App Developer Edinburgh: Erbo Named Scotland’s Leading App Developers as Demand Surges

Published

on

Erbo, an Edinburgh-based digital product studio, has been recognised as Scotland’s leading app developers as demand grows for high-quality iOS and Android apps across retail, transport, financial services, education and the public sector. The company delivers end-to-end services spanning product strategy, UX/UI design, native and cross-platform development, QA, security and post-launch optimisation. Erbo’s clients include The Royal Regiment of Scotland, Edinburgh University, Harvey Nichols, Scottish Widows and Lothian Buses, with its Harvey Nichols work highlighted as a flagship premium mobile partnership. Erbo has also confirmed a £10 million investment in 2026 to scale teams, strengthen innovation and expand delivery capacity.

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom, 27th Feb 2026 Erbo, an Edinburgh-based digital product studio, has been recognised as Scotland’s leading app developers as demand rises for high-quality Apple iOS and Android applications across retail, transport, financial services, education and the public sector.

The recognition reflects growing investment in digital transformation across Scotland and the wider UK, with organisations seeking trusted partners to improve customer journeys, increase conversion, streamline operations and strengthen user engagement through mobile-first experiences.

Erbo has expanded its capability across product strategy, UX/UI design, iOS app development, Android app development, cross-platform engineering and post-launch optimisation. The studio says its focus is on building scalable, secure mobile products designed around real user needs and measurable business outcomes.

“Organisations are no longer building apps just to ‘have an app’,” an Erbo spokesperson said. “They’re building iOS and Android products that must win trust, outperform competitors and deliver real operational value. Our approach is to start with the user and the outcome, then engineer the mobile app to be robust, secure and ready to scale.”

Mobile expectations rise across Scotland

As consumers and service users increasingly rely on smartphones for shopping, travel planning, education and financial management, expectations have shifted sharply toward fast, intuitive and secure mobile experiences. At the same time, many internal teams are under pressure to modernise legacy systems, reduce operational friction and demonstrate return on investment.

In response, organisations are looking for an app developer Edinburgh teams can collaborate with closely — partners who combine technical depth with product thinking and a clear understanding of delivery, governance and outcomes. Erbo says it works as an extension of client teams, blending discovery-led strategy with craft-led design and engineering.

Trusted by leading Scottish and UK organisations

Erbo’s position is underpinned by delivery for organisations spanning multiple sectors, including:
    •    The Royal Regiment of Scotland
    •    Edinburgh University
    •    Harvey Nichols
    •    Scottish Widows
    •    Lothian Buses

The agency says this breadth reflects its ability to ship mobile products that are both user-friendly and operationally dependable, particularly where security, accessibility and compliance are essential.

Harvey Nichols partnership highlights premium mobile execution

Erbo pointed to its work supporting Harvey Nichols as a flagship relationship, demonstrating how premium brands can deliver high-end mobile experiences without compromising performance or reliability.

Luxury retail customers expect a seamless experience at every step — from discovery and browsing to purchase and post-sale service. For premium brands, mobile is not simply a channel, but an extension of the brand itself.

Erbo’s work has focused on intuitive user journeys, strong performance during peak traffic, interfaces aligned to brand guidelines, and continuous improvement based on behavioural data and customer feedback.

“Working with a brand like Harvey Nichols is the ultimate test of detail,” the spokesperson added. “Every interaction matters. The goal is to build an iOS and Android app experience that not only performs, but feels premium — where the design, content and user flow reflect the brand’s standards.”

End-to-end delivery model under one roof

Erbo attributes its growth to an integrated approach that treats app development as product development — with clear goals, defined success measures and a roadmap for improvement.

Typical engagements include:

Discovery and product strategy
Defining the problem, mapping user journeys, validating assumptions and identifying where mobile investment can deliver the strongest returns.

UX/UI design
Creating intuitive, accessible interfaces that reflect brand identity while making journeys quick and effortless for end users.

iOS and Android development
Delivering high-performance apps designed for long-term maintainability, using native development and modern cross-platform approaches where appropriate.

Security, performance and quality assurance
Embedding testing and best practice throughout the lifecycle to reduce risk and maintain stability on iOS and Android.

Post-launch optimisation
Using analytics, feedback and continuous improvements to evolve products based on real-world usage.

The studio says this end-to-end capability is increasingly important as organisations seek faster delivery without sacrificing quality — particularly in sectors with higher expectations around governance and reliability.

Supporting services used every day

Erbo’s work also spans areas with direct impact on everyday life in Scotland. Client relationships such as Lothian Buses demonstrate the role mobile products play in improving commuter and visitor experiences through clearer information, better journey planning and smoother on-the-move access.

Similarly, its work with institutions such as Edinburgh University reflects demand for mobile-first solutions that support students and staff — from communications and service access to experiences designed around how people study and live today.

Delivery in regulated environments

In financial services and other regulated industries, mobile products must balance ease of use with stringent requirements for security, stability, privacy and data integrity. Erbo says its work with organisations such as Scottish Widows reflects its ability to deliver in complex environments where trust and reliability are non-negotiable.

For many organisations, choosing an app developer Edinburgh teams can depend on means selecting a partner with strong engineering governance and delivery processes designed to reduce risk across iOS and Android.

£10 million investment confirmed for 2026

Erbo has also confirmed a new £10 million funding investment in 2026, aimed at accelerating innovation and supporting long-term growth.

The company said the investment will be used to:
    •    Expand teams across product, design, iOS and Android engineering, and quality assurance
    •    Enhance research and innovation, including modern tooling and delivery acceleration
    •    Increase capacity to support more enterprise and high-growth clients
    •    Strengthen quality and security standards for mission-critical mobile apps
    •    Deepen long-term partnerships with brands seeking continuous product improvement

The investment comes as demand grows for mobile app development partners able to deliver reliable results at pace, while maintaining high standards of craft, performance and security.

Building products beyond launch

Erbo emphasised that launching an app is only the first milestone. The most successful iOS and Android products evolve continuously, adapting to changing customer expectations and learning from real-world usage.

The agency said it supports clients with iterative roadmaps, feature releases, performance upgrades, long-term maintenance and ongoing optimisation — helping organisations protect their investment and keep improving the experience for users and internal teams.

As competition increases across sectors, Erbo argues that mobile experience has become a strategic advantage. High-performing apps can reduce friction, increase loyalty and unlock growth — but only when built on a stable foundation and designed around the people who use them.

Outlook for 2026 and beyond

Looking ahead, Erbo expects demand for mobile-first digital transformation to remain strong through 2026 and beyond, as organisations across Scotland and the UK continue to prioritise fast, secure and user-friendly digital services.

With its expanding client portfolio, continued investment, and focus on product strategy, design and engineering under one roof, Erbo says it is positioned to play a defining role in Scotland’s mobile app development landscape — supporting organisations that want iOS and Android products that perform, scale and endure.

ChangeNOW Brings Martin Masser Into Its Crypto Super App

Published

on

Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, August 5th, 2026, Chainwire

The former TON executive joins as Director of Strategic Partnerships to form the connections behind ChangeNOW’s next phase.

Former TON executive Martin Masser joins ChangeNOW to build strategic partnerships, ecosystem relationships, and media momentum behind its next phase.

Masser comes with experience across traditional banking, Web2 and Web3, including senior growth and business development roles within the TON space. At ChangeNOW, he will lead strategic relationships with blockchain networks, wallets, fintech companies, payment providers and other infrastructure partners.

His appointment comes as ChangeNOW grows beyond standalone crypto services, transitioning to one connected product where users can buy, store, swap, trade, send, receive and grow digital assets. The industry has already built most of the individual components. What it hasn’t solved is the experience of using them together; clients are still expected to switch between platforms, understand different networks and connect the pieces on their own. ChangeNOW’s super app strategy is designed to move that complexity beneath the product.

“Martin brings a rare mix of commercial relationships, product and media understanding,” said Pauline Shangett, Chief Strategy Officer at ChangeNOW. “He knows what the technology can do, what the business needs and how to make the market pay attention. That is exactly the perspective we need as we build the ChangeNOW super app.”

Masser’s role will focus not on accumulating partnership announcements, but on identifying relationships that can make ChangeNOW’s infrastructure more complete and remove unnecessary steps from the сlient experience.

“The best partnerships create access, adoption and attention. My focus is to build relationships that make the product stronger, simpler and more useful, and then help the market understand why they matter. If you are building wallets, networks, payments, stablecoins, fintech infrastructure, consumer crypto or Web3 products, I want to hear from you,” said Masser. 

For consumers, ChangeNOW is combining the core activities of managing crypto within one environment. For businesses, it is developing an integrated set of tools for crypto payments, exchange, stablecoin settlement, digital asset management and Web3 integrations.

As ChangeNOW expands into a crypto super app, its next phase is connecting the right networks, wallets and partners. Masser’s role will be central to building those relationships and turning them into product value, adoption and market momentum.

About ChangeNOW

ChangeNOW.io is a crypto super app built for every crypto move, giving newcomers, professionals, and businesses the tools they need to access Web3 finance in a simple and secure way.

Since 2017, ChangeNOW has grown from a fast, secure, and limitless instant exchange into a trusted platform where storage, swaps, trading, staking, and asset management are covered in one simple experience for millions of clients worldwide.

About Martin Masser

Martin Masser is Director of Strategic Partnerships at ChangeNOW, where he is building partnerships around the company’s expansion into a crypto super app. His career covers traditional banking and capital markets in London and Web3, including his previous role as Head of Growth at TON Foundation. Martin works at the intersection of growth, infrastructure, and partnerships, connecting products and industry players to make crypto services work as one seamless user experience.

allwhere Expands UK Operations with Upgraded Depot

Published

on

New York City, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

allwhere, the leading IT asset lifecycle management platform, today announced the expansion of its UK operations with the opening of a larger, upgraded depot. The investment increases warehouse capacity, streamlines fulfillment operations, and strengthens allwhere’s ability to support organizations managing employee devices across the United Kingdom.

The upgraded facility represents a significant investment in allwhere’s existing UK infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver faster turnaround times, greater operational efficiency, and additional inventory capacity as demand for global device lifecycle management continues to grow.

“As more organizations build distributed teams, the operational side of IT has become increasingly important,” said Tony Solomon, VP of Global Operations at allwhere. “This investment strengthens the foundation of our UK operations, allowing us to fulfill orders more efficiently, scale alongside our customers, and continue delivering the high level of service they expect from allwhere.”

Built to Support Growing IT Operations

The expanded UK depot enhances every stage of the device lifecycle by improving warehouse operations and increasing fulfillment capacity.

Customers can expect benefits including:

  • Faster fulfillment, expedited shipping, and improved turnaround times for deployments and retrievals
  • Increased warehouse capacity to support growing inventory needs
  • More efficient storage, inventory management, and redeployment workflows
  • Standardized operational processes that improve consistency and scalability
  • End-to-end lifecycle support managed through a single platform

Whether onboarding a new employee, retrieving equipment from an offboarded team member, storing spare inventory, or preparing devices for redeployment, the upgraded facility enables allwhere to execute these workflows more efficiently while maintaining complete visibility through its platform.

Software and Operations, Unified

Unlike traditional asset management solutions that rely on disconnected software, logistics providers, and warehouses, allwhere combines workflow automation with global operational infrastructure.

Organizations can manage procurement, deployment, inventory, retrievals, storage, repairs, redeployment, and IT asset disposition through a single platform, while allwhere handles the operational execution behind the scenes.

The expanded UK depot further strengthens this model by providing the operational capacity needed to support larger fleets, faster fulfillment, and increasingly complex IT programs.

Continuing to Invest in Global Infrastructure

The UK depot expansion is part of allwhere’s continued investment in its global logistics network. allwhere currently operates full-service depots in the UK, Canada, EU, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Later this year, the company plans to further scale its infrastructure into the APAC region, with upcoming depot services in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and more.

As organizations continue to scale distributed workforces, allwhere remains focused on expanding the operational infrastructure that powers modern IT teams—combining intelligent software with local logistics expertise to simplify device lifecycle management around the world.

About allwhere

allwhere is a laptop retrieval and IT procurement company that automates the IT asset lifecycle for companies ranging from startups to enterprises. From procurement and deployment to storage, maintenance, and retrieval, allwhere provides the infrastructure businesses need to support a global, distributed workforce.

Borderless.xyz Teams Up with Mastercard to Advance Trusted Cross-Border Stablecoin Payment Flows

Published

on

New York, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

Borderless.xyz will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments.

Borderless.xyz and Mastercard are collaborating on a new pilot to explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential’s standards-based framework can support trusted interactions across cross-border stablecoin payment flows. 

Stablecoins are increasingly being used to move value across borders, creating new opportunities for faster and more efficient payments. As adoption grows, participants need trusted ways to understand who they are interacting with and whether counterparties have met appropriate standards and requirements. 

Through the pilot, Borderless.xyz and Mastercard will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can address that challenge by providing assurance signals that participants can incorporate into their own approval, compliance and risk processes. 

Mastercard Crypto Credential helps support trusted and verifiable interactions across digital asset ecosystems. Through common standards and trusted assurance signals, it is designed to help bring more confidence, transparency and certainty to transactions across blockchain networks. 

The collaboration pairs Mastercard’s work in building trust and standards for digital asset ecosystems with Borderless.xyz’s network of stablecoin payment providers. Together, the companies are exploring how trusted governance signals can help reduce friction and bring greater confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments as adoption grows. 

“One of the biggest friction points for stablecoin payment operators isn’t the payments. It’s that compliance doesn’t scale the same way the network does. Every new provider means starting the verification process over. Correspondent banking solved this decades ago: originating compliance trusted downstream, no re-execution at every counterparty. Mastercard is applying that model to digital asset payments. Borderless.xyz is the network it runs through.” – Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO and Co-Founder, Borderless.xyz

“Innovation is most powerful when it builds over time. Our relationship with Borderless.xyz began through Start Path and has continued to grow as the digital asset ecosystem has matured,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “Today, we’re excited to take the next step together, exploring how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to stablecoin payment flows across a growing network of participants.” 

The pilot brings together several of Borderless.xyz‘s network participants consisting of Infinia, Walapay, and Koywe, many of whom are also alumni of Mastercard Start Path, the company’s startup engagement program. These partners will leverage Mastercard Crypto Credential as some of the first stablecoin payment operators to run on the single-audit compliance model at network scale. 

About Borderless.xyz

Borderless.xyz is a global stablecoin orchestration and liquidity network. Its single API connects wallet infrastructure to 15+ licensed stablecoin providers across 100+ countries. It lets businesses enter new markets without new integrations, get failover so payments don’t drop, and make providers compete for your volume on price. Borderless.xyz is SOC 2 Type II certified and headquartered in New York. To learn more, users can visit the website: borderless.xyz.
