React and Django Fullstack Fintech Banking App

What you'll learn
Spin up React + Django with JWT auth, protected routes, and token refresh end-to-end.
Build KYC: models, serializers, file uploads, and a React flow to capture/review data.
Model money: wallets, transactions, savings, and write stable DRF serializers.
Integrate Stripe; fund wallets; handle deposits, withdrawals, transfers, beneficiaries.
Create dashboards that consume APIs for balances, activity, and transaction details.
Create savings goals and in-app notifications with fast React UIs.
Requirements
No much programming background needed
No fintech background needed, we will explain flows.
GitHub, Railway and Netlify account needed for deployments
Stripe test account + API keys (Don't worry I will still show you how to get keys)
Description
Tired of "hello world" tutorials? We're building a real fintech app, end-to-end, with Django (DRF) and React. By the time you're done, you'll have a working banking-style project with JWT auth, KYC, Stripe funding, wallets, transfers, savings goals, transactions, dashboards, and notifications. Not theory. Shippable code.We start fast: spin up React + Django, wire JWT with refresh tokens, lock down protected routes, and ship clean login/register flows. Then we get practical with compliance-style KYC: models, serializers, file uploads, and a React workflow to submit and review data.Next, the money layer: wallets, transactions, funding, deposits, withdrawals, modeled cleanly in DRF with serializers you won't be embarrassed to maintain. We integrate Stripe in test mode, handle web-ish edge cases, and surface clear errors and toasts on the frontend. Transfers and beneficiaries? You'll build the APIs and the React UX: searchable lists, quick actions, optimistic updates, and loading states that don't feel janky.You'll create savings goals with real progress, plus a dashboard that actually tells a story: balances, recent activity, and transaction drill-downs. We also add in-app notifications so users know what just happened and why.Throughout, we keep the stack modern and sane: environment variables, API clients, modular React components, and readable DRF views/serializers. You'll test endpoints with Postman and wire everything into React without spaghetti.If you want a portfolio project that looks like a product (not a tutorial), this is it. You'll leave with a repo you can demo, extend, or take to production with minimal rework.
