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 neobank in Southeast Asia. We chose the Philippines to be our first market and are now a licensed consumer-lending group, working towards becoming a licensed bank.

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 ADQ, an investment company wholly owned by the Government 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.
