White-label credit card platform for Brazilian financial institutions
alt.bank operates a turnkey credit card infrastructure for Brazilian banks and fintechs, built on Java, Spring Boot, and AWS. The stack is stable (no major tech migrations underway), and hiring has slowed to a crawl—only one role posted in the last 30 days across seven open positions. Pain points cluster heavily around fraud detection, delinquency management, and customer service scalability, suggesting the company is scaling operational friction rather than pure engineering velocity.

alt.bank provides a white-label credit card platform enabling Brazilian financial institutions to issue prepaid and postpaid cards without building infrastructure from scratch. The offering includes BIN sponsorship, KYC and onboarding (using machine learning and eight data sources), underwriting powered by proprietary risk modeling, and full card management with innovations like Pix Credito and installment products. The company also operates collection systems, invoicing, and customer support. Founded in 2018 and based in São Paulo, alt.bank serves credit providers and companies seeking to embed card offerings into their products.
Java, Spring Boot, Quarkus, AWS, REST APIs, and relational databases (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL) form the core stack. No recent tech migrations are evident from available data.
alt.bank is based in São Paulo, Brazil and hires exclusively in Brazil. Current open roles span security, engineering, finance, ops, and support functions.
Fraud detection and prevention, delinquency reduction, debt reconciliation, customer service bottlenecks, and default avoidance appear as top pain points, indicating scaling pressure in risk and operations.
