Neobanks

Neobank Infrastructure

No scheme membership. One API. Launched under your brand.

Everything a digital bank needs under its own brand: accounts customers can be paid into, cards they spend with every day, and payment rails that reach the world — assembled on one platform instead of a dozen vendor integrations.

The problem

Launching payments usually means building a bank first.

The product is rarely the hard part. The dependencies are: scheme membership, a sponsor bank, a certified PCI environment and a stack of vendors, each with its own queue.

  • Scheme membership is a project in itself.

    Going to Visa or Mastercard directly means capital requirements, audits and a sponsor bank before a single card ships.

  • Compliance becomes a second product.

    PCI DSS, KYC, AML monitoring and disputes each need their own people, vendors and audit cycles.

  • Every vendor is another integration.

    Processor, ledger, KYC and payout providers each bring their own API, contract and failure modes.

Run it yourself

Teams using Neobanks
In one sentenceWhat infrastructure does a neobank need?A neobank needs four layers: account infrastructure (IBANs customers can receive salaries into), card issuing (branded virtual and physical cards with controls), payment rails (SEPA, SWIFT and FX for money in and out), and a compliance layer (KYC onboarding, AML monitoring, reporting). Neobank infrastructure platforms deliver all four as APIs, so the neobank builds only its brand, app and customer experience.

FAQ

The questions teams actually ask.

Ask our team
Can we launch a neobank without a banking license?

Many neobanks launch on partner infrastructure rather than their own license: the platform and its sponsors hold the regulated relationships while the neobank owns brand, app and customers. Licensing strategy for your specific markets is scoped during onboarding.

How long does it take to launch a neobank on NetPay?

Partners typically reach a live pilot in weeks because accounts, card rails, compliance workflows and APIs already exist — the timeline is driven by your app build, not by infrastructure.

Can customers receive their salary into the account?

Yes — every customer can have named IBAN details that receive SEPA and SWIFT credits, with events streamed to your app the moment funds land.

What makes card experience 'neobank-grade'?

Instant virtual issuance at signup, real-time spending notifications from authorization webhooks, in-app freeze and controls, and branded physical cards — all standard capabilities of the issuing platform.
