max is a mid-sized Israeli financial institution focused on card issuing, payment acquiring, and credit products. The tech stack reflects infrastructure-heavy operations (Linux, Windows, Kubernetes, Docker, VMware, NSX) with security layers (Checkpoint, Radware) — typical of regulated financial services — but the project list reveals a strategic pivot toward real-time fraud detection and infrastructure modernization, suggesting investment in both risk mitigation and operational resilience.

max issues and processes payment cards (Visa and MasterCard branded), operates merchant acquiring services, and offers credit solutions, loans, and digital payment options to Israeli consumers and businesses. Originally established in 2000 as Leumi Card, it was spun out and rebranded as max in 2019. The company operates a mobile-first digital ecosystem with loyalty programs, P2P payments, location-based B2B2C features, and omnichannel customer support (chat, IVR, social). With 1,001–5,000 employees headquartered in Bnei Brak, max operates in a high-compliance environment where fraud detection, system availability, and regulatory adherence (ISO standards, clearing house operations) are operational mandates.
max runs Business Objects (BI), SQL databases, Linux/Windows/RHEL infrastructure, Kubernetes and Docker for containerization, VMware and NSX for virtualization, and Checkpoint/Radware for security. Artifactory manages artifacts; Ansible and PowerShell handle configuration.
