Brankas

Brankas helps SE Asia use direct bank transfers for online payments by removing the middleman and providing a frictionless “last mile” for payments!​ ​Before Brankas, online sellers would need to pay a bank or payment gateway for expensive “virtual account” systems, or hire a team of analysts to manually match each customer payment and disburse to vendors. Brankas automates the matching and disbursement processes and reduces transaction costs by 80%, letting our merchant partners focusing on growing their business. ​Brankas’ open payments management platform is built using Go on the backend, and TypeScript and VueJS on the frontend. Brankas’ APIs are published as gRPC services and are made available via REST, SOAP, and can be easily exposed via other protocols when needed. Our enterprise platform is comprised of a service-oriented architecture comprising a mix of first- and third- party services. We use transactional, non-relational databases as our primary datastore, and couple that with a conventional relational database (PostgreSQL). All systems and services are deployed as Kubernetes applications on Google’s Cloud and Container Platforms (GCP + GKE). All internal and external services use TLS encryption at the application layer, and all database volumes are stored on encrypted disks using secure keys injected only at launch.
