experience in developing software specifically for the financial services sector. Our dedicated team has an intimate knowledge and understanding of the business critical work-flows, compliancy issues, accounting, risk management and product compositions, so unique to this industry. Our experience in the sector ensures that all our applications include strong security mechanisms, risk management, compliancy checks and database security measures.

FinDev's flagship product, ActiveBroker(c), is an end-to-end business solution for stock brokers and is able to operate in many diverse financial environments across Africa. ActiveBroker Enterprise Edition(c) caters for stock exchanges environments using the legacy "Open Outcry" environment to fully electronic Automated Trading Systems (ATS) and Central Securities Depositories (CDS) systems.
