Fulgur Ventures Invests in Saf.money to Support Regional Expansion

Guatemala City-based fintech Saf.money has closed a Pre-Seed funding round for an undisclosed amount, aiming to fuel its expansion across Latin America and strengthen its infrastructure with new stablecoin integrations in the United States.

Investors Support Bitcoin and Stablecoin Payment Model

The round was backed by Fulgur Ventures, Plan B, Initial Capital and 1A1z, all betting on the potential of Saf.money’s cross-border payment orchestration platform powered by bitcoin and stablecoins.

A Hybrid Solution Between Digital Assets and Traditional Banking

Founded by Mario Aguiluz (CEO) and Esteban de la Peña (CSO), Saf.money combines digital asset capabilities with traditional banking infrastructure to offer a settlement solution tailored for money-moving businesses. The company focuses on speed, lower costs, improved user experience, and greater flexibility.

Payments as Simple as Sending a Message

Saf.money’s infrastructure runs on bitcoin and stablecoin rails in the background, enabling users to receive money as easily as sending an instant message or email. The platform integrates a WhatsApp bot, Money Addresses, and virtual U.S. bank accounts linked to local accounts, streamlining the sending and receiving of funds.

Growth in Latin America and Next Steps

With this new capital, Saf.money aims to consolidate its footprint in the region and continue forming strategic partnerships to scale its innovative fintech solution.

This Pre-Seed round reinforces Saf.money’s mission to transform remittances and cross-border payments in Latin America by blending the strengths of traditional banking with the advantages of digital assets. With the backing of investors like Fulgur Ventures and Plan B, the company is positioning itself as a key player in delivering faster, more accessible, and more efficient financial services across the region.
