Our take

Cross River is a fintech and banking company that builds scalable embedded payments, cards, lending, and crypto solutions for businesses and individuals. Now a unicorn company with a valuation exceeding $1B, Cross River was founded in 2008 as a way to combine the innovations of financial technology with the existing world of banking.

Cross River has partnered with rising fintech businesses such as Ibanera, helping the Florida-based company build an all-in-one cross-border payments service. The company’s bigger picture approach has allowed it to develop several arms in the lending, compliance, and capital market sectors, amongst others, leading to a corporate flexibility that is crucial in the rapidly-evolving market.
