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 the UK, Europe, South Africa, the US, 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 have raised $50M in Series B funding from top investors including Haun Ventures, Tiger Global, and Coinbase Ventures, and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the next generation of payments.
We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Most Loved Workplace 2 years running (2023 and 2024) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.
At BVNK we strive to create an environment where people are empowered, and being recognised at number 25 on the list is a nice reminder that we're on the right track.
