Pana

Pana is a Miami-based, Y Combinator-backed neobank building a stablecoin-native dollar account for Latinos and immigrants in the United States and their families across Latin America. It powers a closed-loop remittance network - borderless USD balances that move money instantly between users with zero fees, backed by USDC and settling to more than 5,000 banks across 27 countries. Founded in 2021 by Piero Nunez del Risco and Luis Pena, Pana pairs a consumer app (US checking-style accounts opened with a passport, a Mastercard debit card, direct deposit, and free peer transfers) with an emerging embedded-finance layer that lets banks and platforms serve the US diaspora.
