Curve CEO & founder Shachar Bialick said: “Curve is the only wallet that adds superpowers to your money; avoid Fx fees from any linked card, split old purchases into installments, earn cashback on top of any card and more. We see issuers looking to enter the market, and networks introducing innovative products such as Visa Flex and MasterCard One Credentials. This investment would allow us to invest further in our customer experience, bring new partnerships, and accelerate our path to profitability.”
Tomer Jacob FROM Hanaco stated: “Curve reimagined the digital wallet delivering a one-of-a-kind financial experience that simplifies and supercharges how you pay and manage your money – all without changing your bank.

Its ‘Go Back in Time’ feature allows users to transfer transactions between cards retroactively, aiding in cash flow management and debt avoidance.
Additionally, Curve ReFI offers customers to shift balances between cards, preventing late payment fees, and overdrafts.
Curve Flex further supports financial management by enabling customers to split past or future purchases into smaller, more manageable instalments.
