    About Us

    We're building the world's leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets - empowering families, fueling local economies, and changing how millions access financial services.

    Since our launch in 2019, we have transformed how money moves across borders with our operations spanning 6 out of 7 continents and covering both the busiest and most underserved (remittance) corridors. We tapped into a massive shift - from banks to phones - bringing digital finance to places where traditional systems never reached. The next stage of growth will fuel a network of services and products especially designed to make money more accessible to diaspora communities including local cards, and additional savings and payments features.

    We're growing fast, backed by world-class investors, and scaling a product that blends real world impact with cutting edge fintech innovation.

    Here's a Little More
    • Founded by Harvard grads and 3-time founders who previously built Segovia (acquired) and GiveDirectly (>$300M revenue, fastest-growing NGO in the world)
    • Backed by top investors including Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, Unbound, Wamda, and more
    • Built by global top performers from Bain, Google, McKinsey, Uber, Checkout, Bolt, and beyond - we move fast, stay humble, and care deeply about our mission
    • Truly global team people, 50+ nationalities, 50+ languages
    • Guided by our values - ownership, impact, humility, and heart - in deed, not just word
