Meow
“Can a neobank built for startups become the programmable financial OS for AI agents and global teams by combining fiat banking, stablecoins, and spend controls in a single CLI-driven platform?”
Founded in 2021 as a compliant crypto yield product for corporate treasuries, Meow raised $22M Series A in 2022 from Tiger Global and pivoted away from its crypto-first positioning after the 2022 crypto market collapse. It reoriented as a full-stack SMB neobank offering high-yield checking, T-bills, international payouts (via Airwallex), and corporate cards, targeting startups and high-growth companies as a low-cost alternative to traditional business banking. By 2025, Meow added stablecoin infrastructure via Bridge and Stripe and is now positioning aggressively as the banking OS for AI agents — allowing autonomous agents to open accounts, issue cards, and execute payments via a CLI/MCP interface.
