In today’s fast-paced financial landscape, where speed to market and intuitive user experience determine success, one founder is reimagining how fintech products are built from the ground up, starting with design.

David Amuquandoh, the founder and CEO of Lyte Digital Inc., is pioneering a new standard in the industry: design-led fintech development that democratizes innovation and accelerates global access to modern financial tools.

Through Lyte Digital, David has introduced a platform that empowers developers and business teams to transform visual designs like Figma prototypes into fully functional, production-ready fintech applications.

No longer is there a need to build financial products from scratch, spend months stitching APIs together, or navigate complex compliance configurations. With Lyte, if you can design it, you can launch it. "We're flipping the development process on its head," says Amuquandoh.

"Design isn't the last mile anymore. It's the starting point. Lyte enables you to go from design to deployment in days, not months."

Lyte Studio At the heart of this innovation is Lyte Studio, the platform’s visual builder and low-code engine. Lyte Studio allows product teams to import Figma files, assign behaviors to UI components, and connect them with pre-integrated APIs like KYC/AML, payments, wallets, and fraud detection systems. The result is a seamless flow from creative concept to live application automated, secure, and scalable.

This new workflow slashes development time by up to 80 percent, giving startups and enterprises alike the ability to move at the speed of innovation. Multi-Channel, Borderless Banking Lyte also empowers teams to build across every major user touchpoint.

The platform supports omnichannel deployments like social banking via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram; native mobile and web apps; USSD for non-smartphone users; and even voice banking through Google Home and Amazon Alexa. "We’re not just building for one kind of user. We’re building for all of them," Amuquandoh explains.

"Whether you're chatting with a bot or speaking to a smart assistant, Lyte makes financial services ambient, accessible, and context-aware." Enterprise Adoption Underway Lyte Digital’s design-first approach has already attracted enterprise customers across the United States and Sub-Saharan Africa.

These clients are now in active implementation phases, launching solutions that span digital banking, cross-border payments, savings and more. A Global Vision Born from Experience Before founding Lyte, Amuquandoh built a career at the intersection of engineering and finance, leading teams that delivered regulatory-compliant fintech systems under tight timelines. His experience spans multiple continents including Africa, Europe, and North America and informs Lyte’s global architecture and scalable infrastructure. "Having built financial systems across Africa, Europe and in the United States, I saw the same pattern everywhere," Amuquandoh says.

"Brilliant ideas were getting stuck in development pipelines or compliance roadblocks. Lyte is our answer to that. A new blueprint for speed, scalability, and inclusion." Built for the Future Whether it’s launching a neobank in Nigeria, deploying a remittance app in California, or enabling voice-driven savings accounts in Europe, Lyte’s modular architecture supports real-world use cases across markets and regulatory environments. Lyte is not just another dev tool, it’s a movement.

Amuquandoh calls it the "WordPress for fintech," a no-code and low-code platform that gives designers, entrepreneurs, and financial institutions the power to rapidly build and scale f inancial services without needing large engineering teams.

Looking Ahead With enterprise clients on board and a roadmap focused on partnerships and deeper API integrations, Lyte is poised to become the infrastructure layer of the next generation of fintech products.

"Our mission is to reduce the friction between vision and execution," Amuquandoh says.

"Lyte Studio is where creativity meets compliance. Where design becomes deployment. And where anyone with a good idea can launch a bank-grade solution across channels and borders." In a world where financial services are increasingly digital, social, and voice-enabled, Lyte Digital is charting the path forward. And at the helm, David Amuquandoh is leading that transformation, one design at a time.
