HoneyCoin is building the financial infrastructure that powers Africa's next wave of commerce. We make it possible for businesses to collect, convert, and settle money across borders, fast, affordably, and reliably, using a hybrid of fiat and stablecoin rails that cut through the cost and friction of legacy banking. Our platform is already live across Africa, Europe, North America, and Asia, processing over $500M per quarter and serving 350+ enterprise customers.
We raised a $4.9M seed round backed by Flourish Ventures, Visa Ventures, TLcom Capital, Stellar Development Foundation, 4DX Ventures, and Antler. We've also partnered with Tether to expand stablecoin access across the continent.
