BVNK Secures Strategic Backing from Visa Ventures and Citi Ventures
BVNK, a fintech platform providing stablecoin-based banking infrastructure and APIs, secured strategic backing from Visa Ventures and Citi Ventures, with additional participation from Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, and Tiger Global. The company processes $30 billion in annualized stablecoin payment volume across 2.8 million transactions for global businesses. BVNK added 226 customers in 2025, including major payment firms Worldpay, Deel, Flywire, and Rapyd, powering real-time 24/7 payments that operate beyond traditional banking rails.
The platform expanded its capabilities with embedded wallets, new US payment rails, AI-driven onboarding, and coverage in over 130 countries. This investment from two of the world's largest financial services companies signals that stablecoins have crossed the threshold into mainstream enterprise financial infrastructure. Specific financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
BVNK has indicated plans for additional product launches in Q1 2026 and continued expansion of its regulatory framework.
- Strategic investment by Visa and Citi validates stablecoins as enterprise-grade BaaS infrastructure, likely accelerating adoption by traditional financial institutions
- BVNK's embedded wallet and API-first approach positions stablecoin rails as a viable alternative to legacy payment networks for B2B cross-border payments
