Ivy is a default global, default instant financial infrastructure on a mission to move money at internet speed. Sending money across the globe should be as seamless as sending an email, yet today, businesses still face high fees and T+2 settlement times. It’s time for a change.
As 60+ countries roll out real-time payment rails and stablecoins emerge as regulated interoperability assets, Ivy acts as the connective API layer between these systems. 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.

At better ventures, we believe that purpose-driven entrepreneurs will change our world for the better. They drive innovation and dare to tackle the most pressing challenges of the place our kids will live in.
When you as founders work with us, we commit to doing the same: We’ll help you make an impact and add value to your business far beyond money. We see us as your experienced co-founders, sitting in the same boat, solving your challenges in the best way together. And we are in for the long-run. Our commitment doesnt stop.
We are entrepreneurs first and foremost. We dont care how much money you raise in follow-on rounds. We care about building a successful venture that lasts. We know how you stay in the driver seat and what it’s worth down the road. To us, it’s the better way on a mission to drive change if you as founders keep control of your company. Therefore, we invest with founder-friendly terms and stick to our values that define the way we work.
