Ektar was founded in 2022 by three experienced ex-bankers. We build digital security solutions for banking's digital channels — and we have lived inside the institutions we now serve, which means we understand the operational constraints, compliance requirements, and procurement realities that shape how banks actually adopt technology.
Our products are live. Our clients are some of the largest banks in the region. Our roadmap is defined by where the fraud threat and the regulatory landscape are going next.
To make banking safer, smarter, and more trustworthy — for every bank, every channel, and every customer — until trust is no longer something people hope for, but something they simply expect from the banks they rely on each and every day.
We build digital security products that close the three layers of vulnerability in banking's digital channels — protecting every device, every app, and every user interaction — so banks can serve their customers with confidence.
