Our story
Power of We

WeLab Bank combines the power of fintech with the power of people to open up a new world of virtual banking.

We are built for you

This bank is for you. Using the latest mobile technology and best-in-class financial minds, we’ve designed a digital-first and digital-only bank to make banking simple, fast, social and fun.

Without physical branches, we can create savings that we pass back to you in the form of better rates, more flexibility, and smarter ways to grow your money. We leverage behavioral science and technology to make your money dreams happen – all accessible at your fingertips.

This is the power of fintech.

We are human

Behind this screen and the lines of code are passionate individuals who grew up in Hong Kong, take the same buses and aspire for a better future just like you. We’re here to listen and co-ideate with you, because that’s how we can continue to understand and make banking work and make sense for you .

This is the power of people.

We are gamechangers

We’re a group of bankers, technologists, designers, and risk managers who left our corporate jobs because we wanted to create a game-changing bank for you. We changed out of our suits and ties so we can roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty building a ground-breaking banking experience.

The Most Innovative Bank* in Hong Kong

WeLab Bank is ranked number 1 as the most innovative company among 200+ companies across industries in Hong Kong, according to the inaugural “Corporate Innovation Index (CII)”, the first-of-its-kind corporate innovation index in Hong Kong launched by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. This accolade reflects our innovation excellence in a range of areas including service offerings, company culture and business model - all these enable us to reimagine banking services.
