    Participated · Series A · Oct 2025

    Founded in 2023 by fintech veterans Simon Vans-Colina, Salim Dhanani, and Dmitry Bocharov, Pave Bank delivers both traditional and programmable banking rails through APIs and smart-contract infrastructure. Its platform enables businesses to automate payments, transfers, and treasury functions while seamlessly handling fiat and digital-asset transactions. Headquartered in Singapore with a Georgian banking licence and a London office, the company positions itself at the intersection of regulated banking and blockchain technology. Management intends to expand operations into the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and the European Economic Area to reach a wider enterprise customer base. Since launch, Pave Bank has secured roughly $45 million in total funding, underscoring investor confidence in its vision of programmable finance. The fresh capital will be deployed to deepen product development, obtain additional regulatory approvals, and scale geographic coverage.
