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 $1 billion, 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.
Cross River was named as one of several companies under investigation for facilitating PPP fraud in the US as of December 2022. It has also come under intense scrutiny from the FDIC for allegations of unsafe banking practices in relation to its lending activities, with a consent order issued in March 2023. In the wake of the FTX and Silicon Valley Bank collapses the regulatory environment is getting tougher and Cross River clearly needs to ensure its processes and activities are compliant with the law if it is going to return to its previous position of growth.
