A global payment network Noah has raised $22 million in seed funding to build foundational infrastructure for fast, compliant, and cost-effective global payments using stablecoins.
Funding comes from LocalGlobe, Felix Capital and FJ Labs. Notable angel investors also participated in the round, including Joe Lonsdale (Palantir), David Helgason (Unity), Alexander Matthey (former Adyen CTO), and Tom Stafford (DST Global).
Founded by ex-Visa and Adyen executives, Noah empowers businesses to move money across borders instantly, transparently, and at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems.
While domestic payments have become fast and digital, cross-border transactions remain burdened by SWIFT: outdated, slow, and expensive. Noah replaces this system with a unified global network, connecting local payment rails through stablecoins.
Thijn Lamers, co-founder and president of Noah said
Having seen Adyen's growth firsthand, I recognise that stablecoins represent an even more profound shift. Traditional processors optimize within existing constraints. We're eliminating those constraints entirely. Our platform gives businesses the fastest, cheapest, most transparent way to move money globally and our mission is to make legacy cross-border payment methods look antiquated.
With Noah’s simple API and checkout integrations, businesses can convert between fiat and stablecoins in real time (across more than 50 currencies and 70 countries) all while maintaining rigorous compliance and transparency.
The rise of stablecoin represents a fundamental reshaping of global finance,
said Shah Ramezani, founder and CEO of Noah.
We foresee an exponential acceleration, projecting a $2 trillion market by 2028. Our platform is building the vital infrastructure for businesses to fully leverage this revolution, making international payments as fluid as data transmission and equipping them for this profound evolution in how value moves.
Doubling down on the stablecoin revolution
While other platforms treat stablecoins as an add-on, Noah is built entirely around them. This singular focus, architected from the ground up, gives Noah a clear edge in scaling stablecoin adoption globally.
Furthermore, strategic alliances with leaders like Circle and Paxos are amplifying Noah’s reach across key use cases, from remittances and payroll to enterprise transactions and humanitarian aid. Whether it's a multinational company or an NGO on the frontlines, Noah ensures faster, fairer access to money anywhere in the world.
Ashmina Arora, partner at LocalGlobe commented
Noah isn't passively observing the future of stablecoins; the team is actively building it. By seamlessly converging fiat, local payment rails, stablecoins and robust compliance into a single layer, Noah establishes itself as the indispensable foundation for anyone serious about modern global money movement.
The new funding will fuel Noah’s expansion into key fintech hubs across the US, Europe, and Asia, accelerate licensing efforts, and drive innovation across its product and engineering teams.
