Senit is building a mobile crypto-bank whose low-cost borderless payments can help to usher in a new era of financial inclusion. The company’s goal is to connect the world’s economies and give people a new way to take back their financial freedom. Senit was accepted out of 1,000+ applicants into Newchip’s renowned global accelerator program’s latest cohort.

“When evaluating companies for our Series A Accelerator, we search for proven business models that are prepared to scale their strong revenues and traction quickly in order to gain further market share and increase their likelihood of industry disruption,” says Brian Lee, Head of Product at Newchip. “We see real potential in Senit and are excited to integrate them into our global network of VCs, angel investors, and family offices seeking to invest in this particular space.”
