The story

Founded in 2023 in Guatemala, WayBank positions itself as a BaaS infrastructure layer for Central America — providing ACH access, virtual and physical card issuance, crypto payment rails, KYC/AML, and treasury tools via API. The company targets three distinct segments: fintechs needing banking rails, enterprises seeking treasury control, and families wanting budgeted card products. Expansion into El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Colombia, and the US is planned but not yet live.
