Fintech software partner in Turkey: start with what you can check
Fincode is a small software development company in Turkey, registered in Istanbul. It has no client references yet. So this page starts with what you can check yourself: registry facts, written scope, test reports and samples, and how to verify any Turkish company through official registers.
The company behind this site
These are the details of the company that would sign your contract. They match our company information page. Look them up instead of taking our word for them.
Search by the legal name, not the brand. Other companies abroad use the name Fincode and have no link to this one. A.Ş. is short for anonim şirket, so if the short form returns nothing, search on the distinctive words of the name.
Where to start
- Search the legal name in the Trade Registry Gazette's trade name search (opens in a new tab)
- Search registration no. 1165253 (the Ticaret Sicil No field) in the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce company search (opens in a new tab)
- Read the published notices, and use the other checks below

What you can read before you contact us
With no client work to point to, these documents are the evidence. They show how work is specified and tested. They are not a delivery record.
Written scope
Every project starts with a scope document, then a written proposal with work items, delivery dates and cost. Each stage ends with something you can read or run, and the next starts only after you approve it. See how we work.
Test reports
A test report lists each scenario and how the software behaved, including failure cases run on purpose: repeated messages, server errors, dropped connections and rate limits. Acceptance checks describe behavior, never profit. There is no client test report to show yet, so judge the format from the sample.
Samples
Sample documents for a fictional project: a scope document, a proposal, a test report and a code review report. They show the format, and contract terms appear as placeholders.
Security practices
The security page states how software from Fincode handles API keys, webhooks and logs. It lists practices and says plainly that no third-party certification is claimed.
Guides with dated sources
Technical guides cite official documents and say when they were read, so you can check them against the source. How to evaluate a crypto bot development company lists what to ask any vendor, this one included.
What you will not find
Client references, reviews or case studies of client work: Fincode has none yet. A third-party security certificate: none is claimed. Figures for staff, years in business or projects delivered. A ranking: this page names no other software company.
How to verify a Turkish company through official registers
Article 35 of the Turkish Commercial Code (opens in a new tab) lets anyone inspect a trade registry's contents and the documents kept there, and obtain certified copies for a fee. Online, start with the steps below. We read these sites on 5 November 2026: most are in Turkish, several ask for a security code, and forms change. Fincode sells software development, so this page is not neutral about hiring us, but the checks work on any vendor.
Trade name and registry number
TOBB, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, publishes the Trade Registry Gazette (opens in a new tab). Its trade name search (opens in a new tab) (Unvan Sorgulama) checks whether a name is in use. Third-party guides say results also give the registry office and number; we have not run a search past its security code, so compare what you see with the details the company gave you. For Istanbul companies, the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (İTO) company search (opens in a new tab) also takes a trade registry number or a trade name. Other cities have their own registry offices (opens in a new tab).
Published notices
Registered matters are published in the Gazette, and its site (opens in a new tab) gives access to notices since 1957. The free search needs a member login. The sign-up form offers person and company accounts and does not require a registry number; we have not tried it from abroad. Look for the founding notice and later changes to the name, address, capital and representatives.
Certificates from the company
Ask for a recent trade registry certificate (opens in a new tab) (sicil tasdiknamesi) and an activity certificate (opens in a new tab) (faaliyet belgesi), which İTO says it also issues in English, German and French. İTO's verification page (opens in a new tab) takes a document's barcode number. MERSİS (opens in a new tab), the Ministry of Trade's central registry system, has a document verification tool of its own, though we saw no open company search on its home page.
Who can sign
Under Article 373 of the Turkish Commercial Code, a joint-stock company's board files a notarized copy of its decision naming who may represent the company and how, for registration and publication. Under Article 370, two signatures are the default unless the articles say otherwise or the board has one member. Ask for the signature circular (imza sirküleri) and compare it with the published notice before you sign. Other company types have their own rules.
Tax registration
Ask for a taxpayer status letter (mükellefiyet yazısı). The Revenue Administration (GİB) verifies it online (opens in a new tab) with the tax ID, the letter's petition number and a security code. GİB's e-invoice user list (opens in a new tab) takes a tax ID and a security code, but smaller taxpayers need not be on it, so a missing entry proves little. A format check on a tax ID proves nothing about registration.
Licenses, if a company claims one
Check the regulator's own list: the Capital Markets Board (SPK) list (opens in a new tab) for crypto asset firms, the Central Bank (TCMB) list (opens in a new tab) for payment institutions and the banking regulator (BDDK) list (opens in a new tab) for banks. SPK marks its crypto list as provisional and says being on it does not mean a firm is authorized. Fincode holds no such license.
What registers cannot tell you
A valid record shows that a company exists. It says nothing about code quality, capacity or whether the work will be finished. In a joint-stock company with many shareholders it may not show the current owners either: İTO notes (opens in a new tab) that share transfers in joint-stock companies are not registered. GİB can also verify a beneficial ownership document (opens in a new tab), if the company gives you one.
This is general information, not legal advice. For a contract that matters, ask a lawyer in Turkey to pull the record for you.
What being in Turkey gives you, and what it does not
Being based in Istanbul is a fact, not a skill. These are the parts you can test against the sources.
Turkish documents, read directly
Platform terms and SPK texts are read in Turkish, at the source. That changes scope, because a platform's API documentation can be in English while the terms that limit its use are in Turkish. Two platforms we read in November 2026 publish an API, yet their terms limit automation: one restricts automated programs without prior written permission, and the other bars trading with bots or similar automated tools. How those clauses fit with the published API is not spelled out, so order-sending work waits for a written answer from the platform or stays read-only. Turkish exchange connectors names them.
The SPK list
SPK publishes its list of crypto asset firms in Turkish, marked provisional, with notes that change. As read on 5 November 2026, a footnote bars one listed platform from taking new customers. We read the list again before quoting.
Turkish exchange and data APIs
Guides written from official documents compare Turkish crypto exchange APIs and explain access to fund, disclosure and central bank data and Borsa Istanbul market data, including what needs a license. They record what was read. They are not finished connectors or client work.
Fund and market data in a real product
Fiva, Fincode's own iPhone app, is in beta and in Turkish only. It shows fund data and model-based estimates with their past accuracy, and it says which data is real-time and which is delayed. It does not place trades, so it shows data work, not order handling. See the Fiva case study.
Time zone and language
Comparing nearshore software development in Turkey? What we can state is this: Istanbul is on UTC+3, which is one to two hours ahead of Central Europe, two to three ahead of the UK and seven to eight ahead of the US East Coast, depending on the season. Work runs by email and shared documents in English. We publish no comparison of rates or talent between countries.
None of this is a license, legal advice, or a partnership with any platform or regulator.
Where a small company fits, and where it does not
Fincode is small, and that limits what it can take on. It is worth settling this before you spend time on a brief.
- One well-scoped piece of work: a connector, read-only data from Turkish platforms, a code review or a product analysis
- Subcontract work on a client project, with a written scope and a test report
- A first piece of work small enough to judge us by, before you commit to anything larger
Look elsewhere if you need
- Client references or third-party certificates such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 for your procurement
- A large staff, or round-the-clock support
- A local representative, market entry help or a license application
- Signals, copy trading, running other people's accounts or profit sharing, in any form
- Legal, tax or licensing advice: your own specialists have to give that
What to settle in writing with any vendor
This page does not state reply times, NDA terms, code ownership, payment terms or bug-fix windows. What you need on these belongs in the contract, so raise it in your brief.
Code and rights
Article 52 of Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works (opens in a new tab), Turkey's copyright law, requires contracts on economic rights to be in writing, with each right listed separately. Ask your counsel to read the clause, whoever the vendor is.
Personal data
As read on 5 November 2026, Turkey is not on the European Commission's adequacy list (opens in a new tab), so if your company is subject to the GDPR and personal data would reach a vendor in Turkey, the GDPR's transfer rules apply. Turkey's own data protection law, Law No. 6698, Article 9 (opens in a new tab), covers transfers out of Turkey. If the work does not need personal data, keep it out of development and testing.
Regulated work
If your company or your client is a regulated firm, outsourcing rules can apply on your side. Say so in your brief, so it can be checked before a quote. If your product would place orders for other people, settle licensing with your lawyer first.
Currency and tax
Contract currency, invoicing and tax on cross-border payments depend on both countries. This page states no invoice, VAT or withholding treatment, so ask your accountant before you sign.
Questions from foreign companies
Is Fincode a fintech software development company in Turkey?
Yes, a small one. Fincode Yazılım ve Teknoloji A.Ş. is a software company in Istanbul, registered under no. 1165253. It offers exchange connectors, rule-based trading software and code review, and it develops its own app, Fiva. It is not a bank, a broker or a crypto asset service provider.
Does Fincode have client references?
No, not yet. Its one real product is Fiva, an iPhone app in beta that shows fund data and estimates and does not place trades. Apart from Fiva, the pages under Projects are example scenarios. So check the registry, read the samples and consider starting with a small piece of work.
We want to outsource software development to Turkey. Can Fincode take our whole product?
It depends on the scope. Fincode is small, so narrow, well-scoped work fits better than a large build. Send a brief and we will say in writing whether it fits. You see the work items, dates and cost in a written proposal before development starts, and fees depend on scope and effort, not on trading volume or results.
Can you add Turkish exchanges to our product?
We can work with platforms on SPK's list that offer an API, once their API terms are checked for your use. Being listed does not mean a platform is authorized. Article 99/A of Capital Markets Law No. 6362 treats activity by foreign crypto-asset platforms directed at Turkish residents as unauthorized. Whether your product may serve people in Turkey is a question for your lawyer. For platforms elsewhere, which ones can be used depends on the law of your country and the platform's terms.
Does Fincode hold a license from a Turkish regulator?
No. Fincode holds no license from SPK, the Central Bank or the banking regulator. It is a software company and does not provide investment advice, portfolio management or crypto asset services, and it does not hold client money. If your product needs a license, that stays with you.
Can Fincode act as our representative or help us enter the Turkish market?
No. Fincode writes software. It does not act as a representative, apply for licenses or provide market entry services, and it gives no legal or tax advice. Those stay with you and your advisers.
Do we need to speak Turkish?
No. Work runs by email and shared documents in English. Fincode reads the Turkish documents and terms directly.
Who owns the code, and what are the NDA and payment terms?
This page does not state them. Our terms of use say that rights in software built for a project are set by the contract with the client. Raise anything that matters to you on code, confidentiality or payment in your brief, and what we agree goes in writing. The sample proposal shows contract terms as placeholders.
Do you rank software companies in Turkey?
No. This page names no other software company and ranks no one. Use the checks above on every vendor you consider, including this one.
Where to go from here
Checked what you need?
Send a short brief with your product, the platform you need, your country, your users' country and your timeline. If your company or your client holds a license, say so. Do not include API keys or private rules in your message. Fincode is a software company and does not provide investment advice, portfolio management or crypto asset services. Trades can lose money.
