New York marketplaces that pass a DFS licensee's vendor review on the first try.

Codeeo takes on financial product marketplace website development in New York for comparison platforms, insurance brokers, small business funding marketplaces and fintech firms placing several regulated providers on one site. We build the consumer and business side where people compare and apply, the partner portal where banks, carriers and funders manage offers, and the admin that tracks referrals, commission and complaints. Many of your partners will be supervised by the New York State Department of Financial Services, and they will expect your platform to meet their cybersecurity standards before they sign.

We work with New York clients remotely. Discovery, reviews and testing run by video call, recorded for counsel and partners who cannot attend. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.

What we build in New York

Marketplace features for the most closely supervised financial city in the country.

New York has more banks, insurers, asset managers and fintech companies than any other US city, from the Financial District and Midtown to Hudson Yards, Flatiron and downtown Brooklyn. That makes partners easy to find and hard to impress. A bank or carrier regulated by DFS must manage the risk of every third party service provider that touches its customers' data, so a marketplace is examined closely before any integration goes live.

Financial services marketplace platform development in New York also has to serve a city of many languages and very different customers: freelancers in Queens with irregular income, small landlords in the Bronx, restaurant owners in Manhattan and new arrivals building credit from nothing. These are the features New York operators ask for most.

We help you choose a first release that serves one audience thoroughly, then add products and partners through the portal as the platform proves itself.

Explain your project
  • Security evidence for partner reviews

    DFS cybersecurity rules in Part 500 require covered entities to oversee their third party service providers. We build multi factor access, encryption, logging, access reviews and an incident plan into the marketplace, and prepare the documentation partners request in their vendor questionnaires.

    Partner security reviews finish in weeks rather than stalling for months.

  • Commercial financing disclosures

    New York's Commercial Finance Disclosure Law requires standardized disclosures for many small business financing offers, including merchant cash advances, factoring and loans, and it can reach parties presenting specific offers for a funder. Offers carry the disclosure fields your counsel requires, shown before the business signs, with a record of what was displayed.

    Small business offers arrive with the disclosures New York requires.

  • Insurance comparison with best interest records

    Renters, auto, life and small business cover are compared on coverage as well as price. For life insurance and annuity sales, New York's Regulation 187 requires recommendations in the consumer's best interest, so the platform records suitability information and the reason for each recommendation made by your licensed producers.

    Every recommendation has a reason your producers can show.

  • Many language comparison pages

    Guides and applications can run in Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Bengali, Korean or Haitian Creole as well as English, chosen by the communities you serve. Each translation links to the approved English text and is flagged for review when compliance changes the original, and the system records which version each applicant saw.

    More New Yorkers understand the product in their own language.

  • Credit building and thin file routes

    Newcomers and young New Yorkers with little credit history are shown secured cards, credit builder loans and providers that consider rent or bank account data with consent. Soft inquiry prequalification shows likely approval without harming scores, so applicants stop collecting declines.

    People without long credit files still find a way in.

  • SHIELD Act breach readiness

    The New York SHIELD Act requires reasonable safeguards for New Yorkers' private information and sets breach notice duties. We build administrative, technical and physical controls into the platform, document them, and prepare a runbook so the right people and regulators are notified on time.

    If an incident happens, the response is already written.

  • Partner portal with approval queue

    Banks, carriers and funders update offers, eligibility rules and promotional wording themselves or through an API. Every change waits in your compliance queue before it publishes, and stale rates are flagged and hidden until refreshed.

    Listings stay accurate and every claim has been approved.

  • Commission ledger and partner statements

    Each introduction carries a reference, so fees per lead, per funded deal or per bound policy match automatically. Partners see statements in the portal, invoices go out monthly and ACH collection runs on agreed dates. Disputed items stay open with notes until both sides agree.

    Month end closes without spreadsheet arguments.

  • Paid advice and tax sessions

    Consumers book paid sessions with planners, tax preparers or credit counselors and pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or ACH. A platform payment provider verifies each professional, splits the fee and pays out, and reviews are only accepted from completed sessions.

    Professionals are paid reliably and reviews reflect real clients.

  • Accessible pages for ADA risk

    New York is one of the busiest venues for ADA website lawsuits. Comparison tables, calculators and applications are built and tested to WCAG 2.2 AA, with keyboard access, screen reader labels and readable contrast, and an accessibility statement your team keeps current.

    Fewer demand letters, and more people finish applications.

Who this is for

Four New York operators who fit a marketplace build.

New York operators considering a marketplace usually already have something partners want: an audience, a specialist product line or a strong brand in one borough or community. The platform's job is to turn that into qualified introductions that a supervised partner is willing to pay for. These four starting points come up most often with firms in Manhattan, Brooklyn and across the five boroughs.

The common thread is focus. A marketplace that tries to serve every New Yorker with every product on day one tends to serve nobody well, while one that picks a clear first audience, such as freelancers, small landlords or immigrant founders, gives partners a reason to pay and customers a reason to return.

01

A small business funding marketplace

Businesses compare term loans, lines of credit, merchant cash advances and equipment finance from several funders. We build the application, document collection and funder dashboard, apply the New York commercial financing disclosures your counsel specifies, and show total cost clearly so owners in every borough can compare fairly. Funders see complete, consented files with bank data attached, and each response lands on one dashboard the owner can follow.

Disclosure content is set by your counsel, not by us.

02

A brokerage moving quotes online

An insurance brokerage licensed by DFS wants New Yorkers to compare renters, auto and small business cover online and talk to a producer only when needed. We connect carrier rating where it exists, record suitability details for life and annuity products, and keep every recommendation on file.

03

A comparison platform signing bank partners

A comparison site that wants direct integrations with New York banks must pass their vendor risk reviews. We rebuild the platform with the security controls, logging and documentation those reviews look for, keep your existing content and URLs, and add prequalification and a partner portal.

Existing URLs and rankings carry over to the new platform.

04

A fintech adding partner products

A New York fintech with an engaged user base may add partner cards, savings accounts or insurance. We design the partner shelf with clear labeling of paid placements, neutral ranking rules and a ledger your auditors can trace from referral to payment, so the relationship is transparent to users and regulators. Users choose whether to see partner offers at all, and can turn them off from their account settings.

Six steps to a New York marketplace partners will connect to.

  1. 01Discovery and partner requirementsProducts, licenses, partner vendor questionnaires, disclosure rules and commission models, gathered by video call and written into one approved scope.
  2. 02Financial product marketplace website design in New YorkComparison, prequalification and application screens tested with New Yorkers by video, in the languages you will serve, before visual design is finished.
  3. 03Security controls and documentationMulti factor access, encryption, logging, access reviews and an incident plan built in, with the written evidence partners ask for.
  4. 04Partner portal and integrationsBank, carrier and funder feeds or APIs, an approval queue for your compliance team and alerts for stale rates or expiring licenses.
  5. 05Payments, ledger and testingCommission ledger, ACH invoicing, paid session payouts, penetration testing, WCAG 2.2 AA testing and your counsel's sign off on disclosures.
  6. 06Launch and partner onboardingGo live with the first partners, review applications, approvals and complaints by product, then onboard further partners through the portal.

Questions New York operators ask us.

Partner security reviews and integrations usually set the pace more than design does.

A New York marketplace that launches one product line with partners on file feeds can open sooner than one that needs live bank APIs, commercial financing disclosures and several languages. Partner vendor reviews run alongside the build, so we prepare security evidence early. We agree the first release in discovery, write milestones down, and treat additional products, partners and languages as later phases.
