Platform

The full banking stack, without the chartering process

Altobanc handles the regulatory and banking partner relationships so your team focuses entirely on the product experience.

  • Branded deposit accounts

    Branded checking and savings accounts held at our partner banks. Eligibility for deposit insurance depends on the partner bank and account structure.

  • Card issuing

    Physical and virtual debit card issuing with real-time spend controls and rewards configuration.

  • ACH & wire transfers

    Same-day ACH and wire transfer rails built directly into your product without separate integrations.

  • KYC & compliance automation

    Automated identity verification and ongoing compliance monitoring handled through the platform.

  • Ledger & reconciliation

    Real-time ledger reconciliation across every account, eliminating manual reconciliation work.

  • White-label mobile SDKs

    Pre-built mobile and web SDKs for account opening, card management, and transaction history.

How it works

From API integration to a live banking product in 10 weeks

Most platforms move from initial integration to a fully compliant, live banking product faster than a direct bank charter application alone would take.

  1. Define your product

    Configure account types, card programs, and compliance requirements for your use case.

  2. API integration

    Your engineering team integrates our APIs and SDKs into your existing product.

  3. Compliance review

    Our bank partners and compliance team review the program before launch.

  4. Go live

    Launch your branded banking product with ongoing compliance monitoring included.

What platform leaders say

  • “We evaluated a direct bank charter path first. Altobanc got us to a live, compliant banking product in ten weeks instead of the eighteen months a charter would have taken.”

    Felix Andersen-Moya

    Co-Founder & CEO, Pennywhistle Payroll

  • “Their compliance team caught issues in our program design before our own legal counsel did. That partnership depth matters more than the API alone.”

    Zainab Kariuki

    VP Product, Gigspring Marketplace

  • “Real-time ledger reconciliation eliminated a manual process our finance team used to spend a full week on every month.”

    Lorenzo Pettinari

    CFO, Dockside Freight Pay
