BVNK

Our mission is to accelerate the global movement of money. This isn’t just about speeding up transactions. It’s about economic progress. It’s about freeing up working capital and helping businesses to succeed. We’re doing that by working with the best of blockchain on one side, and multiple layers of banking redundancy on the other.

We've raised $50 million in Series B funding to fuel the next era of stablecoin payments. The round was led by Haun Ventures, with Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW VC, Avenir and Tiger Global Management. We’re still focused on accelerating global money movement and empowering businesses to grow. The funding enables us to bring internet-speed payments to more businesses in the US, from our new base in San Francisco 🇺🇸 Read more from our founder and CEO Jesse Hemson-Struthers on the BVNK blog (link in the comments).
