ZXCBank - Banking Web Application

Live Demo: Demo

About The Project

ZXCBank is a full-stack banking web application. Originally conceived and developed during a hackathon, it has since been actively maintained and expanded as a collaborative pet project by a team of two developers.

The project demonstrates a production-ready approach to building scalable financial systems, implementing a robust backend architecture, asynchronous messaging, and a modern reactive frontend.
