Salmon – Who We Are and What We Do

Salmon is a fast-growing consumer FinTech group, founded in July 2022 with the vision of creating the best credit-led, tech-centric bank in Southeast Asia. We chose the Philippines to be our first market and are now a licensed bank and consumer-lending group.

Salmon was founded by three Co-founders who built and held senior leadership positions at Tinkoff, a highly successful tech-enabled bank that reached a market capitalization of more than US$20bn.

Salmon has built a highly qualified and global team of finance and technology professionals and is backed by world-class investors, which include International Finance Corporation (a member of the World Bank Group), Lunate (an investment management vehicle affiliated to the sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi), and other prominent Fintech investors.

We are building a financial technology business that works impeccably 24x365, creating thousands of jobs and providing high quality access to finance for millions of Filipinos — and would love to have you join us on this journey. The new world is ours to discover together
