Tensec Raises $12M to Become the Stripe of Global Trade

With backing from top VCs, Tensec aims to revolutionize B2B cross-border payments for SMBs through AI and real-time fintech infrastructure.

Highlights:

  • $12M Seed Round Secured: Tensec, founded by ex-Rapyd and Meta execs, raised $12M to disrupt the $190T B2B cross-border payments market.
  • Empowering SMBs: The platform enables global trading companies to offer FX, treasury, and real-time payments to underserved SMB clients.
  • No-Code, AI-Driven Platform: Tensec’s infrastructure eliminates integration hurdles and streamlines compliance for faster, cheaper global commerce.

Summary: Tensec, a fintech startup launched by veterans from Rapyd, Meta, and Goldman Sachs, has secured $12 million in seed funding led by Costanoa Ventures. The company is building a no-code, AI-powered platform that allows global trading companies to embed financial services—like FX, cross-border payments, and treasury—directly into their workflows.

Targeting the $190 trillion B2B trade market, Tensec aims to empower SMBs that have long lacked access to institutional-grade financial tools. Already supporting $10 billion in trade volume, the company plans to expand into APAC and Europe, positioning itself as the Stripe for global trade.
