Global fintech firm, MANSA, has announced the close of a $10 million funding round. This will help the company in its mission to alleviate liquidity challenges for payment companies worldwide. MANSA’s stablecoin-based solution offers payment providers in emerging and mature markets a flexible and reliable way to manage liquidity challenges in cross-border payments.
Co-founded by Mouloukou Sanoh and Nkiru Uwaje, MANSA has deep expertise across traditional finance, payments, and Web3. The team shares a passion for innovation and is committed to transforming how money moves globally and building next-generation market infrastructure for payments and financial services.
MANSA has raised $3 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Tether and co-led by Polymorphic Capital with participation from other prominent investors, including Octerra Capital, Faculty Group, and Trive Digital. The fintech company has secured an additional $7 million in liquidity funding from institutions, including corporate investors, quantitative funds, and alternative investment firms. The funds will support MANSA’s further market expansion into Latin America and Southeast Asia, alongside the rollout of bespoke liquidity and ancillary solutions tailored to address complex cross-border payments needs.

We are proud to collaborate with MANSA and support their efforts to reshape global payment infrastructure.” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
Expansion to New Markets
