what's Kontigo?

Kontigo is a stablecoin-focused neobank targeting users in emerging markets, particularly Latinos in the US and Latin America. It provides a self-custodial USDC wallet for sending, receiving, and saving stablecoins without fees, inflation risks, or traditional banking limits. Key features include Piggy Banks for BTC-backed savings, international USDC credit/debit cards earning yield, AI-powered private banking via WhatsApp, and tools like universal QR payments and smart routing for cross-border transactions. Built by a team with experience from Venmo, Nubank, Rappi, and other fintechs, Kontigo emphasizes real-world use cases such as remittances, credit building, and retirement planning in Bitcoin. It integrates APIs for pay-ins/pay-outs, wallet checkout, and payment buttons, positioning itself as a borderless alternative to apps like Venmo or Revolut but denominated in stablecoins like USDC and USDT.
