Banking-as-a-Service platform for Filipino fintechs and digital lenders
Netbank is a regulated bank offering APIs, payments, and lending infrastructure to Filipino fintechs. The tech stack (AWS/GCP/Azure, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Java, Go) reflects a distributed, high-throughput architecture built for transaction processing at scale. Active hiring skews sales and finance—suggesting a push to onboard and underwrite more fintech partners—while engineering focus on high-availability systems and credit risk automation reveals the core operational tension: managing regulatory compliance and delinquency risk as loan volumes accelerate.

Netbank provides banking-as-a-service infrastructure to digital financial platforms in the Philippines, offering embedded accounts, payment rails, card issuing, and funding for lending products. Founded in 2019 and fully regulated as a bank, the company targets the regulatory gap between fintechs (fast but unlicensed) and traditional banks (licensed but slow). The customer base includes alternative lenders, payment gateways, and digital financial platforms seeking to scale without building banking infrastructure themselves. Operations are anchored in Manila with all hiring concentrated in the Philippines.
