“Every fintech and platform in the Philippines eventually hits the same wall: they need a bank that can move as fast as they do. That’s what we’ve built.

This round lets us go deeper—more payment rails, more lending configurations, more ways for our partners to serve their customers without stitching together five different providers. With Altara’s support, we’re accelerating the work that matters most: making financial services invisible, instant, and accessible for every Filipino.”

said Gus Poston, Founder, Netbank.

“A consistent theme across Southeast Asia is the lack of dependable financial infrastructure. Netbank has been steadily addressing that gap—building modular, embeddable and compliant financial services that solve real operational pain points for their partners.

They build with discipline and have a clear understanding of where the market is headed. We are delighted to back their next phase of growth.”

said Dave Ng, General Partner, Altara Ventures.
