Founded after its CEO, Segun Adeyemi, a seasoned founder, experienced the painful process of obtaining licences, regulatory approvals and closing banking partnerships. Anchor was built to simplify this process for founders in the fintech space looking to launch products.

Currently, Anchor offers several APIs for fintechs allowing them to operate virtual accounts, conduct seamless KYC/KYB, issue virtual cards, set up savings & credit services, offer bill payments and much more.

Anchor also got accepted into the prestigious Visa Accelerator Program joining an elite group of participants who will spend the next year building and scaling their products.  

These milestones come after it announced its seed raise of $2.4 million in September 2023.
