Kontigo, a USDC-smart neobank for Latinos offering digital dollar savings, payments, and remittances, has announced a partnership with Flagright.
Both companies, alumni of Y Combinator, will collaborate to build a robust compliance framework supporting Kontigo’s rapid growth.
The partnership aims to enhance transaction security and regulatory compliance for Kontigo’s customers. By integrating Flagright’s advanced monitoring and screening tools, Kontigo plans to strengthen its ability to detect risks, prevent fraud, and ensure safe, seamless financial services for its users.
Kontigo provides a mobile banking platform enabling Latinos to hold digital dollars, send no-fee USDC remittances, pay via QR codes, and earn up to 8% annually on savings plans known as “Kochinitos.” It offers both personal and business accounts, 24/7 customer support, and a smart WhatsApp adviser, helping users protect their savings from inflation while facilitating instant dollar transfers.
Flagright offers transaction monitoring, AML screening, case management, risk scoring, and AI forensics tools designed to detect and prevent suspicious activity in real time. Its no-code platform allows financial institutions to configure rules rapidly, investigate alerts efficiently, and maintain complete audit trails for compliance purposes.
Through this collaboration, Kontigo will leverage Flagright’s real-time monitoring to oversee wallet top-ups, payments, and USDC transfers while benefiting from automated risk scoring and AI-powered investigations. This integration aims to provide a scalable, secure framework for compliance as Kontigo expands its financial services offering.
“At Kontigo, we help Latinos protect their money from inflation and move dollars instantly. Flagright’s real-time monitoring and screening provide the control we need to keep our community safe while we scale,” Kontigo chief technology officer Massimo Di Berardino said.
“We’re proud to welcome our YC peers at Kontigo as our latest client. By combining Kontigo’s innovative USDC-based banking experience with Flagright’s AI-native compliance stack, we will deliver a secure, friction-free way for users to save, send, and spend dollars,” Flagright co-founder and CTO Madhu Nadig said.
