Programmable banking for software developers

Investec, in collaboration with the OfferZen community, has made Investec Private Bank Accounts programmable so you can code your own bank experience.

In partnership with OfferZen

Niche developer banking, built with the community

By launching Programmable Banking, in collaboration with OfferZen, Investec aims to create opportunities for IT professionals and software developers and to challenge what’s possible in financial services. Through Investec’s Private or Business Account you not only get all the benefits of a fully transactional credit card, but you can also access your transactions, set up custom budgeting and notifications, limit spending on products and more.
