Summary
Kontigo builds a USDC-based neobank for Latinos in the U.S. and Latin America. Founded by Jesus Castillo, who previously built Venezuela's largest micro-lending platform, and Gino Guatavita, who scaled fintech companies across Colombia, Mexico, and Ecuador, they solve expensive cross-border payments (up to 20% fees) and currency depreciation. Users get a USDC wallet and Bitcoin savings account, with an AI banker on WhatsApp for transactions. They've processed $540k in deposits with 10k active users in 20 days.
