You're like the person who's struck gold and believes it to be tin foil.
You're being paid like a developer, but spending your days in direct contact with real customers and their real pains? You say it's a fintech, so odds are this is a specific niche of customers, with specific needs, and you get to learn about what they are?
Ask yourself if by "haven't learned much" you mean "coding stuff".
As for the "things are pretty much disorganized" - again, it's a mindset thing.
If stuff is holding back making customers happy, and you find a way to make it better, that's a direct impact on the bottom line. Whether it's through better documentation, or a set of processes, or writing a bunch of scripts...that's what ownership looks like.
And sure, you're not an owner in this company, but assuming you see yourself taking ever more senior roles (with compensation to match), this kind of experience will probably help you more than writing a couple of extra buttons on an app.
