How to Add Mutual Fund Workflows to Your Existing App
A practical guide for fintechs on adding mutual fund onboarding, transactions, and portfolio workflows to existing web or mobile apps—without rebuilding core infrastructure.
Introduction
Many fintech apps already serve users—but don’t offer mutual funds yet. The biggest misconception is that adding mutual funds requires rebuilding the app or backend.
In reality, modern platforms allow you to embed complete mutual fund workflows into your existing product with minimal effort.
What Are Mutual Fund Workflows?
Mutual fund workflows are end-to-end journeys that include:
- Investor onboarding & KYC
- Fund discovery
- Lumpsum & SIP investments
- Payments & mandates
- Portfolio tracking & reports
They are modular and can be embedded inside existing apps.
Common Use Cases
Teams typically want to:
- Add mutual funds to a fintech app
- Extend a wealth or advisory platform
- Enable MF investing without new infra
- Launch faster with lower risk
Embedding workflows solves these use cases cleanly.
Integration Approaches
1. Hosted / Embeddable Workflows
- Ready-made MF journeys
- Embedded via WebViews
- Minimal frontend work
- Fastest time to market
Ideal for fintechs prioritizing speed.
2. SDK-Based Integration
- Pre-built UI components
- Native app feel
- More control over UX
- Moderate development effort
Good balance between speed and customization.
3. Full White-Label Apps
- Standalone investor & distributor apps
- Separate branding & stores
- Shared backend infrastructure
Best for platforms wanting full ownership of experience.
What You Don’t Need to Build
By embedding workflows, you avoid:
- MF transaction engine
- RTA / AMC integrations
- Compliance logic
- Reporting reconciliation
These are handled by underlying infrastructure.
Key Considerations Before Integration
- KYC readiness & investor eligibility
- Payment gateway compatibility
- Consent & audit requirements
- Role-based access (investor vs advisor)
Choosing the right platform simplifies all of these.
How MFStack Enables Embedded MF Workflows
MFStack offers:
- Hosted MF workflows (WebView-ready)
- SDKs for deeper integration
- White-label apps if needed
- Built-in onboarding, transactions, reporting

Typical Timeline
- Workflow integration: days

Compared to months of custom builds, this is a major advantage.
Conclusion
Adding mutual fund functionality no longer requires rebuilding your product.
With embeddable workflows, teams can expand offerings, unlock new revenue, and stay compliant—without slowing down their roadmap.
Mutual funds become a feature, not a project.
