About us

Our company

A yellow pearl travels along a single green groove that splits into multiple grooves.

We’ve developed a new platform that changes the way we do cross-border payments.

Slow speeds and high fees—which affect the poorest the most—can be reduced to just a fraction of what they are today.

DANIEL is a fintech company committed to enabling true borderless banking and accelerating financial inclusion, especially in the developing world.
