Kira, the global payments infrastructure, has received US$6.7 million in a seed funding round, which it will use to drive the platform’s extension across Latin America, focusing on South America at first.

The platform — which enables companies to set up fintech products in developing markets — secured money from Blockchange Ventures, Vamos Ventures, Stellar Blockchain, Grit Ventures, Credibly Neutral Ventures, Michael Seibel, and Oso Trava.

The financing will also be used to support the growth and development of new fintech products by the platform’s technical team.

According to the firm, Kira has been “running in stealth mode” for over a year, while it established its latest financial transaction service ‘fintech 3.0’, that merges stablecoins, artificial intelligence ,and enterprise APIs.

Edrizio De La Cruz, CEO and co-founder of Kira, says the funding will allow the firm to ramp up the creation of the network, initially in Latin America. “Our vision is to leverage stablecoins and AI to provide modern financial services to the one billion underbanked.”
