$5m · Seed · Fintech · London, UK
Seva Money, a London fintech building receive-side infrastructure for remittance providers, has raised $5m in Seed funding. The company said Blockwall and Revent co-led the round, with returning pre-seed investors Seedcamp, Stride.VC and Ada Ventures participating. Angels include Husayn Kassai, Benjamin Fernandes and Michael Kent. The capital will support product development, more money-transfer-operator partnerships and expansion into additional receive markets.
Building value after the payout
Most remittance products optimise the sending transaction: price, foreign exchange and speed. Seva Money is working on what happens after funds arrive. Its white-label platform lets money transfer operators add a recipient wallet and card to their existing flows, combining fiat and stablecoin rails with spending, rewards, savings, healthcare and other services.
The commercial idea is to turn a one-off payout into a longer customer relationship. An operator can offer new services to people it already reaches through established corridors, creating recurring revenue without building its own wallet, card and benefits infrastructure. For recipients, the same transfer can become a way to pay for everyday needs or access services rather than ending as cash collection. The opportunity depends on operators adopting a third-party receive-side layer and on Seva Money managing the local product, compliance and service partnerships that differ by market.
Tech Funding News reported that Seva Money is already live in India and Mexico. The company plans to enter the Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania and Ghana over the next 12 months. That rollout gives the funding a clear operational purpose: more corridors only matter if the product can assemble useful local services and integrate them into the transfer experience.
Stablecoin rails meet existing distribution
Seva Money is not asking consumers to adopt a standalone crypto product. It uses stablecoins alongside fiat inside infrastructure sold to established remittance operators. That distribution model may lower the behavioural hurdle for recipients, while the operator retains the customer relationship. Seedcamp, which reinvested in the round, highlighted the combination of stablecoin rails with health and financial services on the receiving side.
