Mobile-first accounts, embedded finance, and API-driven infrastructure let neobanks move faster than traditional banks—but that speed means less time for security to catch up. Secure your platform with HackenProof's cybersecurity solutions for neobanks—bug bounty, penetration testing, and vulnerability disclosure—built to catch what scanners and generic pentests miss.

Neobanks Run On Speed And APIs - Attackers Know It
Neobanks are built to move fast: mobile-only onboarding, API-driven core infrastructure, and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) partnerships that let them launch and iterate faster than any legacy bank. That speed is the whole value proposition—but it also means a thinner security track record, more third-party integration points, and remote onboarding flows that are a prime target for identity fraud and account takeover.
01
Regulatory pressure
PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, PSD2, DORA, and MiCA increasingly expect continuous testing, not a once-a-year checkbox
02
High-value targets
Accounts, card issuing, and payment rails are directly monetizable, making neobanks a priority target the moment they gain scale
03
Remote onboarding + BaaS risk
Mobile-only KYC flows and reliance on third-party banking infrastructure partners each add attack surface that a traditional bank's in-house, branch-based model doesn't have
Why Neobank Teams Choose HackenProof
Researchers who understand neobank architecture
Our community includes researchers in mobile-first banking, API infrastructure, and Banking-as-a-Service—not just generic web testing. They know where onboarding logic breaks, not just where forms are unvalidated, and use AI to map vulnerability vectors.
1
A "money is on the line" mindset, not a checklist
HackenProof's roots are in securing systems where a single missed bug means direct financial loss—not just data exposure. That rigor carries directly into how we approach account APIs, card issuing flows, and BaaS partner integrations.
2
Compliance-ready reporting
Every engagement produces documentation mapped to what your auditors, regulators, and BaaS/partner banks expect—clear severity ratings, retest confirmation, and reports formatted for PCI DSS, SOC 2, and internal risk reviews.

Cybersecurity Services for Neobanks
Bug Bounty for Neobanks
Continuous testing that scales with your attack surfaceLaunch a public or private bug bounty program and get year-round coverage from a global pool of security researchers actively looking for the vulnerabilities that matter—authentication bypass, business logic flaws, payment manipulation, and more. Pay only for valid, verified findings.
Best for: neobanks with a live, frequently updated mobile app and API attack surface.
Continuous year-round coverageGlobal researcher communityPay only for valid findingsFocus on real-world vulnerabilities
Penetration Testing for Neobanks
Point-in-time, compliance-grade assessmentsStructured, scoped penetration tests covering mobile apps, APIs, BaaS integrations, and infrastructure—mapped to the frameworks your auditors and partner banks expect. Get a clear, actionable report with severity ratings and remediation guidance from digital-banking specialists.
Best for: neobanks that need a defined engagement for a compliance deadline or partner bank review.
Scoped security assessmentCoverage across critical systemsClear severity-based reportingActionable remediation guidance
Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) for Neobanks
A safe, structured channel for external researchers to report issuesGive ethical hackers and customers a clear, legally safe way to report vulnerabilities—before they end up on social media or in the wrong hands. A public VDP signals security maturity to regulators, partner banks, and customers alike and is often a lower-cost first step before a full bug bounty program.
Best for: neobanks that need a public-facing disclosure channel for compliance or trust reasons.
Faster, more accurate triage—without losing the human review that matters for financial systemsHackenProof uses AI to accelerate vulnerability validation, cutting duplicate and low-signal reports so your team sees high-impact findings sooner. A delayed fix on a payment or account flaw carries real financial risk—faster validation means faster remediation, without sacrificing human review.
Best for: neobank security teams that need to cut noise and speed up time-to-fix across a high volume of reports.
Faster vulnerability triageReduce duplicates and noiseHuman-reviewed validationFaster time to remediation
Whitelabel Vulnerability Coordination Platform for Neobanks
Standalone solution branded specifically for your businessA fully whitelabeled vulnerability coordination platform, built with all the core features your neobank needs to manage disclosure and remediation under your own brand—giving you the infrastructure of a mature security program without building it in-house.
Best for: neobanks that want to run their own branded vulnerability coordination program rather than a HackenProof-branded one.
