Mural raises $28 million total to power fintechs and agentic finance.
Today we're announcing $28 million in total funding, including a $15 million Series A led by Tether with participation from North Island Ventures and our existing investors.
Fortune has the story: Mural, a startup founded by former Palantir engineers, raises $15 million bid to connect banks to the emerging bot economy.
The problem we set out to solve
Many global businesses stitch together dozens of financial tools, bank partners, and compliance vendors to offer financial products to their customers, with nothing connecting them. Our founders, Sinclair Toffa and Chris Fernandes, saw this problem as engineers at Palantir, integrating disconnected systems for Fortune 100 companies. Mural is that work, rebuilt for finance.
What we built
Mural is the compliant system of record that fintechs and platforms build on to move, store, and grow money for their customers. One system manages the accounts, payments, identity, and compliance behind their financial products. We handle the licenses, bank relationships, and local and blockchain payment rails required to operate across markets. Our forward deployed engineers embed with customers on the ground in each market and launch alongside them.
Customers including Deel, Opera, and Axexo build on Mural for products like payroll and remittances. Since launching our API in 2025, we've processed $2.1 billion in payment volume for end users in 128 countries, and our 2026 volume to date is nearly six times all of 2025.
Ready for agents
Real-world stablecoin payments more than doubled in 2025 to roughly $390 billion, according to McKinsey and Artemis Analytics, and businesses are now accepting payments from AI agents. When an agent moves money, someone needs to know who authorized it and who is accountable. Our accounts already apply limits, approved counterparties, and approvals on larger payments, with an audit trail on every action. That foundation was built for people. It's ready for agents.
What this round funds
- Building the most robust infrastructure for moving, storing, and growing money
- Bringing on more Muralians to join this incredible mission
- Expanding our licensing and compliance footprint
- Bringing more markets onto the Global Financial Internet (see our Manifesto here)
