Regulated fintech payments platform: card issuing, acquiring, IBAN accounts, and digital banking.
Paynetics is a UK-regulated e-money institution and principal member of Mastercard, VISA, and SWIFT offering card issuing, acquiring, IBAN accounts, and money transfers through a single digital platform. The tech stack (PHP/Symfony, PostgreSQL, Go, TypeScript, Playwright) reflects a mature backend-heavy architecture supporting complex payment processing; active projects signal engineering maturity and governance focus (delivery frameworks, AI-driven automation), while pain points cluster heavily around compliance, legacy refactoring, and operational resilience—typical for a regulated fintech scaling beyond startup phase.

Paynetics simplifies B2B payments by combining the regulatory trust of a licensed e-money institution with fintech agility. The platform bundles card issuing (with BIN sponsorship, loyalty, and mobile digitalization), e-commerce acquiring (one-stop onboarding and processing), IBAN accounts (fully functional but lower-cost than traditional banking), and emerging tools like white-label eWallets, QR payments, and Software POS. Founded in 2005 and based in London, the company operates at 51–200 headcount with active hiring in Bulgaria, reflecting operational scaling across engineering, legal, and sales functions.
