Our mission & vision statement

Financial Infrastructure for Global Trade

Cedar Money is the best cross-border payments infrastructure for emerging markets, enabling faster international transactions, FX management, and seamless movement between fiat and stable-coin rails. We make it easier for businesses to operate across Africa and the world.

Our Story

Cedar Money is a financial technology company revolutionizing cross-border payments from emerging markets.

Founded in 2022, we set out to fix a persistent problem; global payments for businesses are still slow, costly, and fragmented, especially between Africa and the rest of the world.

By combining stablecoin with fiat rails, we’ve built a faster, more reliable, and cost-effective way for businesses to move money internationally.



Today, we’re a diverse team across Canada, the U.S., Israel, Serbia, and Nigeria; backed by 7+ investors led by QED Investors, and operating with regulatory registrations including FINTRAC (C100000878) and MSB with FinCEN (31000310586703).

We’re building the infrastructure that makes global business work, without friction.
