Nova is Born
Founded in San Francisco with a team of 3 engineers.
We are building a bank that treats you like a person, not a number. No branches, no queues, just powerful technology.
In 2018, our founder Alex lost his wallet in Tokyo. Freezing his card took 45 minutes on hold with his bank. He realized banking hadn't changed in 50 years.
Nova was born to solve that problem. We built a bank from scratch—one that lives on your phone, reacts instantly, and helps you live better.
From a coffee shop idea to a global bank.
Founded in San Francisco with a team of 3 engineers.
Raised $20M to build the first version of the app.
Reached our first major milestone and launched Metal cards.
Launched in Europe and Asia with multi-currency support.
We don't hide fees in the fine print. What you see is what you pay.
Money should move as fast as information. Instant transfers, always.
We build what our users ask for. Your feedback drives our roadmap.
Supported by world-class investors who believe in our vision.
Traditional banks use paper, branches, and massive servers. Nova is 100% digital.
The people building the future of finance.
