Overview
Avanti Bank provides custody for digital assets and payment solutions for institutional clients, operating with a bank charter that enables it to hold deposits and, potentially, clear U.S. dollars through the Federal Reserve. Institutions use its custody to securely hold digital assets and move funds via its payment rails, with an API that lets them integrate Avanti’s services into their own systems; it also offers a tokenized dollar to speed up business payments. The company combines traditional banking safety and regulatory compliance with digital-asset capabilities, aided by its possible status as a U.S. dollar clearing bank and its straightforward API integration. Its goal is to bridge traditional finance and digital assets by offering secure, efficient, and easy-to-integrate financial services for institutions with clear regulatory guidance.
