SmartDev was founded in 2014 by a team of Swiss entrepreneurs. SmartDev’s initial goal was to focus on fintech services, developing custom solutions for companies in the industry. In 2016, SmartDev landed a contract with a major credit card issuer in Switzerland that kicked the company into high gear. The following year, in 2017, SmartDev began a contract with a start-up company owned by AirAsia.

In 2020, the company changed hands to where it is now — a component of Verysell Group, which is also a Swiss company. This has led to significant growth of the company’s offshore development business and the release of new apps in fintech and many other sectors. As of 2022, SmartDev is ISO/IEC 27001 certified, marking a major security milestone. 

In 2022 and looking to the future, SmartDev is big enough to matter but small enough to care.
