Fintech infrastructure startup Zynk has secured $5 million in its recent seed funding round. The investment was led by Hivemind Capital with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Transpose Platform VC, Tykhe Ventures, Alliance DAO, Contribution Capital, and several individual global investors. The fresh capital will help the company strengthen its technology stack, expand into new international markets, and build secure regulatory systems that support fast and reliable cross-border money movement.
Zynk was founded in 2025 by Prashanth Swaminathan, Manish Bhatia, and Abhishek Pitti. The founding team brings strong experience in digital payments, blockchain financial systems, and global fintech operations. With this foundation, the company aims to solve one of the biggest problems in global finance: the slow, expensive, and complex process of sending money across countries.
Simplifying Cross-Border Transactions
Today, when businesses send money to another country, they often need to keep large sums of money locked in various foreign bank accounts. This process is known as maintaining pre-funded accounts, and it increases costs, delays settlements, and limits the speed of global finance. Zynk is removing this heavy requirement by using blockchain-based stablecoin infrastructure that allows instant value movement without the need for maintaining heavy cash reserves across borders.
The platform supports multiple currency corridors including USD, EUR, AED, INR, MXN, and PHP. This makes global operations easier for fintech platforms, international payroll processors, online trading platforms, and digital banking companies. By making settlement nearly real-time, Zynk is helping businesses reduce operational risk and improve liquidity management, which is one of the most challenging areas in global finance today.
Strong Founding Vision
The founders share a common vision of building the future rails for international money flow. Their goal is not to replace banks, but to build technology that works alongside the financial system to make global transfers faster, safer, and more transparent. The team believes that cross-border payments should be as simple as sending a message or paying digitally within a country. This belief drives the company’s effort to design systems that work efficiently while respecting global regulations and compliance frameworks.
Focus on Expansion and Reliability
With the fresh funding, Zynk plans to increase the number of international payment corridors it supports. The company is also investing in stronger regulatory compliance across regions so that businesses can rely on Zynk’s network without worrying about security or legal risks. At the same time, the team is in discussions with global banks and financial institutions to build deeper trust and long-term partnerships.
A Step Toward a Faster Global Economy
The rise of digital banking, online work, and global trade has increased the need for quick and cost-effective cross-border payments. Zynk’s solution arrives at a time when businesses want real-time money movement without friction. If the platform continues to grow as projected, sending money across countries may soon become as fast and easy as sending a UPI payment within India.
