Kontigo is a stablecoin-focused neobanking startup founded in 2023 by president Gino Guatavita and CEO Jesus Castillo. Its core product is a digital banking application that leverages stablecoins to facilitate faster, lower-cost cross-border payments. The company specifically targets Latino customers across the United States and Latin America, addressing pain points such as high remittance fees and long settlement times. By building on blockchain rails, Kontigo seeks to provide a more efficient alternative to traditional international money transfers. The recently secured seed funding will be used to accelerate product development and fuel broader global expansion initiatives. Although the firm has not disclosed user or revenue figures, its ability to attract $20 million in early financing highlights investor confidence in its business model.
