Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Feezback (Hebrew: פיזבק; also referenced as FeezBack Technologies) is an Israeli fintech company focused on open banking. Founded in 2016 and based in Tel Aviv, it builds technological infrastructure and end products that let financial institutions and fintech companies connect to Israeli banks and credit card companies through APIs.

Its product line covers three areas: payment initiation, which enables merchants and sellers to receive payments directly from a payer's bank account at any bank in Israel without a credit card and without card-processing fees, delivered as a plug-and-play component for sales processes and points of sale; credit underwriting and risk assessment, which supplies a consolidated financial picture into underwriting and credit decision workflows; and advanced financial management, which feeds financial data into financial management processes, investment portfolio analysis and risk allocation.

The company states it holds a financial information service provider license and payment initiation approval, and that it is certified to the ISO 27001 information security standard. Earlier in its history the company also developed a business-to-consumer product: an automated personal finance assistant delivered as a bot-style application that gave users insights into their bank accounts and spending.

Founding story

Feezback was founded in 2016 by Keren Zukerman, described as an experienced fintech entrepreneur, on the premise that the financial ecosystem was about to undergo a major shift driven by open banking reform, new technological possibilities, regulatory support and customer demand for better digital financial products. The founding motivation stated by the company is a belief that technology can narrow the gap between individuals and banks.

Business model

Feezback sells open banking infrastructure and end-user products to financial institutions and fintech companies, which embed its payment initiation, underwriting and financial-management capabilities into their own sales processes, points of payment and internal systems via API-based integration. Earlier work included a direct-to-consumer application acting as an automated personal finance assistant.

Traction

Feezback states it works with leading Israeli financial institutions and the Israeli fintech community, and lists an open banking integration announced by Altshuler Shaham. Its earlier consumer personal-finance app was described as having helped thousands of users save millions of shekels.

Feezback positions itself as the most established and experienced open banking specialist in the Israeli fintech market, citing its 2016 founding, its early analysis of data from all Israeli banks and credit card companies, its role in the 2017 Strum Committee discussions that shaped local open banking regulation, its regulatory licensing for financial information services and payment initiation, ISO 27001 certification, direct integration with customers' internal systems, and hands-on implementation support.

History

The company was founded in 2016 in anticipation of Israel's open banking reform. It was selected to join Barclays Bank's TechStars accelerator program and began analyzing financial data from all banks and credit card companies in Israel. In 2017 it participated in the Strum Committee discussions that shaped Israeli open banking regulation. It later obtained a financial information service provider license and payment initiation approval, and ISO 27001 certification. An early consumer product, a chatbot-style personal financial assistant app, was designed with Tel Aviv studio Muze; the company reported at that time that the app had been used by thousands of users. Today Feezback works with Israeli financial institutions and the local fintech community, including an announced open banking integration with Altshuler Shaham.
