Founded in 2020 by David Nandwa, HoneyCoin offers an API-driven platform that allows businesses to collect payments, settle in real-time via stablecoins or fiat, and open bank accounts, debit cards, or wallets across 45 markets. The company processes over $150 million in monthly transaction volume, serving 350+ enterprise clients and hundreds of thousands of consumers through its flagship app, Peer. Notable clients include Cedar Money, TerraPay, and Jiji [1].
HoneyCoin's platform provides a single, compliant gateway to both stablecoins and traditional rails, enabling businesses to choose the faster and cheaper option. The startup's mission is to build the "operating system for money," akin to how Apple redefined computing and Visa transformed global commerce [1].
The investment in HoneyCoin aligns with Visa's broader strategy to enhance stablecoin on- and off-ramps, particularly in emerging markets where traditional banking infrastructure is sparse. The Stellar Development Foundation's involvement is also strategic, as it has been building out USDC on the Stellar network for cross-border payments [1].
The funding will support HoneyCoin's expansion, including bolstering its team, enhancing compliance and licensing, and refining its product suite for payment service providers and enterprises seeking compliant access to stablecoin settlement rails and FX liquidity [1].
