Vaultera Raises $28M Series A to Expand Transparent Banking Platform

A milestone for transparent banking

We are proud to announce that Vaultera has closed a $28 million Series A financing round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Ribbit Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and a group of strategic angel investors from across the banking and blockchain industries. This investment will accelerate our mission to make every financial transaction verifiable while keeping deposits fully protected.

When we founded Vaultera eighteen months ago, we set out to answer a question that seemed almost naive: why can't banking be both safe and transparent? Today, with over 40,000 customers and $180 million in deposits on our platform, we have demonstrated that the answer is: it can. This round of funding will help us bring that answer to a much larger audience.

What we will build

The Series A capital will be deployed across three strategic priorities that will define Vaultera's next phase of growth.

• Product Expansion: We are building a full-featured business banking suite, including multi-user accounts, role-based permissions, and API-driven payment workflows -- all with the same on-chain verification that individual customers already rely on.
• International Expansion: Vaultera will launch in the United Kingdom and European Union in Q4 2026, working with local banking partners and regulators to adapt our transparent banking model to new jurisdictions.
• Engineering Investment: We are doubling our engineering team to accelerate development of our core verification infrastructure, improve platform performance, and build the developer tools that will let other companies integrate Vaultera's transparency capabilities into their own products.

A word from our investors

Vaultera represents a fundamental rethinking of the trust model in banking. By making verification a structural feature rather than an afterthought, they have built something that both consumers and regulators are excited about. We are thrilled to lead this round. -- Arianna Simpson, General Partner, a16z crypto
