About us:
BVNK provides modern payment infrastructure for businesses. We unify banks and blockchains in a single platform. With BVNK, businesses can send and receive stablecoin payments, convert between currencies, and add stablecoin payments to their checkout. Using our flexible platform and robust global licensing and compliance expertise, innovators can launch new payment products quickly and compliantly.
We are a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that all payment flows will interact with crypto in the coming decade, and BVNK will be at the forefront of this transformation of the financial system.
We recently secured a strategic investment from Visa through their Visa Ventures arm. This follows our $50 million Series B in December, led by Haun Ventures with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. The continued confidence from these leading investors has enabled us to accelerate our growth trajectory, and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the next generation of payments.
We're incredibly honoured to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces two years running (2023 and 2024) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.
