Shinkansen builds a single API integration layer that connects banks and fintechs across Latin America, using AI to automate operations, prevent fraud and provide cryptographic traceability of transactional messages. The company emphasizes a regulatory-first model and states it does not touch client funds, positioning itself as middleware between financial institutions. Founders include CEO Leo Soto, cofounder Francisco Larraín and CTO Ubaldo Taladriz. Early customers include fintechs Xepelin, Buk and Buda, plus brokers, insurers and retail chains. With the $3 million seed raise led by ALLVP, Shinkansen plans to expand its bank integrations and commercial footprint into Mexico, Peru and other Latin American markets.
