Why Banking-as-a-Service

Close the expectation gap, without closing the compliance gap.

By 2030, more than 40% of the region's working-age population will be Gen Z or Alpha - customers who expect an account in minutes, a card at signup, and investing inside the same app they use to pay rent. Banking-as-a-Service lets you meet that expectation on your own licence, at neobank speed.

The Expectation Gap

73% of under-30 customers say they'd switch banks for a better digital experience, and won't wait more than six minutes to open an account. Patience for legacy onboarding queues is gone.

The Product Gap

A neobank opens an account in four minutes, issues a card instantly, and puts stocks, ETFs and crypto in the same app. Traditional banks can offer exactly the same, on their own licence.

The Proof

A Middle East neobank reached 200K+ customers and $1B+ in assets within two years, profitable from year one. Global neobanks have built the same playbook into 100M+ and 70M+ customers respectively. The model works, repeatedly.

Multi-Asset Investing Ecosystem

One Partner Network. Every Asset Class.

Investing activates through a curated ecosystem of licensed partners - a licensed trading member for local market access, a clearing and carrying broker for international equities, a VASP-licensed custodian for digital assets, and portfolio management infrastructure for wealth. Terafin orchestrates all four behind a single customer experience: a customer sees a market dip, converts AED to USD, and buys fractional shares - done at 11pm, inside the same app they use to pay rent. No broker call. No separate account.

  • Local market access via a licensed trading member
  • International equities via a clearing and carrying broker
  • Digital asset execution via a VASP-licensed custodian
  • Wealth and advisory infrastructure for goal-based investing

Partner Integration Model

Already Have Broker Relationships? We Integrate Them.

If your bank already holds partner relationships across these categories, Terafin integrates them directly into the platform. If not, we connect you to a pre-qualified network of certified brokers, custodians, and wealth managers. Either way, your customer sees one seamless product - never a second app, never a separate brokerage account.

  • Existing partner relationships integrated directly
  • Pre-qualified broker and custodian network available where needed
  • One unified customer experience, regardless of partner
  • Your bank retains the licence, the ledger, and the relationship

Regulatory perimeterStays with the licensed partner

Your Regulatory Perimeter Stays Clean

Investment service capabilities activate only via licensed partner execution - your bank's regulatory perimeter stays clean, with each partner's licence covering its own asset-class obligations. Digital asset capabilities route to a licensed VASP or equivalent partner: your bank is the distribution channel, not the licence holder.
