About Meow
Meow is a fintech company offering a unified business banking platform. Its core services include corporate bank accounts, physical and virtual corporate cards with 2.5% cashback on eligible AI spending, global payments with no wire or ACH fees, stablecoin (USDC) on/off-ramping, invoicing, and integrations with accounting tools like QuickBooks and Xero. The platform also enables AI agents to open accounts and manage finances autonomously.
The company's key differentiator is its all-in-one approach: it combines traditional fiat banking with stablecoin infrastructure, allowing businesses to hold both fiat and USDC in one place, spend globally with cards, and settle cross-border transactions instantly. This eliminates the need for multiple fragmented providers and manual reconciliation.
Meow addresses several market pain points: high banking fees, slow cross-border settlement, complex stablecoin-to-fiat conversion, and the operational burden of managing separate tools for payments, cards, and accounting. By consolidating these functions, Meow reduces costs, speeds up treasury operations, and simplifies financial workflows for modern businesses, especially those operating internationally or dealing with crypto assets.
In the past six months (February to August 2026), Meow has expanded its stablecoin payment capabilities through a partnership with BVNK, enabling support for multiple stablecoin currencies and blockchains. It also integrated with Stripe Issuing to power its corporate cards, now available in 10 geographies with plans for further expansion. Additionally, Meow launched AI-agent-friendly account opening, allowing autonomous agents to bank directly. No significant negative events were reported during this period.
Meow was founded in 2021, initially based in New York City (later moved to Miami Beach).
In November 2021, Meow completed a $5 million seed round, with investors including Coinbase Ventures, Gemini Frontier Fund, and Lux Capital.
In July 2022, Meow closed a $22 million Series A round led by QED Investors, with participation from Tiger Global Management and others, bringing total funding to $27 million.
Key progress in the past six months: In April 2026, Meow launched the first financial infrastructure built for AI agents, enabling agents to complete account opening, KYC, card issuance, payments, and invoicing via natural language with Claude, ChatGPT, etc., with built-in permissioning that prevents unilateral fund movement by default. In June 2026, the company achieved record card spend, signups, and FX volume, with net inflows reaching nine figures. In July 2026, Meow partnered with Stripe and Bridge to enable direct stablecoin spending in 10 regions via Stripe Issuing, and manage fiat and stablecoin balances on the same platform through Bridge API and Stripe Treasury, integrating QuickBooks and Xero for faster reconciliation. In August 2026, Meow positioned itself as the operating layer for agent-led finance, consolidating business checking, payments, cards, treasury, global payouts, and stablecoins.
Future focus: Meow emphasizes a post-dashboard era where AI agents handle routine finance operations, aiming to be the agent-friendly operating layer with centralized control, permissioning, multi-entity visibility, integrations, and low-cost rails; it also plans to expand stablecoin-native banking and global payments.
