Founded in 2020 by David Nandwa, HoneyCoin offers an end-to-end financial infrastructure.

The platform enables real-time money movement through stablecoins and traditional banking systems. It also facilitates issuing bank accounts, debit cards, and wallets in over 45 markets across four continents.

The company processes more than US$150 million in transactions every month. It serves upwards of 350 enterprise clients and hundreds of thousands of users through its consumer app, Peer. In total, millions of end users rely on HoneyCoin’s services globally.

David Nandwa, the founder and CEO, commented on the funding’s impact: It will help build out the team, expand product offerings, and strengthen regulatory and compliance capabilities.

He added that HoneyCoin aims to be the “operating system for money.” He compared their ambition to Apple’s reinvention of computing and Visa’s reshaping of global commerce, calling the current era of financial infrastructure a once-in-a-generation shift.

HoneyCoin holds licenses in several regions, including the U.S., Canada, the EU, and key African countries.

It has direct partnerships with financial and telecom institutions such as MoneyGram, UBA, and Stripe.

The platform offers rapid settlement—often within minutes or instantly—compared to traditional systems like SWIFT, which can take days.
