We enable businesses to send and receive global real-time bank payments, without cards, wallets, or correspondent banks. By making local payment schemes interoperable, Ivy accelerates settlement, cuts costs, and simplifies payments. With offices in Berlin, Munich, London, and Helsinki, Ivy powers global businesses and has secured $30 million in funding from leading fintech investors, including Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures and Creandum.
