About Synctera

Synctera provides a platform for businesses to create and launch their own banking and financial products through Banking as a Service (BaaS). It uses secure application programming interfaces (APIs) to give access to necessary technologies, along with comprehensive documentation to assist in development. Unlike its competitors, Synctera partners with sponsor banks to handle the actual banking services, allowing businesses to focus on their product vision. The goal is to enable companies to offer banking services without becoming banks themselves.
