“We are witnessing a massive shift in which consumers are demanding complete and transparent control over their assets, and expecting the financial services that they use to give them that control,” Bam Azizi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mesh, said in a statement. “Embedded finance is going to be a $7 trillion market opportunity.”
Mesh, formerly known as Front Finance, is an enterprise-focused financial platform that claims to enable “safer and easier” crypto transfers and payments from more than 300 exchanges and wallets.
The company’s website states that end users can authenticate themselves on external exchanges or wallets and transfer assets directly to financial enterprises. The company asserts that it enables financial institutions to connect with their users’ financial accounts, facilitating key functions such as ‘write’ and ‘transfer.
Mesh’s products provide enterprise clients with the ability to enable digital asset transfers, crypto payments, account aggregation and registered securities trading, all within its platform.
“Embedded crypto and finance will be a key driver for building the modern financial user experience,” added Mike Giampapa, General Partner of Galaxy’s Venture team.
Mesh claims it has partnered with more than 70 companies across finance and digital assets within a year of pivoting to becoming an enterprise-focused platform. Its products can be integrated with popular wallets and exchanges including Metamask, Coinbase, Binance, amongst others.
