About DARA

About Dara

Dara develops core banking software and is one of the three companies in the Dara Group. Our job is to build a system whose numbers the finance department can rely on.

Who We Are

Who we are and what we build

Dara is a software company that builds infrastructure for banking and for Qard al-Hasan (interest-free loan) funds. Our software engineers and product specialists work side by side on the problems that come up in the daily work of branches, credit departments and finance teams.

What we build

The Dara platform consists of deposit, financing, credit card, wallet and treasury modules, together with the modules that support them. All of them run on a single Financial Core: none keeps its own balance, and every financial effect is posted to that core as a voucher. Processes, from a loan application through to committee approval, run on an engine that stores each process graph as versioned data.

Islamic contracts, the Solar Hijri calendar and Central Bank of Iran regulations have been part of the product design from the start. Each of the fifteen Islamic contracts has its own calculator, and installment schedules are built around a fixed day of the Solar Hijri month.

How we work

Every Dara service follows the same pattern: the layered structure, the response format and the way vouchers are posted are identical across all of them. That uniformity lets us add new modules with confidence, and it makes the code easier for the team to maintain.

On every project, we do not go live until the migrated balances and cases have been reconciled against the legacy system. We are just as direct about where the product stands, and if a capability is not ready yet, we say so.

Principles

The way we work

  1. 01

    Financial rules first, then code

    Before we write any module, we review the accounting and banking rules that govern it and design the voucher for each operation in advance.

  2. 02

    One pattern for every service

    The layered structure, the response contract and the voucher-posting method are the same in every service, so any engineer can read and maintain any module.

  3. 03

    Code review and documentation

    Changes are reviewed before they are merged, and every module has its own technical documentation.

  4. 04

    Candor about product status

    In introductory sessions and proposals, we separate what is ready from what is still on the roadmap.

  5. 05

    Reconciliation before go-live

    No project goes live before its migrated balances and cases are reconciled against the legacy system.
