Netcheques

Netcheques is a mobile financial app built during HackTU Hackathon that enables offline transactions using QR codes and PIN authentication.

Netcheques is a mobile application developed during the HackTU Hackathon at Thapar University, Patiala on February 26, 2021. Built by a team of four, the project aimed to provide a seamless financial transaction experience without requiring internet connectivity.

The app functioned similarly to a debit card, where users could enter a PIN on the merchant’s device to authorize transactions. All transactions used QR codes for quick and secure communication between devices.

Although the project remained incomplete, it demonstrated a powerful proof-of-concept that leveraged serverless architecture and mobile-first design for robust financial operations.

Key Features:

  • Works without internet connectivity
  • QR code-based transactions
  • PIN-based authentication
  • Simulates a debit card-like experience

Tools Used:

  • Flutter

  • DynamoDB
  • Serverless Framework
